Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2005(OT) Humor, American Bashing...
Well, Purrs to CatNipped for instigating one of the LONGEST threads I've ever seen in a NG. Just to lighten the mood I dug up this little gem.... It was origionally preformed by Rick Mercer on a Canadian political humor show called 'This Hour Has 22 Minutes'. A couple of references will be a little out of date as it was aired before the Nov '04 US election. Hope it makes you smile. An Open apology to Americans On behalf of Canadians everywhere I'd like to offer an apology to the Unided States of America. We haven't been getting along very well recently and for that, I am truly sorry. I'm sorry we called George Bush a moron. He is a moron but, it wasn't nice of us to point it out. If it's any consolation, the fact that he's a moron shouldn't reflect poorly on the people of America. After all it's not like you actually elected him. I'm sorry about our softwood lumber. Just because we have more trees than you does'nt give us the right to sell you lumber that's cheaper and better than your own. I'm sorry we beat you in Olympic hockey. In our defence I guess our excuse would be that our team was much, much, much, much, much better than yours. I'm sorry we burned down your White House during the war of 1812. I see you've rebuilt it. It's VERY nice. I'm sorry about your beer. I know we had nothing to do with your beer but, we feel your pain. I'm sorry about our waffling on Iraq. I mean, when you're going up against a crazed dictator, you wanna have your freinds by your side. I realize it took more than two years before you guys pitched in against Hitler, but that was different. Everyone knew he had weapons. And finally on behalf of all Canadians, I'm sorry that we're constantly apologising for things in a passive-aggressive way which is really a thinly veiled criticism. I sincerely hope that you're not upset over this. We've seen what you do to countries you get upset with.

One of my other newsgroups has lost several members because of political arguments. A number of us moved to another newsgroup where we vow never to discuss politics. I'd rather be able to discuss our differences without anyone getting too upset, and without anybody resorting to name-calling or flaming. This is a great group!

We reserve our most violent players for drive-by shootings. See observation below about the main street along the Rideau Canal. Sport is complex.

In all fairness, even though I live in the Washington DC metro area, the immediate area of Parliament Hill is much superior to the security and bureaucratic zone around the White House. I'm trying to think what we could trade for Byward Market. On the other hand, Pennsylvania Avenue sounds better than Colonel By Drive (along the canal), not to be confused with a drive-by. We, at least, were able to name our capital city before you did. Maybe we would have burned something, but the troops didn't know to go to Bytown. > I'm sorry about your beer.

In an ultra-simplified form, region is all-important in all categories, so most of what I snipped was about the differences among regions. Riel....dunno if I want to get into his story. I was grown up before I realized that in some parts of the country he was considered a hero and martyr rather than a traitor and murderer. I adjusted to that idea fairly easily because I was used to politics in which the same person is put into two such different categories by different people. Riel led the Riel Rebellion, which broke out over conflicting land claims by the Metis (descended from French and Native people) and the federal government. He was hanged for his part in the Rebellion, and Canadians have been arguing about him ever since. Riel did spend some time in the US, though, so maybe he should be mentioned in a thread about Americans. Maybe he should have stayed in the US, but hey, he was brave as well as a hero, martyr, traitor, possibly mentally ill. etc. SignatureCheryl > In an ultra-simplified form, region is all-important in all categories, > so > most of what I snipped was about the differences among regions. And so it is in the US as well. I have an informal test of the latitude, by asking a local what they call the activities between 1861 and 1865. New England: "The War to Free the Slaves" New York, Pennsylvania, etc. "The Civil War" Genteel parts of Virginia "The Unpleasantness between the States" Deep South: "The War of Yankee Aggression" >> ...As a Western Canadian I cannot defend, understand or lay claim to >> Poutine. The quebecois.... well they've got unique eating habbits. Poutine has escaped from Quebec, if it hasn't yet reached western Canada. No, I don't eat it, since I prefer other heart-attack-inducing foods, but it can be obtained in nearly any establishment that sells deep-fried foods and gravy. Well, not the ones that sell such things *separately* of course, and not the ones that call gravy 'sauce' and take all the fat out of it. > Returning to Western politics, at least the Alliance schism led to > unusual political honesty, until someone in authority noticed the > acronym produced by the name of the new Canadian Conservative Reformed > Alliance Party. I loved that. Where else would a political party announce its new name *before* checking to see if the acronym spelled anything? > Canada is a country of interesting political regions. There are distinct > Western positions. There is the role of Ontario. We can skip over > Quebec. The Maritimes have an ever-increasing comic approach to > politics, culminating with Newfies. Hey, We aren't part of the Maritimes, we're part of the Atlantic Provinces! It's one of those obscure geographic facts, something like the distinction between England and the UK. Only different. And we take politics very seriously here, well, all aspects of politics except ideological differences. I think this confuses westerners, who expect people who call themselves 'Conservatives' to actually hold similar political positions as western Conservatives. And anyway, a lot of us are Liberals, even though our positions on various issues may be all over the political map, and we also make a strong distinction between federal and provincial politics, so being Conservative, or Liberal or NDP or Other provincially doesn't mean you are the same federally. Our politics haven't been nearly as funny since John Crosbie retired. I opposed almost every political position he endorsed, but I respected him a lot, and he was really funny. Not always PC, of course, but funny. > Saskatchewan and Manitoba have the principal political purpose of > keeping the East and West from sliding into one another. I'll mention that to my sister in Manitoba. She says they don't take politics nearly as seriously there as they do here. Maybe that's why. SignatureCheryl > >> ...As a Western Canadian I cannot defend, understand or lay claim to > >> Poutine. The quebecois.... well they've got unique eating habbits. [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > I loved that. Where else would a political party announce its new name > *before* checking to see if the acronym spelled anything? And it's not like that before the split, they didn't have a few spelling problems. Someone didn't proofread a piece of literature, and thousands were printed before it was noticed that the material was promoting the Canadian Appliance Party. A toaster with every vote? I can't say the country to the south is immune, with some of the most notable examples being slogans announced before someone tried to put the acronym on a button: Kennedy Administration: War on Poverty Ford Administration: Stop Inflation Now and, to bring things on topic, Carter Administration: [Inflation] Moral Equivalent Of War > > Canada is a country of interesting political regions. There are > > distinct [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > provincial politics, so being Conservative, or Liberal or NDP or Other > provincially doesn't mean you are the same federally. Oh, of course! I should have been more specific. After all, when at least one province's Liberals aren't, and Progressive Conservative, aside from being an oxymoron, tends to be comprehensible only with the assistance of mind affecting drugs... One of those bits of trivia that stumps most Americans, and more than a few Canadians, is assuming Newfoundland has always been part of (political) Canada. > Our politics haven't been nearly as funny since John Crosbie retired. I > opposed almost every political position he endorsed, but I respected him > a > lot, and he was really funny. Not always PC, of course, but funny. See your problems?

You have to stop and figure out if someone is > Politically Correct, Progressive Conservative, or both, if the latter is > possible. I'd like to say I put that pun in there deliberately, but I'm afraid I can't! Actually, in the true tradition of Canadian politics, John Crosbie was not always a Conservative (Progressive or otherwise), even by our definitions (plural intended here) of the term. He was, at one time, a provincial Liberal until he split with Premier Joey because he (John) was shocked and appalled at Joey's umm, controversial financial policies or because he (also John) wanted and failed to replace the Only Living Father of Confederation as Premier. Either way, Crosbie went on to a great federal career as a Conservative. SignatureCheryl > >> lot, and he was really funny. Not always PC, of course, but funny. > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > Confederation as Premier. Either way, Crosbie went on to a great federal > career as a Conservative. Your description of the true tradition of Canadian politics is very much on topic. Defining individual politicians' behavior, much less organizing a clear party position that is consistent with its name, is the moral equivalent of herding cats. Nay, herding cats is too weak. Having cats march in formation, keeping cadence with all paws and waving tails in synchronized arcs. There is considerable truth to this. The folks in the US have some strange habits which ened to be examined a bit more seriously. We have the strange habit of preserving the environment, refraining from dumping large ammounts of chemicals into the wild. We have a habit of building safety into things, like cars, and baby seats for cars. We do have an unusual belief in having something called "elections" where the citizens choose thier leaders. We even have as many as four or five candidates running for a particular office. And our voting is for a wide assortment of elected offices, from President to Dog Catcher. We are fascinating in our belief that citizens have a God given right to keep and bear arms. Including rifles, shotguns, and pistols. As a result of gun ownership, we have low rates of crime in most areas, except places liek Washington DC and New York city where only the government and criminals are armed. We have a strange belief in religious freedom. Where folks from religions like Muslims can practice freely. Or Catholics. we have a strange belief that the common man is good, responsible,and can make his own decisions. We are also fascinated by gadgets. US folks have made all kinds of things like medical advances, technology, telephone, television, cellular telephones, and other such gadgets. We also do some strange things like sending foreign aid, and exporting large ammounts of grain and other food. Whcih we have grown, in our market based competition driven economy. Yep, we are surely some strange folks. SignatureChristopher A.
