Why do Americans take the piss out of Canadians?

[eric shawn listo]

He was on a repeat of The Prince from BelAir, it was too funny, he played himself as a guest on Hilary's show. He and Will and the cousin got high on laughing gas. Brought out alot of his true colours, the way Id think he would really be if he wasnt 'Acting'.

I liked the old version of Star Trek kinda grew up on it!

Who else is out there let see, Jim Carrey! John Candy (may he rest in peace), Dave Moranis, Colin Moccary (sp), Martin Short, Wayne Gretzky, Lorne Green, Michael J Fox, QUEEN!!(I think).

Lots more, but I likely cant remember - too much coffee today! lol

Queen!?

Um, nope, us Brits will continue to claim ownership of them, ta very much.

They are (were) very much British - that's taking into consideration the fact that Freddie Mercury was born in Zanzibar, and was raised and educated in India. They're as British as well, The Queen. Nah, scrap that. She's German.

Noone has mentioned Eugene Levy yet.. He was also on SCTV and is more recently known from his work in the "American Pie" movies.

Anyways, Canada is great, and Amicus is, as always, a dolt.

Myers, in interview, is a wit. He's clearly a very bright guy, and mordant in repartee, if a bit quirky and driven. He said he sees a common thread. Canadian-ness, he says, is like a flavor.

"Like celery."

From Yousuf Karsh to William Gibson to Sue Johanson to the REAL Winnie the Pooh there is quite an interesting List of Canadians in the Wikipedia.

I was discussing this post with the family last night and it was amazing how many others we came up with, my son especialy.

Mostly musicians and sci- fi actors but still he did a great job coming up with ones that my hubby and I wouldnt have thought of.

His teacher is friends with one of the guys from Rush, he actually got his autograph before Christmas. I guess he was a house guest and brought pictures of the band for all the kids in Paul's class, nice guy eh!

So not only famous people, we have things the world couldnt live without, how about Penicillin, developement of insulin, telephone, the Canadian Arm, and a whole lot more!

Myers is brilliant. He can do Jewish humor better than Jewish comedians. Like Mel Brooks, even his toliet humor comes out smart.
