A Truly Canadian Apology to the USA...
Courtesy of Rick Mercer from This Hour Has 22 Minutes, CBC Television:

On behalf of Canadians everywhere I'd like to offer an apology to the 
United 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 doesn't 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 defense I guess our 
excuse would be that our team was much, much, much, much better than yours.

I'm sorry we burnt down your White House during the war of 1812. I 
notice 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 want to have your friends 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 
apologizing 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.
