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 wanna 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.
Thank you,

Gee Rick that is fine.
I remember an American histroy lesson on a group of Americans that defeat the entire Army of Canda and UK in battle of Ottawa. Under manned and out thought you. Then walked thru the halls of your Gov't signing Star and Stripes.
But let us get serious here....and us talk Hockey....yes, that Canadaian sport. Seems to me that Hockey Town USA (Detroit, MI) has just a stack of Cups.....hmm when was the last one north of the border. I am sure you can remember. when was the last time for a Canadan baseball team? basketball team? Getting dry old fellow. But you guys like that Canadian dry.
Yes. we stayed out of your little adventure with Hitler early in the war.
But also I read of flocks of Americans that came accross the border to enlist into the RAF and help you out those first few years. Just have not seen to many Canadain flooding to the State post 9/11 to the do the same.
Yes, you guys have gotten into this. And we are thank ful. And thank ful to the others that have well. One was my dad that went accross the border to enlist in the RAF by the way. When he heard he was going to have to reject his US citizenship to do so on a new law passed. He passed on it. Most of us would as well. We might like you, but we are not going to give our country for you.
As for the softwood lumber. Well we still have many trees and forests in south of the border. We just don't get lost in them, we enjoy their natural habitat, and don't have to cut them for fire wood in the winter. But then most of the United State is a balmy 50 in the winter time. What is that in most of Canada....10? brrrrrr Great for out door skating rinks.
I guess that brings us to GW. President George Bush is the sitting President of the last World Super Powers. No one has ever even mention Canada in the same breath with Super Power unless it was connected to the United States. Think about it some, Rick.
Apology accepted. Enjoy the day.
