from my daughter
An apology from Rick Mercer, from This Hour Has 22
Minutes, to the USA……
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.
Thank you.
