Hi Canada. I'm doing great, thanks for asking.

Got this from Carin's blog and thought it was too good to not post here.

I couldn't pick one favorite, so I picked three.

2) How come so many of your citizens know so little about other places? I’ve met a lot of Americans and only three of them knew that Ottawa was the capital of Canada, and most of them had college degrees.

How come people can only get away with making these kinds of ignorant observations about America and nowhere else? Do people in Mexico know more about Ottawa than Americans? Have you met people from Europe with an abundance of Ottawa knowledge? Maybe you just meet stupid Americans. They do exist, I bet with the same frequency as stupid Canadians. It might be time to switch up your social circle.


6) How come some Americans think these sorts of questions are bad?

It's not that the questions are bad, just that you come off as a pompous....well, it's a family blog, so let's just leave it at 'pompous'. You like feeling some kind of superiority and it shows in your questions. Again, I understand your jealousy and inferiority complex. If I had ended up in Ottawa instead of New York, I might've felt the same.

8) You make more weapons than anyone else in the world. How come America?

Oh Canada. My father used to say to me 'I do things for you that you don't even know I'm doing'. It's exactly like that here. You guys want to exist as if there is no evil in the world, as if even in our lifetime we didn't see the ideology of evil (that would be Communism for those that aren't sure) spread and take over. You want to live like no one will ever hurt you. And you're lucky. You do get to live that way. But you shouldn't forget that your protection is something you never need to think about because your neighbor to the south has got your back.
