We deserve this, Canada.
i really don’t mind the canadian jokes (patriotism is the kool-aid of tyrants), but the fact that it gets dark about 4:30 pm dans le nord makes the “canadians are afraid of the dark” lines just inaccurate. i’m guessing there are no can-con writers on HIMYM.
“bad bad boys” by haywire. this is how we rocked it in Canada in 1986.
“your daddy don’t know” by toronto. 1982.
Kim Campbell on the Daily Show! Wow, last i heard, she was the canadian ambassador to Hollywood or something.
just cause you’re a fox, michaelle jean, doesn’t mean you have to endorse the seal hunt.
Michaelle Jean, sans seal blood.
I hate this generation.

Canada history magazine drops double-entendre name
Tue Jan 12, 2010 12:07pm EST
WINNIPEG, Manitoba (Reuters) - Canada’s second-oldest magazine, The Beaver, is changing its name because its unintended sexual connotation has caused the history journal to become snagged in Internet filters and has turned off potential readers.
