Since you asked, sort of, twist my arm, I'll tell you about Talking To Americans. (otherwise I'm in danger of accomplishing something today) Talking to Americans is sort of like Candid Camera--except the camera is right out in the open. CBC-TV has a comedy show called This Hour Has 22 Minutes, one of the segments of which consists of the very yuppie-looking Rick Mercer showing up in various locations in the U.S. with a camera crew and interviewing Americans. What he does that we find hilarious in our infantile way, is he makes up ridiculous assertions about Canada and asks passing Americans to comment on them. Which leads to unsuspecting Yanks looking into the camera and saying things like:
"Congratulations Canada on becoming part of North America!" (when we supposedly officially detached ourselves from the "Arctic Continent")
"Congratulations Quebec on finally giving Irish-Canadians the vote!"
"Congratulations King Jean on your coronation!"
and
"No, I'm against them having a seal hunt in Saskatchewan."
Everything else we talked about was real. They're gonna dig the Minas Basin Canal next summer so Nova Scotia can be an island too, and to hell with the polar bears hibernating in the permafrost...
Yours, aye
