He should be able to poke fun at Americans (Rick M.), heck, Jay Leno does it! And some of us just laugh; others watch in horrified disbelief...I for one do believe in the "dumbing down" of Americans today. Look at who 'we' 'voted' for. Our children are raised at the electronic 'busom' of our society which is controlled by companies who try to sell our children carbonated sugar water, a product so inexpensive to produce that they can buy expensive ad time on TV constantly...American children know less about Canadians than Canadian children know about Canada. We (hubby and I)went to the U. of Waterloo for grad school and know a little about how Canadians view Americans and I can say that most of the people in grad school with us who were Canadian now have major jobs in government and international relations. Can't say that about American aquaintances...
