Canadian rednecks (yes, we have a few), would not say:

"Shania rhymes with mania"

"Could I have another of those tasty American beers, Innkeeper?"

"If they put a few sharks into the pool, then synchronized swimming would be a sport."

"While we are pretty good hockey players, I think the Russians have over time shown that they really understand the game"

"I do remember Mr. Tim Horton, but what connection is there between him and doughnuts?"

"One nice thing -- among many -- about Toronto is the way in which gay couples can walk hand in hand without anyone making much of a fuss."

"We are far too influenced by American culture. Why, my own daughter believes that Xena actually occupies a place in the Greek mythological pantheon alongside Athena and Hera!"
