Then we're still ahead. Careful, or we'll piss in your water.

I'm serious. If you don't stop courting the PQ, we'll have no recourse but to separate THEIR ass and take back the water resources that will eventually feed the eastern seaboard of the US... the largest civil engineering project the world has ever seen is underway and has been for a lot of years. You may have seen it in Ahhnold's movie where the german guy steals a whack of gold and transports it through the water supply tunnels. This system will eventually be fed from northern Quebec... er, Old Quebec.

Boy, we've been insulted by the best, it seems.

Hey, gnu, if it's any consolation, you don't seem like an arrogant asshole at all, and I'm willing to disbelieve what I was told simply on your evidence!

Yes, Alex, you were told wrong.

Rick: I guess I am stupid, because I find your post most confusing. When you say watch your show "here" do you mean in your country (whatever that may be)?

When you say "9, 9:30" do you mean 9 or 9:30? Is that your time? If so, what zone are you broadcasting from?

And what is CBC-TV? I haven't had a TV in my home since 1958, so I am not hep to the jive re TV. (If you hang around folkies much, you will find that not bothering with TV is quite common.)

Well, gotta run. It's too nice a day to waste on people like you.

Nothing like stirring up cross-border rivalries. Maybe he's trying to start a war? Not sure what that would accomplish, though. If I recall, the last war between us (The Pig War, mid 1800s, between Washington and B.C.) ended it something of a draw.

Dear Rick Mercer :

I have enjoyed much of your work, especially at 22 Minutes. However, I find your 22 Minutes' segments entitled "Talking To Americans" not only childish and distasteful, but, more often than not, obviously contrived and poorly edited. You would be wise to drop this... this... ok, I'll say it, utter fucking nonsense which alienates not just the Yanks, but any and all Canadians with two clues.

I must add, though, on the other side of the coin, the segment with Bush during the campaign was priceless because it was not contrived nor childish, but, rather, showed how ignorant the new president really is.

Maybe we could do a show entitled, "Talking to Rick's Newfie Buddies" ? Give 'er up, bye - she's just nare funny !

All Americans are stupid jerks and all Canadians are arrogant assholes, I've been told. Don't tell me I was told wrong?

Well, mate, those of us who live over here are quite aware that there are stupid people among us. Do you have some special reason for thinking this is an inherent aspect of our national character, as distinguished from being an attribute of any human population greater than 1 (or perhaps you haven't experienced any)? Or are you just being a smartass jerkoff whose mouth is bigger than his brain?

Regards,

A
