20 Sep 12 - 10:22 AM (#3407718) Subject: RE: BS: Canada for President From: Little Hawk Well, it is kind of hard to stay cheerful or see the funny side of things when you're living under a corrupt, corporate-military-banking oligarchy intent on robbing and deceiving its own people and conquering the world. |

20 Sep 12 - 11:00 AM (#3407741) Subject: RE: BS: Canada for President From: Jack the Sailor 6, I'm playing with ya. Humor = what Americans find funny. Humour = what Commonwealth people find funny. Obviously there is no overlap. If there was, the US entertainment industry would be overrun by Canucks and Brits and people like Jim Carey and Ricky Grevais would be making movies and tv shows here. |

20 Sep 12 - 11:13 AM (#3407744) Subject: RE: BS: Canada for President From: Amos Very droll. A little absurdity goes a long way, though. Is Canada a natural born citizen? Wasn't it born in England? |

20 Sep 12 - 12:42 PM (#3407779) Subject: RE: BS: Canada for President From: meself I watched for about a minute, but, as a Canadian, found it too embarrassing to continue. Sorry; I know humour is subjective, and all that .... |

Imagine how Americans must feel about having Romney and Ryan as potential leaders of their country ... now that would be very embarrassing. but then again yes, humour/humor is very subjective and all that ... sometimes people must lighten up a little ... then maybe, just maybe they will begin see the light biLL |

20 Sep 12 - 02:50 PM (#3407825) Subject: RE: BS: Canada for President From: gnu Link above... "As is prevalent in other countries, humour at the expense of regional and ethnic stereotypes is also found in Canada. Obvious examples are 'Newfie' jokes..." I never met a Newf that was a joke. |

20 Sep 12 - 04:18 PM (#3407866) Subject: RE: BS: Canada for President From: Jack the Sailor To be serious for a second, "Canada For President." Is funny for about the time it takes to read it and for that to sink in. Say.... 7 seconds. That BBC piece was 3 minutes 2 seconds or about 2 minutes and 55 seconds too long. |

20 Sep 12 - 06:15 PM (#3407926) Subject: RE: BS: Canada for President From: Ed T Prince Edward Island (PEI),more specifically Charlottetown, claims to be "the birthplace of Canada" because a "founding meeting' was held there. - if you are a Canadian "birther". More specifically, this "birthing" conference was held in a meeting room, in the building shown in the link below. Oddly as it seems, even though it claims to be the birthplace, PEI did not join Canada until three or four years after this "birthing conference. At the time, PEI was undecided, as The United States had also been making overtures to PEI to join the republic and had dispatch informal delegates to promote this option. Canada's birthplace |
