  • inactive, on 08/16/2008, -2/+5Dugg because it references CANADA.

    I. AM. CANADIAN.

    Canada pwns USA in beer and definitely in comedians. The problem with the US is you guys have no sense of humor, we got all the big funnymen. Jim Carrol, Mike Meyers, Jonn Candy (rip)...and i think we have better classic rock stars ie Rush, Neil Young, Tragically Hip, Max Webster,

    Oh and we have Pam Anderson though I'm not sure whether that's a pro or a con.

  • wonkavsn, on 08/16/2008, -0/+1Dude, shut up.
    The Americans "pwn" us in so many other areas.
    Seriously.. it's embarrassing when we say ***** like "OUR BEER IS BETTER AND WE SAY EH!!!!" as though those are areas of real significance.

    And I don't know a single person who actually drinks Molson Canadian.
