ONLY IN CANA-DUH!

Canadians have the unique ability to laugh at themselves. Mainly because no one else bothers to laugh at us. Here's why we laugh.

All of these are true.

Only In Cana-Duh . . .
. . . can a high school drop out become a Provincial Minister of Education.

Only In Cana-Duh . . .
. . . the only would-be assassin of a Prime Minister, in recent memory, was a guy with a jack-knife. What's worse, they assailant was held at bay by his wife!

Only In Cana-Duh . . .
. . . will a guy hijack -- a bus.

Only In Cana-Duh . . .
. . . does the Gage Canadian Dictionary have the word "eh".

Only In Cana-Duh . . .
. . . can another country display our national flag upside down, on nation- wide television, and instead of it becoming an international incident, it gets turned into a joke t-shirt that says, "This way up, eh."

Only In Cana-Duh . . .
. . . can a minor official in a provincial fisheries ministry openly challenge the United States of America (the world's last remaining super power) by drawing a figurative line in the sand by saying, "You want our salmon? Come get them, if you're man enough."

Only In Cana-Duh . . .
. . . will the government remove the word "Armed" out of the Canadian Armed Forces because it sounds too militaristic.

Only In Cana-Duh . . .
. . . will people pay allegiance to a Queen they don't even know, because it's better than liking the guy THEY voted for.

Only In Cana-Duh . . .
. . . would a guy take the Federal Government to court for not living up to campaign promises.

Only In Cana-Duh . . .
. . . would the Supreme Court of Canada rule that politicians are not responsible for the promises they make in an effort to get elected. (Thereby, in effect, officially entering into law, that all politicians are liars.)

Only In Cana-Duh . . .
. . . would the Federal Government withdraw paper one dollar bills from circulation, and destroy them, in an effort to make the public use the new one dollar coin, despite the public outcry.

Only In Cana-Duh . . .
. . . would they call the coin, the "loonie".

Only In Cana-Duh . . .
. . . after learning from their mistakes and hearing the public outcry about the one dollar coin, the Federal Government does the same thing with the two dollar bill.

Only In Cana-Duh . . .
. . . would the unoriginal name of "toonie" be given to the two dollar coin. (Because, logically, it rhymes with "loonie".)

Only In Cana-Duh . . .
. . . would the money have the faces of famous politicians (like the Americans do) but no one knows who the hell they are.

Only In Cana-Duh . . .
. . . would the father of our country be a gin-swilling drunkard. And we're proud of that.

Only In Cana-Duh . . .
. . . does someone have to make a name for themselves in the US to be noticed by Canadians. Despite the fact that their achievements in Canada were no better, or were exactly the same achievements as those in the States.

Only In Cana-Duh . . .
. . . can people actually forget all of this nonsense and have the balls to make fun of Americans.
