    You do realize that's satire, don't you?

          Let's face it, we Americans don't know squat about Canada


          Speak for yourself. I've been named an honorary Canadian, much to my dismay and everlasting shame...

              What Americans Should know aboot Canada, but don't

              1. Hockey is more important to us than baseball is to you. I know, I know, it is hard to believe, but someone else takes their national passtime more seriously than you do. See also Brazil and football, or about 52 other countries and football (that would be the real football, not hand melon).

              1b. We invented hockey, baseball and basketball. We are happy that you are happy with our rejected hand-me-downs.

              2. We have the correct pronunciation, of everything. It is about and zed, not abut and zee. Get it straight and then you may progress.

              2b. Your spelling sucks. You really need more 'u's. No language can be healthy without the recommended ration of 'u's.

                I don't understand your current politics at all. That might be a starting place for me.

                  The pinnacle of our politics is to better define the middle of the road than any of your opponents.

                    Liberals center-left, Conservatives center-right, with the NDP and the Bloc Quebecois on the left.

                    My understanding is that the Conservatives don't have a prayer in hell of forming a government in the near future.

                        Liberals are centre period. They have just about as many enemies to the left as they do to the right (based on percentage of popular vote)

                        Conservatives range from centre right (nye) to insane (half the conservative caucus).

                        BQ is leftish but more importantly is the biggest whiner in Parliament.

                        NDP are good people.

                          Liberals -- centrist, corrupt fat-cats
                          NDP -- socialists
                          Conservatives -- "conservative", right-of-center...don't ask them to take a firm stand on anything, the pussies
                          Bloc -- Quebec separatists
                          Everyone else -- negligable

                          We have a minority government right now, which means the largest party doesn't have a majority. They need to get votes from other parties to pass anything.

                                Your understanding would be incorrect.

                                In an election that was widely seen as a rejection of the Tories, they are not far from a plurality if not a majority.
