Let's summarise this thread, from the time Jimmy leaves the US to the present moment:
Jimmy immigrates to Canada. This leaves him feeling slightly traitorous, although he can at least pacify himself with the knowledge that Canada is barely a sovereign nation, and envies the US greatly.
Jimmy spends the next 5 years finding out that Canadians do not envy the US, and have a slightly different version of the war of 1812.
GW wins the 2001 elections. Canadians are, understandably, tickled pink that Americans would do something that stupid to themselves. Jimmy grows annoyed at what he views as Canada's smug sense of superiority, further fueling his inferiority complex.
GW continues his muddleheaded presidency. Canada pretends not to be home when he calls concerning possible Canadian involvement in Iraq. He's confused by Chrétien's bilingual doublespeak on the answering machine, and leaves a poorly worded message about liking maple syrup. Jimmy is hotly embarrassed when Lloyd Roberts plays the tape on the air the next day. He starts his Tim Horton voodoo doll. Tim, having been dead for 30 years, is none the worse for wear. Jimmy's is infuriated at his own impotence.
GW is reelected. Canadians feel that the joke is wearing a bit thin, and start to feel sorry for their benighted southern neighbours. Jimmy is driven into a frenzy. In his heart he agrees with them, but pride ties a knot in his stomach.
Jimmy wakes up in the morning and decides to peruse CounterPunch as a reliable source of news and views (?)
Jimmy reads an article by an expat (?) American excoriating the US and sucking Canada's dick. Jimmy decides that this is indicative of the average Canadian's ignorance of historical fact and tendency toward jingoism.
Jimmy posts thread lambasting Canadians for being ignorant, chauvinist nationalists.
It is quickly pointed out to him that the author of the article is American, and that the average Canadian is, in fact, well aware of his country's faults.
Jimmy spins off into madness brought on by once more having been pwn3d by a mere Canuck.

But nice attempt at character assasination by the way. I'm glad to see you chose to use your time writing that little story instead of proving any of your points.
But thanks again for offering the Heritage Moment anecdote. You've really contrubuted to this thread.
