Words like "tomorrow" (tomARow vs tomORow) and "borrow" are far more an issue to our two nations. I don't feel we can truly merge into a single Anglo-North-American identity until this issue is resolved, but perhaps it's best we stay independent on this. Like an artificial language barrier that must stay in place in order to maintain our independence.
@Ash78: Hm. Well, I pronounce it "tomORrow", or closer to "too-moh-roh". Now you're in the Deep South, as I recall... Bammy, right? Does that make it "t'marra"?
Or is it "y'all know, that thar day thar thut happens after this hair wun whut we're doin' right now like."
/Sorry, I had to. So many Canadian cheap-shots, it had to be done.
@racerx: But on the other hand, I now know that Alan Cross (who is consistently one of the better parts of 102.1 The Edge) drives a Porsche Cayman, which is moderately cool.
The editor must have cut out her Canadian accent... It should have read:
"When you stop and start, eh, it uses the battery so that just compounds and doing that enough times you just save that much energy and money, eh? I didn't even know that when I bought it, eh? I was, like, do you plug it in, eh? Now ya hooser, I need a beer, eh?"
The "eh?" is like a credit card. If you don't know how to use it properly, you should never be allowed to use it at all, or you're just going to make a giant mess of things.
Which, also like a credit card, means the entire United States should never be allowed to touch it.
It's okay. I have no problem admitting that Americans can be surpassingly stupid with their cars, and often can't figure out how to work them properly.
@pauljones: I was going to argue with that, but I can't. In fairness, I blame the total lack of funding, rather than the men and women in uniform. "Here, have twelve dollars, an old ship, and a bailing bucket. Go be a Navy."
Sadly, Canada doesn't have any more A-list stars, because as soon as they get recognition, they're shipped off to California, where they become Americans with a sense of humour.

@thrillwill: Ah i should ease off, you guys are still imploding ecomomically down there- what's it like to have your house foreclosed and your car repossessed anyway?
I've been laughing so hard for the past few minutes going through the posts that people around my office are starting to wonder what kind of crack I am on.
@driggity: As a bank manager, I can tell you, we're doing just fine, thanks. I've written three new mortgages today. How is that Financiapocalypse doing for you? Hey, has anyone ever considered explaining how to run your economy? Really, you guys should take a seminar or something.
@Matt Hardigree: Well it's good to hear that at least your celebrities can still afford cars. I had someone taking $100k in equity out of his house, and I suggested he buy Detroit. He asked what he'd do with the other $90k.
@pauljones: As an Irish Canadian, I'll agree with that statement, but it's usually because we're laughing at you, not laughing along with you. Because we know, in a couple hours, we'll still be standing, while you'll be too drunk to move, at which point we're going to send you home with Bubba the transvestite from Hamilton.
@engineerd - the comma-free edition: Then he wasn't actually a Canadian, he was just pretending to be one in the hopes it would increase his chances of getting laid.
@Deartháir discusses blown trannies just for Google AdSense: Haha...I'll have to ask him to show me his passport next time I see him. It worked, though. I got laid quite a bit, too. Our apartment was the focal point of much jealousy.
@pauljones: Nah. I've gone drink-for-drink with three big Texan guys several times. The two girls from Seattle were better competition. The Texans even came back for a rematch a few times.
(Eventually, I explained to them, gently, that I don't get hangovers, so I could do that as often as they wanted...)

If you're taking the time out to whine about that, what does that say about how slow your day is today.
In this post, the beauty is not the post topic, but rather the Canadian/American insults flying around like Ninja Turtles on a meth overload.

We probably shouldn't be allowed to touch sports cars then, either. Or cars in general for that matter. :p

"Correct" is a strong word, in this case, coming from a Nation who changed the name of the letter Z (ZED) to fit in their silly ABC song. :P

Don't you have many of your "A-list" Hollywood stars running around in these?
This story appears to be here solely to take shots at Canada, and is therefore stupid.

Taking shots at Canada is like taking shots at Irish people. It's never stupid, and even they laugh.
