Are you one of those people that keeps contemplating moving to Canada every time something awful in America happens, like George W. Bush being president, the Hobby Lobby decision, or the inexplicable continued popularity of The Bachelor ? Us too! Lately, we've been living in a near constant state of rage and despair over the fact that creepy Christian business owners everywhere are going to make sure we can't have birth control because their skygod doesn't like it, which makes us both proud and envious of this Canadian teenager who got her school district
Yes, yes, there is plenty to respect and applaud in our neighbor to the north. (And I&#039;ll be among the first to do so; a fair number of my ancestors - English, French and most significantly, Acadian - came from there.) But it&#039;s not all good. The GWN has it&#039;s share of <a href="http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Je_me_souviens_\(2002_film\)" target="_blank">skeletons in the closet</a> too.
In a country where it&#039;s winter for approximately 10-out-of-12 months, I am guessing that Canadian folks spend a significant amount of time on &quot;indoor recreational activities.&quot; At least minus the abstinence-only BS (which is <a href="http:\/\/www.advocatesforyouth.org\/publications\/1487" target="_blank">well-proven to be completely ineffective</a>) the young-un&#039;s will be prepared to recreate safely.
Attention Amish, Quakers and other America-hating pacifists with since religious aversion towards organized killing: you no longer have to pay the 20 percent (a &quot;conservative&quot; estimate to be sure) of your income taxes that go towards our wonderful War-All-the-Time&reg; government.
Or rather, you no longer have to have your assets seized and incur heavy penalties for not paying that 20 percent.
I think about moving to Uruguay, but my wingnut brother was bitching about moving to Barcelona on the eve of Bam&#039;s winning last time. I reminded him that Spain was an actual socialist country and he got even more pissed off when I suggested he move to Somalia
They&#039;d crucify her!!!1!11
Yes - I believe the slogan is &quot;Recreate - not RE-create&quot;
&quot;Um yeah, that weird bilingual shit, also too.&quot;

We actually do have a hockey course (full credit) at our high school.
If the Conservatives are still in power up here, don&#039;t waste your time.
As a Canadian, it is news to me that it&#039;s not called a Riding in the US...
Nice to see that the Royal Canadian Mounded Police are protecting Sex Ed up in the provinces.
If a Canadian is going to run for prez-nit here, can it be Ms. Dawson and not Senor Cruz? Please? Really, please?
Hockey ed is still mandatory, however.

If this article proves anything, it&#039;s that the world needs more sluts.
And Canadians.
Canada should just nuke us from orbit already. why they haven&#039;t already is a mystery to me.
