Hardly anyone really ever thinks about we Canuckians. It's true. And when they do, the adjectives they tend to use to describe us and our country are the words "nice" and "clean". If Canada was a colour, it would be beige.

You can imagine how depressed that leaves us, eh.

THEN one of our prime minister's aides happened to call the U.S. president a moron last week within hearing range of a journalist and suddenly there was Canada being mentioned on CNN's Crossfire with the words:

Oh Canada. It's big. It's cold. Is it a threat?

Well, my three loyal readers can well imagine our excitement over THAT. We're � we're no longer NICE. We're BIG. We're COLD. We could be a THREAT.

We are positively euphoric.

And, to help the U.S. Commander-In-Chief find us in case, uh, he wants to neutralize that threat, I've prepared a little map because I heard he didn't have the easiest time during his school years.

Oh. Drat. There I go being all helpful and nice again, eh. It's not easy, being Canuckistani.

P.P.S.--If you're doing any of your Christmas shopping at Amazon this year, why not do it through Blue Sphere? Five per cent of what you spend will be donated by Amazon to Blue Sphere, and will be given to the Foster Parents Plan of Canada.

Yep, you get to make a large corporation cough up five per cent of its profits AND at no cost to yourself you get to help some poor kids out. What's not to love about that, eh?

NEWSFLASH! Now you get the chance at Canuckistani Hot Chocolate for getting the word out about Blue Sphere. Whatcha waiting for? Huh? HUH?
