maybe we are insulted because Americans cannot properly insult us to our faces, they need cartoon characters and sock puppets to do thier dirty work.
 
 someone should have pulled Conans jacket over his head and beat him silly, Tie Domi style!

Rumsfeld: "We need regime change north of the border. We beleive Osama is hiding in the Rockies"  Canada sets its small rusty war ships upon the oceans, a few battle canoes upon the great lakes. Trusty Sea King helicopters buzz along the border. They're ready!

  Blame Ca-nadaaaa....
 In Atlantic Canada, politics is a way of life.
 In Quebec, it's a religion.
 In Ontario, it's a business.
 In the prairies, it's a cause.
 And in BC, it's entertainment.

 I Wish I Was Back In Old Canada
 
 [There are 3 characters abord the SOL: Mike Nelson, Tom Servo, Crow T. Robot. Skit starts with Mike and Crew on stage]
 
 Mike (telling a joke): ...and the drunk guy says, "I can't help being an idiot, I'm Canadian!"
 
 Crow (Laughs): You're right, they're so pathetic, Mike!
 
 (Whistle blows, Tom comes in wearing Mountie uniform)
 
 Tom: Enough! There's been too much Canada-bashing for far too long! I say: no more!
 
 Mike: Don't you mean: "No more, eh"?
 
 Crow (Laughs): Good one, man! They are SO stupid!
 
 Tom: Stop it now! Instead, let us offer our Northern brothers and sisters this song of tribute!
 
 (Music starts)
 
 (Singing)
 Oh, I wish I was back in old Canada,
 A land which I never shall lampoon!
 How I pine for the ice covering Lake Manitoba,
 And the beauty that is Saskatoon!
 
 Mike (spoken): I got one.
 
 (Singing)
 Oh, I wish I was stuck in the hills of Alberta,
 Drinking beer with some big dumb guy trapping fur!
 
 Tom (spoken): Hey!
 
 Mike (singing):
 As he scraped and chiseled all the moose dung off his boots,
 I would learn that he's the Prime Minister!
 
 Tom (spoken): Oh, stop that!
 
 Crow (singing):
 Oh, I wish I was in the land gave us Peter Jennings,
 Alanis Morissette, Mike Myers, too!
 
 Tom (spoken): Yeah!
 
 Crow (singing):
 No, I take that back, I wouldn't go there even if you paid me,
 Oh, Canada, you are a place I must eschew!
 
 Tom (spoken): Now, this is NOT in the spirit I intended!
 
 Mike: Oh, come on, give in! I mean, after all, they gave us Ed the Sock and Rush!
 
 Crow: Yeah, what are you defending? They're such feebs!
 
 Tom: Okay, I'll try!
 
 Mike: All right! Good man!
 
 Tom (singing):
 Oh, I wish I was blowing up Prince Edward Island,
 And going on to bomb Ontario!
 The destruction of Canada and all of its culture,
 Is by far my fav-o-rite scenario!
 
 Mike (spoken): Okay, that's a little strong...
 
 Tom (interrupting, spoken): No, no, you were right, Mike, this is much more fun!
 
 (Singing)
 
 Just where the hell does Canada get off sharing a border
 With countries far superior to it?
 
 Crow (spoken): Yikes!
 
 Tom (singing):
 
 Why, you lousy, stinking, francophonic, bacon-loving bastards,
 Your country's just a giant piece of sh...(Mike leaps on Tom and covers his
 mouth with his hand, while he and Crow shout "Hey! Whoa! Whoa!")
 
 Mike (spoken): I think that's enough. I think we've... Cambot, (Music stops) okay, thanks. All right.
 
 Tom (sobbing): I'm sorry! I have no sense of proportion! I'm a disgrace to my uniform!
 
 Mike: No, no, that's okay, calm down. Mustn't hate! Mustn't hate!
 
 Crow: At least so overtly.
 
 Mike: Exactly, right. Must disguise our hate, just a little. (Commercial sign light goes on) Okay, we'll be right back. (To Tom) It's okay, now, Dudley.
 
 Tom (still sobbing): Pardonez moi! Pardonez moi
