I was born in 1962. For all my life it was Canadians pursuing american culture. It was cool. It was mythic. It was something we didn't have here at home. It's not like that anymore though.
They hate us cause they anus.
I thought they were scrotus though?
My new Mad Max-inspired character: SCROTUS ANUS!
Well yah.

I didn't know Pamela Anderson was Canadian. Good to know I was a horny and patriotic teen.
Fuckit now I am.
As a Canadian, I didn't know half of them were Canadians! We really need to be more outwardly patriotic
How could you forget William Shatner (Montreal, Quebec) days before the 60th anniversary of Star Trek? For shame...
