[Mb-civic] A laugh

[Harold Sifton]

A Canadian show called "Talking with Americans" in which a journalist asked prominent Americans certain questions about Canada

To Bush during the re-election campaign, our Prime Minister Poutine endorses your campaign, Bush said that's great, coming from our best friends to the north. 

We do not have a Prime Minister Poutine, our Prime Minister is Paul Martin, poutine is a cheese put on French fries in Quebec. And he did not endorse Bush's campaign, Martian stayed neutral as he should.

This journalist asked the same of the Governor of Michigan and it's Secretary of Trade, whom we do 15.6 million $ of trade every day "Michigan alone". They thought Prime Minister Poutine is doing a great job.........?????

Your heads of state do not know the names of our leaders ?????

The journalist said to Americans, that we in Canada finally have electricity for our homes, and the response incredible, "really, we didn't know they had it", The same journalist asked Americans where Canada was, most thought it was in Europe.

It is incredible how little Americans know about Canada.
