Canadians making fun of Americans? What’s that, eh?
Now, Canada is most popularly known for its friendly, if sparse, populace and its amazing ability to build major cities out of igloos. However, if you dig deep enough, there is some comedy there too. In fact, there’s a great political satire show called ‘This Hour Has 22 Minutes’ that includes an occasional segment called ‘Talking to Americans.’ Basically, the host interviews people ‘down South’ about things like the mayor of Toronto’s insistence on perpetuating the clubbing of Ontario’s seal population to see just how riled up they can get about things that are ludicrously untrue (you might think they pick on the weak, but one of the people horrified by the murder of land-locked seals was, in all honesty, a Harvard graduate student in marine biology). They did a one-hour special once the segment started to take off, and I’ve included the first part here. You can look for the rest on YouTube if you’re interested.
