Coworker 1: "Canada really bugs me."

Coworker 2: "C'mon now. Nickelback is from Canada."

Coworker 1: "In that case, I think drone strikes are in order."

Hahahahaha that's awesome. I am a very, very proud Canadian but the fact that we produced Nickelback and Justin Bieber greatly saddens me:(

And truth be told, if America were to be held responsible for every cultural atrocity we inflicted on the world, it would make the Canada drone strikes look like a picnic.

I mean, the justified carnage from Brittney Spears alone would result in RIVERS of blood...

Seriously. I think he is a singer, but I have never heard him sing.

Hahaha yeah he's a pop singer. Don't get me wrong, the kid can hit a note, but with songs like "One Less Lonely Girl", "Baby" and "Boyfriend" we Canadians try and pretend like he doesn't exist...we like to showcase our true stars like Mike Meyers, Jim Carrey, Sidney Crosby and Celine Dion! (Okay Celine's a little crazy but she's got pipes!)

I'm sensing you don't have any teenage daughters.

He's just the latest teeny-bopper fad. He has a good voice although it is rather high pitched - he's been big for a few years so he's probably on the tail end of his popularity. One interesting thing about him is that he entered some singing contest, go second, posted it on youtube and then got "discovered" from his youtube video.

... and writing his first school book report, it was on a book about Canada.

He said "Canadians are a lot like us, but smarter. When they wanted independence they just asked nice and made a deal. Nobody got shot."

Grades 9, 10 & 11 (as they put it).

As an American, I heard no end to the bragging about how Canada became independent without bloodshed. Everyone knew I was a "Yank" and they kept their distance in a lot of ways.

They also picked at me non-stop about Vietnam, racial unrest and our stupid political system.

The only thing I could say in reply was, "Why do 99% of you live so close to the US border?"

Bieber is a delight compared to those viscious HS friends of mine.

It was a tough time to be a HS student, gay, American & Mormon. I never felt so alone.

I guess I'm an old hippie but when I think of Canada I think of Joni Mitchell and Neil Young.

I've never heard Nickelback and Leave it to Bieber reminds me way too much of Donny Osmond.
