Canadian Thanksgiving Day, Eh?

Today is Thanksgiving Day in Canada. Who knew? (Besides Canadians, of course.) So, in the spirit of the holiday that is not Columbus Day, we should all think of the reasons for which we are grateful for Canada, eh?

My list of reasons to be thankful for Canada:

Canadian Bacon
Quebec. The entire concept is hilarious. I love how they’ve really committed to the joke. I can’t help but think that Quebec is to France as Mexico is to Spain.
The Canadian dollar coin is called a ‘Looney’. Sure, it’s because a Loon is on the backside of the coin, but still.
Tuques
A great method of camouflage for Americans travelling abroad: Wear something with Maple leaf imagery.
And let’s be honest – it’s great to have a neighbor you can make fun of who isn’t scary.

Hey, do you know how a Canadian spells Canada? C eh N eh D eh! :)

Sarcasm is truth, truth sarcasm.

Some Wonderful, Magical Animal

Some people consider cows sacred, and will not eat beef, but I say that if we weren’t supposed to eat cows, they wouldn’t be so damned delicious. But this makes for a puzzle, for if the cow is holy, how can it be damned delicious? It’s like that saying, “It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.” It’s a philosophical turducken!

I Have a Theory

I have a theory that the same people who actually like crunchy peanut butter are likely the same people who mount the toilet paper roll so it pulls from the bottom.

I’m pretty sure.
