Canadians

Canada needs to be superior to the US on SOMETHING, though. I mean, they've got the whole socialized healthcare thing, and that made them feel good for a while, but the system is starting to fall apart. I hear they have pretty good beer, but it's hard to use that to feel better than a country that allows something like Bud Lite to be possible, nay, profitable. And how embarrassing is it that the US is now starting to kick ass in Hockey, of all things? Miami may not have any natural ice at any point of the year, but dammit, they do Hockey! That's got to be embarrassing. They haven't won since 93, or even been a finalist since 94, but the Dallas Stars won. Beaten by Texans at hockey. And that's not mentioning the utter humilation for the sport of Hockey at the success of the New Jersey Devils, who's gone to finals three times in the last ten years and won twice. Having Jersey defeat you at anything is just...wrong. But having Canada being bitch-slapped by a New Jersey hockey team is funny.

After socialized health care not working perfectly, hockey suckage, and not being able to brag about beer to the infidels and beer heretics south of the border, I suppose having salt and vinegar chips that rock, and that you cannot get in the US is the last leg of self-esteem for the Canuks.

I mean, you can always order them online and have them shipped, right?
