Americans and Canadians: BFF's

So, I've been thinking about all of this animosity between Americans and Canadians. I'm just wondering, "Why we can't get along?"  I mean we are neighbors.

(Okay, so I just made that up.  Hey, you got to do what you got to go to get blog traffic!)

But I have been thinking about how Americans and Canadians are quite similar. In fact, I think Americans and Canadians could be BFF's.

• Americans use the word 'huh'. Canadians use the word 'eh'. For instance, an American would say, "Pretty cool, huh?"  A Canadian would say, "Pretty cool, eh?" Both are pretty much the exact same thing! I mean they are both English. Semantics, folks.

• Americans say "Bah-rette".  Canadians say "Bar-ette".  Toe-May-Toe, Toe-Mah-Toe. Bah-rette, Bar-ette.  It's the same hair accessory, people!

• Americans are amused with our ridiculous politics.  Canadians are amused with our ridiculous politics. Okay, I guess to be fair, Americans are more irritated than amused with U.S. politics. Meh. Close enough for government work! (Get it?! 'Cause I was talking about politics then said 'close enough for government work'?! Oooookay. *Ahem*. Moving on...)

• Americans are baffled by our healthcare. Canadians are baffled by our healthcare. No matter where you are on the political spectrum, you have to admit our healthcare system needs a face lift. I mean you can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig. (Two for two! I am 'en fuego' with the jokes. At least I am in my head...)

• Americans hate Caillou.  Canadians hate Caillou.  Folks, if this isn't the uniting factor, then I don't know what is. Who actually likes this little, whiny, irritating, sniveling cartoon character? (The only character that is more annoying is 'Angelina Ballerina'. DO NOT get me started!)

There you have it!  We have tons of similarities.  Plus, we are neighbors!  

I rest my case for Americans and Canadians: BFF's.
