He could have added that he's sorry that all the most talented comedy writers and half the performing comedians seem to come from Canada.

BTW, just in case someone was confused at first, according to the 22 minutes website that is indeed Colin Mochrie, who can be seen on Who's Line Is It Anyway on ABC and Comedy Central. Usually a hilarious show, if you haven't seen it yet.

This is such a misguided rant. I, like MOST Americans, adore Canada and all Canadians. Hell, i was rooting for their Olympic team(The US has done nothing but try to ruin the sport), and besides, last time i checked the booing of national anthem was happening in both countries. If he has a problem with the US, it is with the large companies and political institutions - and we ALL have a problem with those.
Why generalize and attack US citizens? So stupid.

Urban Legend Alert! Oh boy am I sick of that old canard about canucks burning the White House in the War of 1812. FYI, it was burned by Royal Marines, a 100% British batttalion.

I just like the way Canadians say the word "sorry." Sore-y.

What you said, Jim! SORE-y.

hornsofthedevil, its not a rant, it's a joke. He doesn't really mean it. He's trying to be funny. He says funny stuff for a living. Juxtaposing Canadians' penchant for being very polite and apologizing at the drop of a hat and Americans' penchant for being easily offended is funny.
