A friend forwarded this to me today, just thought I'd pass it along... there's a lot of truth in most of it (I guess that's why I found it pretty funny), us Canadians can be way too nice, friendly and apologetic!
I also thought that it was kind of funny because just yesterday I left a comment of at Momfo regarding some Canadians views on American and how a lot of people in the US think we live in igloos, dog sled to work, use whale blubber as our main fuel source and eat the caibou meat that we make our boots from... okay, not quite what I said, but you get the point. And if you missed the point, I am trying to say that a lot of Americans don't know much about Canada.
Most people who read this were probably thinking WFT??? Yeah, it was way off topic, but whatever.
Anyhow, here's the content of the email... hope you enjoy it

There you go, a little humour (or humor, for all you Yankee's), I laughed... but I'm a polite Canadian, so I didn't really have a choice!
