A vignette from last week
Me: Did you know it’s Canada Day? That’s so cute. You get a whole little day for yourselves.
Canadian friend: It sucks. Black people get a whole month.
Me: You’re too polite to take a day in February.
CF: Once you go black you never go back.
Me: Once you go Canadian, you never go gay again?
CF: Ever hear people sometimes call black people “Canadians” as code?
Me: You know, I tend to get along well with black people and I hate and stereotype
Canadians.
CF: Really?
Me:. I realized not long ago I hate everyone I know from Canada.
CF: You’re so racist.
Me: Canadians aren’t a race. They’re just the generic store brand to America’s Coca Cola and Oscar Meyer.
CF: Nice.
Me: I’ll put a boot in their ass. It’s the American way. Or, as the Canadians would say, “I’ll tap you with my loafer, if that’s not too bothersome, eh?”

I kept waiting for the "eh" part. I'm glad I got it.
Ouch! I love all my Canadians! It's beautiful country...I can 'understand' some of your vent though. ;)
I have serious doubts that you actually have a Canadian friend!
SM: Glad I didn't disappoint.
Tracy: No. You're wrong.
Chris: You're right. "Friend" is overstating it.
Ha!
