Many thanks, **Northern Piper**! You’re the best. So glad to have you and your fellow Canuckistanians to our north. > [@Broomstick](#): > > The Canadians are better neighbors than any country deserves and I’m both happy and proud to share a border with you. Well said. Quite so. > [@Sailboat](#): > > When Robin Williams passed recently, a lot of his quips were shared online. One of them described Canada as “a really nice apartment over a meth lab.” I laughed. ---

The following is courtesy of Aguecheek, who rarely posts any more: "Dear America - I know we’ve had our problems in the past, and we’re _still_ bickering over that whole War of 1812 thing. But anyone who can come up with Cool Ranch Doritos AND Peanut M&Ms is just aces in my book. Aces. Your people, your places, your gregariousness, and Can Do Itiveness, are incredible to behold, and a shining example to the world. You’re pretty kickass, and I like you guys. Bunches. Thanks for hangin’ out. We’ll discuss the whole “whose maple syrup is better” thing later." ---

There’s no country we’d love to annex more, but know deep down that we shouldn’t, and \*probably \* never will. And I mean that in the nicest way possible. ---

Wow, loved it! I’m American but haven’t lived in the US since 1998. That video made me a little misty-eyed. Just for that, I’ll make some pancakes and use REAL maple syrup direct from the great neighbor to the north, CANADA! ---
