My favourite Canadian joke comes from Dave Broadfoot:
In America, their celebrities have to wear sunglasses
In Canada, our celebrities have to wear nametags!
Oh come on, after years of Hockey Night in Canada, at least those of us in Detroit are aware of Knowlton Nash.

Getting back to the OP, sort-of, the version I heard was that the ideal NATO army would consist of British officers, German sergeants, Canadian troops and American equipment.
and polish soldiers..
These foreign forces would be that much more terrifying if they were Polish zombies!
How do you get 100 Canadian out of the pool on a hot day?
Say: “Hey, Canadians, get out of the pool”
That wouldn’t be an impossibility: Napoleon sent his Polish Legion to supress the Haitian Revolution. If some of them were bitten by zombies…
…how could you tell the difference? (D&R’s)
Canada is…sorta…there. I mean, it’s kinda like the USA, kinda…but just not the same. Its sorta of “America’s vestibule”.
Thats fine.
Now get over here and suck your bitch’s dick!
Hee hee - it’s funny because it’s true. We’re law-abiding, and proud of it!

“Canada - America’s Ned Flanders!”
You’re darn-diddly tootin’!

That seems a little off. The stereotype of the British army is “lions led by lambs” ie brave enlisted men and professional NCO’s with ineffective upper-class officers. And the German stereotype is they’ve got all those great Field Marshals and such. So shouldn’t the ideal army have German officers and British NCO’s?

I once heard Canada described as 2 weeks of bad skiing.
I like it here, eh, in Canada
Plenty of beer, eh, in Canada
Rivers are clear, eh, in Canada
Don’tcha dare sneer, eh, at Canada
Do you mean the Canadian summer is two weeks of bad skiing? Cause that makes more sense.

I’d always heard that in WWII at least, German officers were generally the best ones around, and that British and American NCOs were(and are) considered excellent.
Why do most Canadians prefer sex in the doggie position?
That way they can both watch Hockey Night in Canada!
Damn, I was coming in here to post the pool joke, only in my punchline you say please.

Actually, it’s “lions led by donkeys”.
"Lions led by donkeys" is a phrase used to imply that a capable group of individuals are incompetently led. Coined in classical antiquity, the phrase was commonly used after World War I to contrast senior commanders who had led armies, most prominently those of the British Armed Forces, with the men they commanded. The historiography of the United Kingdom during the 20th century frequently described the infantry of the British Army as brave soldiers (lions) being sent to their deaths by incompete...
Not that it matters much to your argument–you’d still want to avoid British officers.
