That has to be one of the funniest things I've seen this week.

It's so true about American beer, it's a lot like making love in a canoe, you know.

Long live original Czech Budweiser!

This Hour Has 22 minutes is a satircal show...
Its set up like a news show.
Rick Mercer has done a few things on it called "Talking With Americans".
He goes to various places in the states (usually monuments like Mount Rushmore) and starts telling the locals all this... unlikely (for lack of a better word) stuff. Stuff along the lines of "A Canadian company owns the mining rights to Mount Rushmore. They plan on drilling into the heads to see if there is any uranium in there. The sad thing is people believe him, and they go on about it at great lengths as if they knew about it already...

Canada = Still a British Province back then. British v. Americans, Brits burned down the White House, thus Canada burned down the white house.

I think...

In 1812, all Canadians were Brits. The Brits burt down the White House. Therefore, Canadians burnt down the White House.

Makes about as much sense as All cats are mortal. Socrates was mortal. Therefore, Socrates was a cat.

Wait but horses are mortal too! Could Ronald Regean really be a horse? He's pretty old, and so are horses. Even older than Cats.

It was still called Canada in 1812 therefore the inhabitants were still called Canadians. Many soldiers that fought were Canadian..
Though iirc the British Navy burned it down....

He has enough trouble trying to find the place.

Put him in the Oval office and tell him the exit is in the corner.

They were too by that time.  The Seven Years' War from 1756-1763 ended with the British seizure of Quebec.
