REASONS

TO FEAR CANADA.

BY SEAN CARMAN

- - - -

Ninety percent of population is massed within 100 miles of northern American border.

Seems not to mind that one of its provinces has turned almost entirely French.

Excessive politeness only makes sense as cover for something truly sinister. But what?

Citizens seem strangely impervious to cold.

Decriminalization of marijuana and acceptance of gay marriage without corresponding collapse of social institutions indicate Canada may, in fact, be indestructible.

Has infiltrated entertainment industry with singers, actors, and comedians practically indistinguishable from their American counterparts.

Consistently stays just below cultural radar yet never quite disappears.

Parliamentary government and common-law judiciary appear to function acceptably yet remain completely inscrutable.

Never had a "disco phase."

Seemingly endless supply of timber, donuts, and Scotch-plaid hats with earflaps.

Keeps insisting it "has no designs on America" and "only wants peace."

Plays a mean game of pond hockey.

Uhhh.... it always was French.

Never had a "disco phase."

Totally not true! My first husband and I went to the disco all the time!

Yea remember that dance party show they'd show on much more music sometimes?? It was hilarious! Proof that Canada had a disco phase.

Retro boogie dance party! That's what it was called.

Electric Circus - Monika Deol (sp?) and Lance Chilton were my favs and that weird girl Ziggy

Electric Circus was hilarious.

Remember Erica Ehm? I hated her. She was sooo ditzy.

OMG, I couldn't STAND Erica Ehm!!!!! I remember one time where she was interviewing a fireman and she was asking the most moronic questions I had ever heard. The guy was looking at her like.... #######?

Speaking of disco, I'm ashamed to admit this, but the first album I ever bought with my allowance money was K-Tel's 1976 "Hit Parade"---and the song I bought it for was "Disco Duck." True, I was only 10 years old---do you think that is a good enough excuse? The suckiosity of New Kids on the Block and the Spice Girls actually kind of pails in comparison.
