Is Canadians smarter than we?

It's hard to say, they have oil and other stuff we want. They have hockey and more donut shops per capita and really good beer, eh. Their money comes in all kinds of colors and it is equal in value to ours. Their football fields have 10 more yards, long and across, and they are smart enough to stop playing in November. And their legislators can question their chief executive on their turf regularly and boot him out right away if he really fucks up. That last line may be why they have newspapers that print stuff like this.
Historians will argue over whether George W. Bush is the worst president the United States has ever endured. But that is not the point. Five years after Bush's ill-starred invasion of Iraq, three years after Hurricane Katrina and seven months into the unravelling of the U.S. financial system, the point is that the 43rd president of the United States – regardless of his ranking in the pantheon – is a unique and unmitigated disaster.
And with advancing global warming, one of these days their snowbirds will leave Miami to the Cubans.

Thanks to Gordon for finding this
