The loonie is still the best Canadian coin. And very apt for Canadians.
Drill a hole through it and it makes a great washer.

That is not nice..
I respect the Canadians.
They have shared a border with us for over 200 years.
They are a good neighbor.
Imagine if it was Iran at our northern border.

Wah
So.........Shuster, Canadian only by birth, now a resident for 10 years of the USA creates said super hero comic in the USA? That would make it.............anyone........anyone...........that's right, American.
And it means another Canadian defects to a greater country as do all the great Canadian expats.

They still share it with us because or strength as a nation, especially militarily, has made it so they don't have to speak Russian.

Canadian editorial humor directed at US
This is Canada's Top Ten List of America's Stupidity... Canada's
version of David Letterman's "Top 10"
10. Only in America ... Could politicians talk about the greed of the
rich at a $35,000.00 a plate campaign fund-raising event.
9. Only in America ... Could people claim that the government still
discriminates against black Americans when they have a black
President, a black Attorney General and roughly 20% of the federal
workforce is black while only 14% of the population is black. 40+% of
all federal entitlements goes to black Americans – 3X the rate that go
to whites, 5X the rate that go to Hispanics!
8. Only in America ... Could they have had the two people most
responsible for our tax code, Timothy Geithner (the head of the
Treasury Department) and Charles Rangel (who once ran the Ways and
Means Committee), BOTH turn out to be tax cheats who are in favor of
higher taxes.
7. Only in America ... Can they have terrorists kill people in the
name of Allah and have the media primarily react by fretting that
Muslims might be harmed by the backlash.
6. Only in America ... Would they make people who want to legally
become American citizens wait for years in their home countries and
pay tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege, while they discuss
letting anyone who sneaks into the country illegally just 'magically'
become American citizens.
5. Only in America ... Could the people who believe in balancing the
budget and sticking by the country's Constitution be thought of as
"extremists."
4. Only in America ... Could you need to present a driver's license to
cash a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote.
3. Only in America ... Could people demand the government investigate
whether oil companies are gouging the public because the price of gas
went up when the return on equity invested in a major U.S. Oil company
(Marathon Oil) is less than half of a company making tennis shoes
(Nike).
2. Only in America ... Could the government collect more tax dollars
from the people than any nation in recorded history, still spend a
Trillion dollars more than it has per year - for total spending of
$7Million PER MINUTE, and complain that it doesn't have nearly enough
money.
1. Only in America ... Could the rich people - who pay 86% of all
income taxes - be accused of not paying their "fair share" by people
who don't pay any income taxes at all.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that
we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only
unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American
public."

Really? Couldn’t find an American company to implement the American health care system?
Via Washington Examiner:
Via Washington Examiner:
A Canadian tech firm that has provided service to that country’s single-payer health care system is behind the glitch-ridden United States national health care exchange site healthcare.gov.
GCI Federal is a subsidiary of Montreal-based CGI Group. With offices in Fairfax, Va., the subsidiary has been a darling of the Obama administration, which since 2009 has bestowed it with $1.4 billion in federal contracts, according to USAspending.gov.
The “CGI” in the parent company’s name stands for “Conseillers en Gestion et Informatique” in French, which roughly translates to “Information Systems and Management Consultants.” However, the firm offers another translation: “Consultants to Government and Industry.”
The company is deeply embedded in Canada’s single-payer system. GCI has provided IT services to the Canadian Ministries of Health in Alberta, British Columbia, New Brunswick, Quebec and Saskatchewan, as well as to the national health provider, Health Canada, according to GCI Group’s Canadian website.
