Hey Kim This One's For You!!
Got this in an email, it's funny becasue it's true.
My name is Norm, and I am Canadian. I am a minority in Oakville, Toronto, and every casino in this country. I was born in 1965, yet I am responsible for some FIRST NATIONS PEOPLEBEING SCREWED OUT OF THEIR LAND IN the 1700's. I pay import tax on cars and booze made in Ontario. I am allowed to skydive and smoke (outside only), but not allowed to drivewithout a seat belt. All the money I make up until mid July must go to paying taxes. I live and work among people who believe Americans are ignorant. These samepeople cannot name this country's new territory. Although I am sometimes forced to live on Kraft dinner and don't have apot to piss in, I sleep well knowing that my taxes helped purchase a nicesix figure home in Vancouver for some unskilled refugee. Although they are unpatriotic and constantly try to separate, Quebec still provides my nation's prime ministers. 95% of my nation's international conflicts are over fish. I'm supposed to call black people African Canadians, although I'm sure noneof them have ever been to Africa, or east of Halifax for that matter. I believe that paying a 200% tax on alcohol is fair. I believe that the same tax on gasoline is also fair. Even if I have no idea what happened to that old rifle my grandfather gaveme when I was 14, I will be considered a criminal if I don't register it. My fellow countrymen often badmouth the United States and then vacation there three times a year. I believe spending $15 billion to promote the French language in the restof Canada is fair when the province of Quebec doesn't support or recognizethe English language. I'm led to believe that some lazy ass unionized broom pusher who makes $30 an hour is underpaid and therefore must go on strike, but paying $10 an hour to someone who works 12 hour shifts at forty below on an oil rig is fair. I believe that paying $30 million for 3 Stripes ("The Voice of Firepainting in Ottawa) by the National Art Gallery was a good purchase, eventhough 99% of this country didn't want it or will ever see it. When I look at my pay stub and realize that I take home a third of what I actually make, I say "Oh well, at least we have better health care than theAmericans. "I must bail out farmers when their crops are too wet or too dry because I control the rain. My national anthem has versions in both official languages and I don't knoweither of them. Canada is the highest taxed nation in North America, the biggest military buffer for the United States, and the number one destination for fleeing terrorists. I am not an angry white male. I am an angry taxpayer who is broke. My name is Norm, and I am Canadian.
