I had no idea of the far reaching power of my blog. Less than 24 hours after I tell President Obama to “think about it”, he’s already reviewing the “Buy American” clause in his stimulus package. Now, I’m not one to toot my own horn, but it seems as though I am one of the most powerful people in the world. I’m practically a super hero. My power? Logic. And I have no weaknesses (except for anything that could inflict physical or emotional harm on me - a list far too numerous for here).

To further my “Go Canada” message, I’d like to take the time to point out what we “Crazy Canucks” are holding over your head,  like a frozen, hockey stick shaped sword of Damocles.

If you think we Canadians could never be so cruel and sadistic as to withhold this things, well….you’re probably right. In fact, my heritage almost forces me to apologize to you for even suggesting such things, but if, IF you pushed us far enough, here are some of the things we might almost consider thinking about having a discussion about forming a focus group that would examine the idea of withholding if people kept being mean to us. Or not. We might just make nasty doodles with stink lines and an arrow that says “you”.

1. Hockey

For the 200 people or so outside of Canada who enjoy hockey, this news would be devestating.

2. Cheap Prescription Drugs

If you want a full scale senior citizen riot, just watch what would happen if shut off the supply to their cheap meds.

3. Maple Syrup

Mmmm. Syrup.

4. Beaver

Get your mind out of the gutter! Yeeesh. Not only is this, uh….majestic rodent our national animal, it…uh….sigh.  No one actually buys beaver really do they? Never mind.

4. Electricity

This is actually a big one. Canada is the world’s largest producer of hydroelectric power and you know where a lot of that energy goes? Here’s a hint - the U.S.

5. Hot, hot women

Pamela Anderson, Shania Twain, Avril Lavigne, Rachel McAdams, Evangeline Lilly, and so many others. Ours, all ours!!
