Stephen Colbert is a parody of pompous, opinionated talk-show pundits. Take what he says with a grain of salt--he's supposed to be that arrogant. The arrogance and stupidity is an act. Don't take it seriously. He's parodying Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, etc.., who often seriously indulge in profiling, skewed logic and prejudice to state their "points". He likely doesn't really mean that about Canada. It's like the French-bashing that went on at the start of the second Iraq War--he's parodying how stupid the prejudices are. Like Borat. Like "Short People". If anyone else takes it at face value, then that's their problem. ;-) :-)

It's all likely recycled MacKenzie Brothers/"Beauty, eh?"/maple leaf/hockey/Mounties/beer n' donuts/lumberjack/cheap public access programming humor anyway. Heard it a milion times. I even lightly tease Gidget about it sometimes myself, and I have certainly no problem with Canada; most of it is jokes about "Newfies". Mostly written by...Canadians! ;)
