America, I'm sorry. I think it's best if we don't see each other anymore. It's you, not me.
Quit calling, you're just embarrassing yourself.

We should see other people.
21% of Americans are also functionally illiterate.
54% of American adults can’t read at a grade 6 level.
Damn it. I was hoping you were joking or exaggerating or something. Sixth graders can’t even read that well, not really. There are six years of school (at least) after that!

Fox News is aimed at grade 4 education. Ricky would be a jeeenius rocket appliance designer in Texas.
Some seems an ironic ingrained superior attitude of "I ain't needed more schoolin' , I left school and got a good job selling ammo, ain't nobody going wiv out ammo, so I'm good."
And the other part is one state was paying a teacher 30k salary, in Canada it is double that pay to start and has prescribe raises based on years.
I am an American. I like Canada. Been there many times as a youth and it has a fond place in my memory. Looking forward to taking my kids one day.
That said, I applaud Canadians’ tenacity and commitment in flipping off America on all the bullshit wherever possible.
Keep them elbows up, northern friends. It’s obviously having an impact if the papers have to run stories like this.
We like you, just not your bombs.
Unfortunately, the feeling isn't mutual you hosers.
I could not have said it better
It's too late. You're going to see less of the goose for a long time.
Well, we don't like them.
Talk to us when your dear leader and his thug minions are no longer relevant and maybe we'll see if we can repair this relationship.
We're always going to have to be on guard for thee i'm afraid.
Kay.
Stickers and nice words won't win us back. But perhaps some more S O C I A L I S M could?
No.
If the Americans have a positive view of Carney then he’s doing something wrong.
