So, it seems our good neighbors to the north invited Ann Coulter to speak at University of Ottawa, paid her $10,000 speaking fee, then canceled the whole thing an hour or two before it was to start. ROFL!!!

Quit taking yourselves so seriously! Yeah okay, we get it, you are a foreign country. We have Dunkin Doughnuts and Walmart, you have Tim Horton and Canadian Tire. But your insistence on calling "Ford trucks" by the name "Mercury trucks" makes about as much sense to me as why you would invite an American political satirist to speak in Canada and then blast her for doing what she is paid to do: American political satire.
P.S. I commend you on finally putting pictures of actual Canadians on your money. That whole Queen of England thing always seemed a little weird for a country that claimed independence from the crown.
