Canada to Esquire: F*ck you!

Another American article, looking down its nose at Canada for being so uppity.

So, in the mindset of the hack writer of said piece (a certain Ken Kurson), because we didn't suffer as much in the recession we should be described using words such as: second-rate, sleepy, boring molasses, boring (again), and sleepy (again).

A couple of years ago, something went wrong. Our neighbors to the north became discontent with Tim Hortons, Doug Henning, Justin Bieber, and Jason Bay being their primary contributions to higher culture. All of a sudden, they wanted to beat us at capitalism, too. Today, five dollars U. S. buys five dollars CAN.
