Rick Mercer: Talking To Americans

[fiodejaneiro]

George Bush: "Canada is our most importan neighbour in the North". Canada is the ONLY country north of USA

[bfoaliali]

Canada is an irrelevant country to the world. It really is. America means something to the world, therefore, wherever you go, people know about Washington DC, who the president is, and so forth. Ask the same people about Canada—silence. Because, Canada means nothing, it just doesn’t.

[MasterGamerZs]

@bfoaliali that "something" isn't always positive though

[edmontonoilers46]

@bfoaliali i wouldn't call Canada irrelevant, i don't know where the US would be without Canada, after all, we ship a huge amount of Lumber, Fresh Water, Oil, Grain into the US each year, simply put, you couldn't sustain yourself without our resources. i'm curious, what are relevant countries in your eyes. what did they do to be relevant?

[ThePantyDroper]

@bfoaliali Irrelevant? Are you fucking stupid? Do you realize how much resources Canada provides to the rest of the world? The house you live in was most likely made from lumber shipped from Canada.

[bfoaliali]

@ThePantyDroper Well, I live in Canada-- sadly--, so it most probably was.

[patioperson]

Things are looking up. The very young Americans seem to be much smarter than the older Yanks.

Mike Huckabee is about as smart as most Yanks get when it comes to geography.

If Mike is still in his office, then you Americans are to be pitied.

No Toronto is not the capital of Canada. Ever heard of Ottawa.

Oh you dumb Yanks!!!

[INbredMonarchy]

@patioperson Yes, we've heard of Ottawa, we just don't give a shit. 

[DecendKnightsofmalta]

the kid thats yells HANG ON!!! CANADA has Provinces!!! is AWESOME!!!!!!!!

[Stmarie192]

I feel srry for the americans that arent this fucking stupid hahaha!!

[at2at]

Congratulation Canada on becoming part of North America...Are you joking me??? That's pathetic :)

[TheKevan1978]

How delightfully ignorant! Absolutely hilarious.  Love it!

[aremz14]

Alaska is closer to Canada then it is to the states! ;)

[Librannica]

There's stupid people in every country. I'm an American, and this video is ridiculous. It prints the image that ALL Americans are stupid, which is untrue. There are very intelligent people here, thank you.

ALASKA-BORN AND RAISED :)

[theromashka1]

@Librannica I agree! I met numerous intelligent americans, besides some people are afraid of camera and don't have the chance to think about the question.

[edmontonoilers46]

@Librannica too true, but it's still fun to laugh at the stupid ones

[Darusdei]

@Librannica don't fool yourself... most people are dumb...

[bartmatton]

@Librannica I am canadian and i laughed my ass off watching an american show interviewing canadians

[SisterUchiha]

@Librannica i think the messages being most strongly posted is that americans are usualy educated about their own country before ellse where. when ever the ppl were asked something about their country, they were able to answer right away obviously stating that none of them were stupid.

[MrLadyjack]

@Librannica get over yourself...it's a joke...

[Librannica]

@MrLadyjack

That has the all-to-real potential to actually have people take it seriously. Get over myself? I think I value myself as anyone else does, thank you.

[MrLadyjack]

@Librannica paranoid or what...?!

[Librannica]

@MrLadyjack

I wouldn't say paranoid. I have a lot of friends who are foreign exchange, and they all shared with me how a lot of people from their country bought into the "all Americans are stupid" stereotype.

[gmanw3]

Rick Mercer for Prime Minister..he has my vote

[Nilephan666]

I love how you guys base this for all Americans...it's quite ignorant of you.

Be that as it may, Canada gave us Rush, so for that i cannot hate you.

[Qgoalie34]

hahaha love how the kid is smarter than everyone else!

[Mozzacheese]

this is very funny but it almost seems scripted... :(

[sensstar15]

Ha my class was watching this and making fun of Americans, then they sat figuring out how many provinces and territories we had, and they decided on 9; 7 provinces and 2 territories. So I say Americans are super ignorant, but so are many Canadians!

[Freepepsi42]

@sensstar15 almost everybody sucks balls at geography i'm was in a ib class a person takeing it did not know where ontario was on a map and what was the capital was. we live in ontario and toronto

[trickettgraham]

"Congradulations Canada on preserving your national igloo."

...HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That just made my week. :D

[Freepepsi42]

alot of ppl are idiots when it comes to geoagraphy some person in my geo class does'nt know where ontario is on a map and does not know what the capital of ontario is we both live in toronto and she is taking academic geo

[alyssasetsfire]

Hahahaha. Ignorant Americans..

[Nervescheme]

I like it when people bust on other people's mis-spellings. Suk my dic. You get that one don't you?

[RandomAnimationsInc]

wow, I lost all shreads of respect for americans-- LIKE if ur canadian!

[mefornow]

@RandomAnimationsInc Y'know, if you're going to lose shreds of anything, you should learn how to spell "shreds" first.

[SPENCER8932]

Americans are very stupid and this video proves it

[Silverstarlightt]

OMG HAHAHA I'm dying XDDD Americans are hilarious!

RIck Mercer<3!

[revolvigdoors]

poor quality. But this is HIGHLARIOUS shit!!

i can't believe american's can be so ignorant. i mean we are so much like the states just more liberal. how can they be so stupid?

[BenjaminGoose]

I honestly don't know.

[mefornow]

@revolvigdoors Most of us aren't. There must be something in the water where these people live. Except Huckabee. He was just born dumb.

[WolfenSoul]

zomg. LOL. The little boy was the smartest of the bunch.

"Wait a minute, Canada has provinces!"
