Traveling abroad, and not in the mood to fuss with politics in this post-election glow? T-Shirtking.com, a New Mexico-based company, can hook you up with a “Go Canadian” package that will help pass as a Great White Northerner.
“It’s not meant as a slight against the United States or Canada,” explained T-shirtKing.com President Bill Broadbent. “It was meant as something Republicans could give their Democrat friends to say ‘C’est la vie.’ … But maybe not c’est la vie because that’s a French word.”
Actually, that’s three French words. But who’s counting…
I could be persuaded to buy one of these. But only if I can pay for it in Canadian currency (which is actually valued lower than the U.S. greenback — a neat trick at the moment).

Would you guys stop it. Isn’t it enough that you’re pushing us all towards a never-ending holy war without Canadians being at risk when they travel of being mistaken for Yankers.

Wow, that’s amazing. I thought I was the only American who had thought to try and pass as a Canadian among foreign nationals!
Pity I’m not really Canadian. Or British. British would be even better.
