Back in World History in high school one of the projects we had to do was a Model United Nations conference. We chose countries at random and had to discuss different world issues using the point of view of our selected country. I got Canada for my country. My partner and I had no idea where to begin with our policies and agendas. This was before the days of Internet.
Countries like Iraq were easy. Just hold up a calculator and threaten to press the button to launch a missile. So we did what any students would do in our situation. We just decided not to say much, and when we were required to speak, just agree with everything America said or did. It worked like a charm.

As a Canadian I feel I fundamentally have to hate this. But really, I can’t because it’s pretty much true. We’re all just “come have some beer and watch hockey eh?”
Best political policies ever. Mandatory beer and hockey.
