    Don't think too much about it. It's probably just a play on the stereotype that Canadians are polite. If they wanted a more thorough bit, they could have comedically provided the asterisk about their indigenous population, though it's not always necessary.

    I believe he was referring to the score Freedom House gave Canada in 2014 as opposed to China, Cuba, and Saudi Arabia. Canada received a 1.0 and a rating of “free.” I just looked it up out of curiosity. I think it was their records as measured by freedom house rather than history or John’s opinion.

But since Cuba doesn’t have my oil or vital resources that the US needs, the government sees no point in being friendly with them unlike other dictatorships they cozy up with. They say there is a national security issue there because of Cubas close relationship with Russia and their proximity to the US, but I don’t know how much of that is a concern on this day and age.

    Hemingway is famous for assuring F Scoot Fitzgerald that he wasn't personally too small... he was afraid his wife didn't like him cause he was too small... so he showed himself to hemingway, and hemingway said, nothing wrong there! What a pal!!

    How very perfect that the orange man who owned the Miss America Pageant used 45 (million) as it's number to LIE with. 😂

    Look, orange man bad and all but he doesn't/didn't ever own Miss America. As stated in the video he owned Miss USA. We don't need to make up stuff to be mad at him about, lets stick to the real shitty stuff he's done.
