As you may or may not know, today is Canada appreciation day.
Oh, god, I'm bored already! M'kay, so we've been asked to show you a video from the world canadian bureau.
Start the tape, please.
Hello, I am stephen abootman, president of the world canadian bureau.
Do you ever stop to think how important Canada is to the world? Right now, I would like all students of canadian descent in this school to stand up.
Just look at all these fine canadians in your school.
See how diverse they are! When you think of Canada, what's the one thing that comes to mind? Gayness! That's right spirit.
What is it that makes Canada so important? NothinG.
My fellow, canadians.
For too long we have been pushed around and ridiculed.
Yesterday was supposed to be a day of appreciation and understanding.
Instead, Canada appreciation day was mocked worldwide! Nobody takes us canadians seriously! It's like the world don't respect Canada at all! That's right.
And I think it's time for Canada to show the world just how bad things would be without it.
Together we can send a message! It's time for Canada to strike! Did you say "strike"? Yes! Every canadian join me! Join together.
Canada on strike! Canada on strike! Canada.

Canada says no more! No more neglect.
We want respect.
That's what we're striking for! All you bureaucrats and corporate cats Can all take a hike! It's Canada.
On strike! Canada on strike from vancouver to St.
John's we raise our middle fingers for you all to sit upon and with our fingers up your ass you won't be very psyched it's Canada on strike and we will not bow or budge our resolve is strong we even took three hours to reverse this striking song Canada on strike no matter where you are if you are canadian then you've got to do your part march out of the halls That's right!

Oh Mr.

Will you just give this guy something, please? Excuse me? He just doesn't want to look like an idiot, so he needs everyone to think the strike was for something.
Just give him anything.
Well, we could give Canada some small consolation prize.
If they give you something small, will you end the strike? Will they act like they're giving Canada a lot so everyone thinks I did a good job? Can you act like you're giving him a lot? Sure, why not? We have won! So how much did we get? Well, we, we didn't get everything that we wanted, but we negotiated hard and we got these coupons to bennigans and free bubble gum for every canadian! These coupons entitle every canadian to a free meal at bennigans! With the purchase of a meal at equal or greater value, of course.
We did it! My friends, this is the greatest victory in canadian history! Ike.
Ike! It's over.
It's over? Yeah, here you go.
Boy, I'm sure glad that's over with.
Me too! Yeah, but you know, I learned something today.
We thought we could make money on the internet, but while the internet is new and exciting for creative people, it hasn't matured as a distribution mechanism to the extent that one should trade real or immediate opportunities for income for the promise of future online revenue.
It will be a few years before digital distribution of media on the internet can be monetized to an extent that necessitates content producers to forgo their fair value in more traditional media.
Yeah.
We did it! Celebrate, everyone! Hold on a minute.
Wait just a second.
We just did some calculating.
By not working during the strike, canadians lost $10.
4 million.
And our bennigan's coupons and bubble gum is worth roughly $3, 008.
Don't look at that.
Come on, friends, let's dance.
You had no idea what you were doing and now you're trying to make it look like you won so that we won't set you adrift! Dammit, friends, don't you see? We won for future canadians, guy.
So the little guy doesn't get pushed around anymore.
This was a victory for Canada's respect.
What do you think you're doing? We're setting you adrift, idiot.
Maybe you can go live with the Danish! You'll regret this day, frienD.
I'm not your friend, buddy! I'm not your buddy, guy! He's not your guy, friend! I'm not your friend, buddy! We're not your buddies, guy! I'm not your guy, friends!
