Canadia?

[Howard]

I love the laid back way of you Canuks... very similar to us. An American comedian on local radio here described Australians as "Free range Canadians"

[Stan Leschert]

At least he knows who we are, even if he does talk funny.

No, I do not take any offense at this.

Aussies as free range Cdns...ya gotta love it, surprised it came from an American..but its good.

Canada. Canadians... Canadia... simple slip of the tongue...nothing more.. no offence taken..

Gents,

Kangaroos are actually a Canadian invention by Major General Simmonds of NWE WW2 fame. Are there , were there any Kangaroos in Australia ? ....

Actually we like your Prime Minister very much as we do all Australians.

What's his name again ?

Heaps, Wish I didn't have so many on the farm!

One of the great things about YouTube is that every gaffe made by politicians will be preserved for posterity, as an endless source of amusement for future generations. Tony Abbott's "suppository of all knowledge" is hard to beat, especially from a Rhodes Scholar, but my own personal favourite is Julia Gillard's mispronunciation of the word "hyperbole". I now use it myself at every opportunity, and given that she's a big footy fan in my home town of Melbourne, I'd like to see the AFL Grand Final renamed the Hyper Bowl, as an enduring tribute to our first female PM. This would be in keeping with the Australian practice of commemorating Prime Ministerial stuff ups, like the Harold Holt Memorial Swimming Centre, named after PM Harold Holt who drowned while in office in 1967.
