My name is Norm

My name is Norm, and I am Canadian  ...

I am a minority in Oakville,Toronto, and every casino in this country.

I was born in 1935, yet I am responsible for some native's great great
grandfather who screwed himself out of his land in the 1800's.

I pay import tax on cars made inOntario.

I am allowed to skydive and smoke, but not allowed to drive without a
seat belt.

All the money I make up until mid July must go to paying taxes.

I live and work among people who believe Americans are ignorant. These
same people cannot name this country's new territory.

Although I am sometimes forced to live on Kraft dinner and don't have a
pot to pi.. in, I sleep well knowing that I've helped purchase a nice
six figure home in Vancouver for some unskilled refugee.

Although they are unpatriotic and constantly try to separate, Quebec
still provides my nation's prime ministers.

95% of! my nation's international conflicts are over fish.

I'm supposed to call black people African Canadians, although I'm sure
none of them have ever been to Africa, or east of Halifax for that
matter.

I believe that paying a 200% tax on alcohol is fair.

I believe that the same tax on gasoline is also fair.

Even if I have no idea what happened to that old rifle my grandfather
gave me when I was 14, I will be considered a criminal if I don't
register it.

I often badmouth theUnited Statesand then vacation there three times a
year.

I believe spending $15 billion to promote the French language in the
rest of Canada is fair when the province of Quebec doesn't support or
recognize the English language.

I'm led to believe that some lazy ass unionized broom p! usher who
makes $30 an hour is underpaid and therefore must go on strike, but
paying $10 an hour to someone who works 12 hour shifts at forty below
on an oil rig is fair.

I believe that paying $30 million for 3 Stripes ("The Voice of Fire
painting in Ottawa) by the National Art Gallery was a good purchase,
even though 99% of this country didn't want it or will ever see it.

When I look at my pay stub and realize that I take home a third of what
I actually make, I say "Oh well, at least we have better health care
than the Americans."

I must bail out farmers when their crops are too wet or too dry because
I control the rain.

My national anthem has versions in both official languages and I don't
know either of them.

Canada is the highest taxed nation in North America, the biggest
military buffer for the United States, and the number one destination
for fleeing terrorists.

I am not an angry white male. I am an angry taxpayer who is broke.

My name is Norm, and I am Canadian.
