Fucking alcoholics

Canadians are known for drinking a lot of beer. When I was young, imported beer was not permitted. American beer was considered weak, both in flavour and alcohol. Now there's a lot of American beer, and worse yet light beer.
Since you're from Ukraine, please let me throw in a political reference. When the Russians sent an icebreaker ship with a small submarine to the north pole, Peter McKay pounded his chest and tried to claim the arctic belongs to Canada. He apparently didn't know that since 1927 Canada's territory is a wedge, the apex is the north pole. Russia also claims a wedge, from their western and eastern most points to the north pole. So there is no conflict, the pole is the border between Canada and Russia. Of course one member of the Russian Duma claimed the arctic ocean, but that's only one individual. We have one idiot, they have one idiot. There's always one.
What we should have done is sent a Canadian Twin Otter aircraft with diplomats to meet the Russian ship at the pole. Pack the cargo hold with cases of the best brand of Canadian rye whisky. Canada invented rye whisky. Tell the Russians you bring the vodka, we'll bring the rye, and PARTY! Congratulate the Russians on their great, wonderful achievement. And while doing so subtly remind them that this is our common border.
By the way, Canada was founded by a bunch of politicians from Ontario and Quebec taking a lake boat to the Maritimes with a cargo hold filled with cases of Champaign wine. They did convince two of the colonies to join, but the point was Canada was founded by a drinking party.
Good Canadian values. Pass the Crown Royal. (ps. that brand is made in a small town near Winnipeg.)
