Happy Canada day!!

Ace — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 17:12:05 +0000

On today's show we celebrated Canada day with our Canadian listeners. We didn't know what Canada Day was so we got Pam (a Canadian listener living in Stoke) to break it down for us. She taught us that Canada day was basically a celebration of the birth of Canada.

While we had her on the phone we asked her why when watching US TV programmes why do the Yanks often take the pee out of everything Canadian. She had no idea and to defend her beloved country she took the Ace and Vis comparison test. This is How Canada compares to America....

In The US they have: JAY-Z. In CANADA they have: Celine Dionne or Brian Adams

In The US they have: The Statue of Liberty In CANADA they have Niagara Falls

In The US they have : Hot Dogs In Canada they have Cheese, fries & gravy

There ya go. Canada every bit as good as the United States of America...well kinda.

Thank you very much to Pam our Canadian buddy who is also our....
Listener of the Day
