What if Canada Ruled the World?
1. American dollar? If we're in a good mood, 32 cents Canadian.
2. New taste sensation at McDonald's: the McPoutine.
3. Guaranteed gold medals for Canada in every Winter Olympic event, dagnabbit!
4.Mapmakers would need to order a heck of a lot more pink, that's for sure.
5.All the top entertainers and news anchors in the States will be Canadian (no, wait, we're doing that already).
6.Federal law requiring more questions about Saskatchewan on Jeopardy!
7.New teen drama series on Fox starring Jason Priestley: Rosedale M4W 1T7.
8.United Nations disputes solved by best-in-three curling shootouts.
9.Non-stop Beachcombers and King of Kensington reruns to show rest of the world that their new Canadian overlords are down-to-earth folks just like them.
10.Three words: more street hockey
I've got more where that came from, just ask!! The others are better!
