The Simpsons visit Vancouver. My nationalism reaffirms it’s inferiority complex.

I love it when they mention us. More often than not when Canada is mentioned on American television, I squeal a little. Even more so when we become part of the narrative. I remember an episode of That 7o’s Show when the cast makes a trip across the border. I loved the cliche jokes: It’s true! We are polite! And apologize a lot! Tee hee!

With the Olympics in Vancouver it’s a constant thrill. Vancouver was the subject of the The Simpson’s last Sunday.
