Yes, but we are insidiously infiltrating your country and culture...

Ever listen to the news or current affairs, subjecting you to an ever so
subliminal Canadian accent from Peter Jennings or Morley Safer?

Or how about the influence on the American Way of Life that the great (!!)
Canadian actor William Shatner has had on generations of young (and not so
young) impressionable "Americans"

Then again, those great Canadian cultural exports Pamela Anderson and Shania
Twain have taken US culture in directions never dreamed of...

Never laugh at Dan Ackroyd (maybe not!) or John Candy or Howie Mandel or Jim
Carrey?... all extending that subtle Canadian influence.

Do your wives us Elizabeth Arden - ha, another contain.

Or on a more serious note, maybe in your youth you listened to a little
Leonard Cohen or read some Marshall Macluhan... beware, it could still have
an influence over you...REMEMBER, the medium IS the message - and in this
case the message is Canadian. need I go on?

INSIDIOUS, UNDERGROUND, SUBTLE (?), EVERYWHERE and you don't even know it.
And before you do, you will be assimilated...

HA HA HA -

Dr. Evil  (there you go, him and Austin Powers - more Canadians)
