For that special Canadian in your life, care of McSweeney's

You can get anything published in McSweeney’s if it repurposes ageless Canadian stereotypes!

My favorite: Ballistic beavernauts!

Ballistic beavernauts

120 mm maple-syrup mortar

    I’m proud to say it: I’m an American with a positive attitude toward Canada! Granted Tim Horton’s is no Dunkin’ Donuts, but Lillydale commercials are way more entertaining than anything Frank Purdue produced.
