KABillyMac,
I think what gphi2k means to say is that Canadian beer has historically had a slightly higher alcohol content of 1.5%-2% higher than American beer. So, Budweiser in Canada is slightly more "potent" than Budweiser in USA.
Canadian Beer is roughly 5.5-6%
I believe American beer is roughly 3-5%
Secondly, I think the reason why the show strikes a chord with Canadians is because 85% of our media (radio, newspaper, TV) streams over from the USA, therefore Canadians know much about USA, but inversely, in general Americans do not seem to take an interest in acquiring an extensive knowledge about Canada.
It is just Canadians having some good humoured fun....it is not intended to be malicious.
By the way, some mighty lovely ladies come from Canada, so you might consider visiting sometime:
Shania Twain
Linda Evangelista
Shalow Harlow (model)
Pamela Anderson
Natasha Henstridge ("Species")
Tricia Helfer (model)
I'll think of others...give me a moment.
(Mike "Austin Powers" Meyers...he's Canadian too!)
