I'm sure everyone's seen the comic South Park by now..I think the whole thing about American's making slurs towards Candians is a big joke, and it's caught on because it's simply tongue in cheek. It's funny to slur at Canadians because their isn't anything to really slur at (There are no negative generalizations I know of attached to Canada), thats what makes it funny. So instead of slurring against the folks who have a reason to be angry with our slurs we invented one thats supposed to be benign and have applied it to our friendly neighbors to the North. This way we can continue to slur someone, but in theory the Candians shouldn't be offended because they are pretty much unslurrable!
This is my theory anyways!
