One of my favorite political comic strips was from I think about 1981 after Canada helped rescue some American hostages from Iran. It had a Canadian hockey player sitting at the bar with Uncle Sam saying he needed to buy him a drink, with a slapshoted Ayatollah Khomeini at the other end of bar in a pile of stools, chairs and over turned tables. I for one am a fan of Canadians, having been reared in upstate NY and Michigan.
