Did the Canada guy poop on the White House rug?
Maybe its "a high honor" in their country.
"...accused him, in so many words, of soiling his rug."

I don't know the capitol city of Canada because I honestly don't care. I am sure that Canadians are nice people and everything, but as a country, what have they done that is significant to the US or the world...outside of hockey?

Here's what is reported to have happened:

Ss the war escalated, relations between the two nations deteriorated. The lowest point was in April 2, 1965 when Pearson gave a speech at Temple University in the United States which called for a reduction in the bombing of North Vietnam. A furious Lyndon B. Johnson met with Pearson and apparently grabbed the much smaller Canadian by the collar and held him against the wall, and yelled, "You don't come here and piss on my rug."

Boot to hoot:

I do get a little tired of listening to smug and unsolicited criticisms, especially from a country so bereft of basic human freedoms that you can't even espouse a biblical interpretation of homosexuality, nor own a firearm, and so overrun with socialism that patients are put on long waiting lists for surgery (there are more MRI machines in Detroit than in all of Canada) and so short sighted that they won't even defend themselves from a missile attack and that allow Middle Eastern terrorists to make themselves at home in their country.

Other than that, they are delightful neighbors.
