I had one of those hockey tables too. I noticed that when William Shatner tried to brag about canada’s health care system it didn’t exactly get much of a roar from the crowd.
Almost all of these “Canadians” live in the US and are dual-citizens.
Are you referring to the piece where he said, “we are a people that know how to make love in the canoe which is why Canada’s health care system covers splinters”.
That’s not bragging, but it’s called “making fun of oneself” (a.k.a autoirony). It’s a form of irony that Americans usually don’t get.
