  • Tried again. Nope.

    I was getting tired of the anti-Canada rhetoric, so I stopped listening for a while. Ironically, I came back to try again and Jesse and Cameron make overt statement about their disdain for Canada. Cool guys. Did I mention Cameron also ironically did an ad read for how to be a good neighbour? Awkward.
