So this weekend, the Giants need to gain ground in their division, but more importantly, they have to stick it to Canada for burning down the White House during the War of 1812. And also for the metric system. And for pretending that Canadian bacon is totally different from ham. O’ Canada - you’re in for a world of hurt. You’re just lucky you’ve got socialized health care.
