Throwback Thursday 2001 and the best Canadian comedy shows debate is louder than it sounds. Corner Gas has a case. So does SCTV. So does something from Calgary that only rock radio people from that era fully understand.

There is a speech from 2001 about a small Canadian town and a lot of strangers that is worth hearing even today. There is also an announcement from an American president that names specific allies. Fast forward to today, and one of those countries reminded President Trump that they showed up even though they weren’t a NATO member.  Full circle?

Topics: Throwback Thursday 2001, Jean Chrétien, 9/11, Drake, Canadian comedy
