Canada ranks third in the world at creating annoying personalities, falling behind only the United States and France. Our country's smugness and self-righteousness are world-renowned, and our isolated and state-sponsored media produces an abundance of vacuous, self-regarding talking heads. Annoying people incubated in Canada have gone on to annoy millions of others around the world. We should be proud of our leadership in this area, but I feel our country is instead at best apathetic, and at worst, ashamed.

Yes, it's that time of year again. The leaves change color and fall; the children prepare to return to school; Bruce at Autonomous Source hosts his perennial search for the Most Annoying Canadian. Get on over there and nominate your favorite. I haven't made up my mind yet, but that cop banging at the door wanting to arrest me on some stupid morals charge is starting to be a very strong contender.
