Canada Voted Worst State in U.S.
A recent Gallup poll shows that Americans think Canada is the worst state in the U.S. The poll, given to a random sampling of 4,000 Americans across the country, asked the participants to write in their vote for the state they think is, among other categories, "Best," "Worst," "Ugliest," "Rednecky-est," and "Most Likely to Succeed after Graduation."
Bill McNeil of Gary, Indiana was one of the participants in the poll. "There's just something un-American about them Canadians," he says. "They talk kind of weird, they're too damn polite, their cities are clean and free of crime, they use this funny-colored money that ain't worth no more than Monopoly money. Hell, they already act like they're living in a separate country. I say, boot 'em out!"
Jack Spleenum, who conducted the poll, says that the findings bucked many earlier trends. Among some of the other results of the poll, Wyoming was voted "Best State in which to be a Buffalo," California was voted "State Most Resembling California," and South Dakota was voted "Ugliest," but also captured the "Congeniality" prize, which Spleenum maintains is "is a prestigious and important honor if you're too ugly to win the important prizes."
But, Spleenum says, "the real cream filling in this Ding-Dong of information is Canada. Over 65% of those polled selected it as the worst state. It trounced the next closest, which was Oklahoma City with 18%."
The governor of Canada could not be reached for comment.
