during the sketch show’s goodnights, Myers’ slogan tee — unveiled after he unzipped his vest — was accompanied by the actor mouthing “elbows up,” a reference to Canadian hockey icon Gordie Howe’s slogan toward aggressive opponents on the ice.

“Fascism doesn’t like to be ridiculed; it likes to be feared,” he concluded. “Satire is an important tool in the toolbox to say that this is not normal — that the cuts [Elmo]’s making are not normal.”

You've got rush, and mother mother, and trailer park boys and letterkenny. Do you really need a washed up 90s sketch comedy actor?

What we don’t need is douchebags, so thanks for not being Canadian.

Your right, I was wrong for focusing on the fantastic art Canada has made in the last 30 years, what you really need is HEY REMEMBER THIS GUY FROM 1992

If you can’t figure out where the douchebaggery is in your comments, I don’t know how to help you.

If you can't accept that Canadas culture has moved beyond Wayne's world I don't know how to help you

Guess we should focus on newer shows then.

Have you seen The Pentaverate?

Didn't that get cancelled after 6 episodes?

Hey, keep digging this hole you got going here. Maybe if you get all the way to China you won't come across as such a COLOSSAL DOUCHE CANOE.

I'm perfectly fine in my "Canadas culture is doing just fine without a guy who hasn't really done anything noteworthy in decades" hole tyvm

Canada has made a ton of amazing art. But what they need right now is every Canadian hand on deck. If Myers is able to inspire more Canadian resistance to American threats then he's part of what they need.
