That's why we have Montreal smoked meat and Montreal baggles (boiled and baked in a wood oven). Carl Reiner is another famous Canadian Jew, by the way. bluejives, of course there are Jews in Canada.

It is not defining oneself via America as stated, since it say's little more about your identity than I'm not a carrot. Would this be defining yourself via vegatables?, and it certainly doesn't define oneself as a loser canuck? I'm not a canuck by the way. Oh shit, I've just defined myself via Canada!!! Montclaire,

And defining onesself as not American is indeed defining oneself via America. It’s not flak, Arghaeri, it’s light-hearted and fun.

He not defining himself via america, he's defining himself and those who buy the tee-shirt as not american. It's a light hearted joke, and a very, very old one at that.

This is just the same as Koreans getting pissed in Europe with the amount of people greeting them with "Konnichiwa."
