Hmmm. Now that I think about it, I know what caused it, and it has nothing to do with anything I wrote. It was that very first MST3K episode I sent to Damian in Canada. You know, the one where Servo (Sirveaux for you Quebeçois) sings his famous Canada-bashing song - "where do you get off sharing a border with a country that is so superior" , "bacon-eatin' bastards", the PM scraping the moose dung off his boots, etc. (Too true, eh?)
Friends, do not trust the Canadian postal service.
UPDATE: Oh beautimous - Angie Schultz has taken the trouble to post all the lyrics and dialogue from the Canada Song in the comments. (And you're right, David Fleck. It is bacon-lovin', not bacon-eatin'.) Thanks Angie! In your face, Ottawa!
If only the Canuck net-nannies understood that we never engage in anything but affectionate sibling-like razzing of our neighbors to the North here. Not that I would complain if Western Canada decided to join our fair Yankee union (you know you want us, baby!), but we love Canada. (Can it be that the nanny-ninnies have classified all that joshing about the conquest of the Athabaska Tar Sands as "hate speech"?)
Wow. That truly is impressive. I am in awe.
...but it's "bacon-loving bastards", eh?

Servo:
Oh I wish I was back in old Canada
A land which I never shall lampoon
How I pine for the ice covering Lake Manitoba
And the beauty that is Saskatoon
Mike:
(I got one)
Oh I wish I was stuck in the hills of Alberta
Drinking beer with some big dumb guy trapping fur
As he scraped and he chiseled all the moose dung off his boots
I would learn that he's the Prime Minister
Crow:
Oh I wish I was in the land that gave us Peter Jennings
Alannis Morrisette, Mike Meyers too
No I take that back, I wouldn't go there even if you paid me
O Canada, you are a place I must eschew
Servo:
Now this is not in the spirit that I intended!
Mike:
Oh, come on, give in, I mean, after all they gave us Ed the Sock---and Rush!
Crow:
Yeah! What are you defending? They're such *feebs*!
Servo:
OK, I'll try.
Oh, I wish I was blowing up Prince Edward Island
And going on to bomb Ontario--ha ha!
The destruction of Canada and all of its culture
Is by far my favo-rite scenario
Mike:
OK, now, that's a little strong
Servo:
No, you're right Mike! This is much more fun!
Just where the hell does Canada get off sharing a border
With countries far superior to it?
Why, you lousy stinkin', Francophonic, bacon-lovin' bastards
Your country's just a giant piece of sh---
Mike:
OK I THINK THAT'S ENOUGH
Servo:
(sobbing)
I'm sorry! I have no sense of proportion! I'm a disgrace to my uniform!
Mike:
That's OK, now calm down now---mustn't hate, mustn't hate...
Crow:
At least so overtly.
Mike:
Right. Must disguise our hate...just a little...
We'll be right back.
Shh...shh...it's OK now, Dudley.
Servo:
Pardonnez-moi! Pardonnez-moi!

I think it'd be great to be able to drive into BC without going through customs, personally.
Of course, the upside of it being Canada is that everything's cheaper for us Yankees, what with the Canuckistan Ruble being so low against the dollar.
