Apparently today's National Respect Canada Day.

But if you forgot, we don't blame you. Why?

1.) You've probably apologized a dozen times for it (it's the Canadian thing to do).

2.) It's a lame holiday. Everyone knows National Respect Canada Day is every day for true Canucks.

3.) It's also National Tapioca Pudding Day and those pudding cups certainly aren't going to eat themselves.

But while no one knows the origins or, quite frankly, the protocol for National Respect Canada Day, you can always count on the odd American to hate on their neighbours up north. Case in point, the lovely New Yorkers in the video below.
