A FEW HELPFUL TIPS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION
  OTTAWA – On Thursday the Canadian Government released a new citizenship guide which warns newcomers against “barbaric cultural practices.”
  "In Canada, men and women are equal under the law," the document canadian-immigration says. "Canada's openness and generosity do not extend to barbaric cultural practices.”
  The document then goes on to define such practices, including honour killings, spousal abuse and playing music by the band Oasis.
  Other cultural no-no’s included in the document are:
  - Hugh Grant will be shot on sight.
  - No one is allowed to pronounce the word “ask” as “ax.”
  - No one is allowed to say “Git er dun!” or however the hell you spell it.
  - The Benny Hill show will be judged on an episode by episode basis.
  - Asking if Canadians actually pronounce the word “About” as “Aboot” is ground for deportation.
  - and finally we all drink Tim Horton's.  Live with it.
