Here's one for the Canadians.
An Indian, an Albertan, and a Quebecois are walking down the street when they all happen upon a shiny gold bottle. They begin to fight over it, each claiming it is their own. The 3 all grab a hold of the bottle and start to tug back and forth, each trying to get it for themselves.
As they are doing so, the bottle rumbles and shakes, and falls to the ground, Immediately a genie pops out of the bottle. Stunned, they ask "Are you a genie?"
The genie's replies "Why yes I am, and the three of you have awakened me. I grant three wishes to whoever wakes me from my bottle, so each of you may have one wish. Make it count."
The Indian speaks up first and says "I know what I want already. Me and my brothers have dealt with this country's oppression long enough. i want all the Indian land in Canada to be made a sovereign nation with 80 foot walls all the way around it. To keep our oppressors out!"
The genie snaps his fingers and it is done.
Next the Quebecois speaks up. He says to the genie "That sounds like a really great idea. We in Quebec have wanted to be our own sovereign nation for decades, I want the same for me and mmy people. Make Quebec a sovereign ation, and give us the same 80 foot walls!"
The genie snaps his fingers and it is done. He looks towards the Albertan and says "Have you decided what you want to wish for?"
The Albertan thinks for a moment and says... "Can you please fill those walls to the top with water?"
