Q: How many Canadians does it take to change a lightbulb?

A: Twelve.  Four to form a Parliamentary study committee to decide how to solve the problem, one Francophone to complain that this joke was not translated into French, one Native Canadian to protest that the interests of the First Nations peoples have been overlooked, one woman from the National Action Committee On the Status Of Women to say that women have been underrepresented in the process, one to go over the border to the Niagara Falls Factory Outlet Mall and buy a new bulb and not pay duty on it on the way back, one to actually screw it in, one to collect taxes on the whole procedure so the government can afford it, one to buy a case of Molson for everybody to drink, and one to drop the puck.

Only in Canada, eh?
