Happy Birthday, Rick Mercer! May your day be filled with more laughs than a CODCO reunion and fewer mishaps than an episode of "Talking to Americans." Your fearless wit on "This Hour Has 22 Minutes" taught us that Canadian politics can indeed be hilarious—intentionally or not.From coast-to-coast rants in alleyways to plunging into icy waters for charity on the iconic “Rick Mercer Report,” you've shown Canada how humor unites us all. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as watching politicians squirm under your playful scrutiny. Keep ranting, keep laughing—and please avoid any polar bear dips today!
