No matter if people were fans or not of the league, the event seems to bring people from all parts of the country together in harmony for a great national institution.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>This year, the country will be especially united when Canadian rock band Nickelback will be performing the half time show.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oh my God, me and my friends hate them so much!&#8221; said a Rider fan, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know a single person on the planet who likes them!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Upon hearing that comment, a Bomber fan came rushing to the Rider fan&#8217;s side and said, &#8220;I thought Bomber fans were the only ones who hated Nickelback.  Come here!  Give me a hug.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The two fans embraced like they had never been rivals in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How the hell this band placed in the top 15 performing acts of the past decade is beyond me,&#8221; remarked a Ti-Cat fan with an &#8220;Argos Suck!&#8221; button on his lapel, &#8220;Where are these &#8216;fans&#8217; who support them? How the hell often can you hear the same song with different titles over and over again?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Argo fans came rushing over and put their arms around the Ti-Cat fans and said, &#8220;Holy shit, we never knew you hated them too!  That&#8217;s the real reason why us Argo fans hated you.  We thought you actually liked them!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ti-Cat and Argo fans then had a magical moment of conversing for the first time in decades and finding out that they really weren&#8217;t all that different.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s so beautiful,&#8221; said an Alouette bystander as she wiped away a tear, &#8220;I honestly thought they&#8217;d never get along.  All those wasted years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hailing from Hanna, Alberta, Nickelback have been quietly uniting the country with each successive formulaic album.  With each newly released limited range track, the band has all but saturated the &#8220;getting drunk, stoned and having sex with prostitutes&#8221; genre.  While the band has made millions of dollars, nobody in Canada has ever admitted to being a fan.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When every online dating profile specifically requests &#8216;NO NICKELBACK FANS&#8217;, you know the band has made an impact on Canadian culture,&#8221; said a BC Lions fan, &#8220;I&#8217;ve heard rumors that the Edmonton Eskimos pipe that music into the opposing team&#8217;s dressing room before games so they can get an advantage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They do NOT!&#8221; yelled an Eskimo fan, &#8220;We might be the Evil Empire but, we aren&#8217;t that evil!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While Nickelback will be uniting the country at the Grey Cup halftime show, it is expected they will still be better live than the studio dependent Black Eyed Peas.<\/p>\n<p>[paypal-donation]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VANCOUVER (SBP) &#8212; November is a special time of year in Canada.
