FXX is set to air the longest marathon in TV history when it runs all 552 episodes of "The Simpsons" back to back, starting Aug. 21.
Sadly, Canadians have been shut out of the fun, as FXX is only available to viewers in the U.S.
Since people won't be able to enjoy all their favourite Springfield hijinx north of the border, we here at The Huffington Post Canada wanted to give them a chance to have some fun anyway.
Or, if you're in the U.S., it's a chance to mock your northern neighbours.
Here are some of the best references to Canada on "The Simpsons."
