Yeah, that's right. You don't even bother to make threads about us, you just snipe us within unrelated threads, as though were are completely insignificant. You snigger, you laugh, you feel superior to us, and what's worse, you make it clear that you don't find us important enough to devote any time to criticising us. You complain that everyone is anti-YOU...well just look at this thread to see why anti-SOMEONE OTHER THAN YOU threads don't do that well. Apparently there just isn't enough ammunition in the way we spell 'labour', 'colour' and 'specialise'. *pouts*

as though were are completely insignificant.

Pretty much though, eh? :fluffle:

lol, I'm American, and I've more pride in Canada than my Canadian lover (She considers me a Canadian, not American, because of this...lol). I adore Canada, and loathe people who make stereotypes about it, and defend Canada. So no worries, you'll get your revenge when I take over the world. I promise.

I spell it "colour" too, if it makes you Cannucks feel better :D

Canada is the one north of the US, right?

Canadians?

Yeah, well they're pretty much like Americans, aren't they?

I spell it "colour" too, if it makes you Cannucks feel better :D

I'm not sure it makes us per se feel better, as much as it's nice to know some people still spell the word correctly.. I mean how lazy do you have to be to drop the "u" out of properly spelled English words..lol :D

God-damn touque-wearing, igloo-living, syrup-sucking, beaver-loving, overly-polite, extra-vowel-spelling Canadians!!! GRRRR!!!!

Oh wait, I'm Canadian. Nevermind. :D

Wow...you just did a belly flop into the deep end....

Canadians?

Yeah, well they're pretty much like Americans, aren't they?

Blasphemy!!!

Are you talking to the USians or all the people?

Isn't it only Americans who spell 'labour' and 'colour' (and the like) with out the 'u?'


More like we should make fun of them for not knowing how to spell :D.

Many of my friends are Canadian, so I don't make fun of Canadians. They're all kind of dim though, and every now and then my friends wonder if there's a connection :D. Nah, I know there isn't...

It's just a way of teasing. I mean, what about all the China bashing? I mean seriously, WE DONT EAT OUR KIDS OKAY?

Are you talking to the USians or all the people?


Come on,now-what do you think?

Or, you could be like one of those people that choose to spell things the way they sound. Crazy people.

Anyways, Im proud of my Country... and Im proud of our U.

Come on,now-what do you think?
Just USians, I think.

But I could be wrong.

Wouldn't be the first time

....


yup

...


*whistles and walks away*

Anti-Canadianism? Why would I be angry at you guys?

Or, you could be like one of those people that choose to spell things the way they sound. Crazy people.

Hooked on phonics..lol Which begs the question, why is it spelled "phonics" shouldn't it be spelled "fonics" by that statement? LOL

Isn't it only Americans who spell 'labour' and 'colour' (and the like) with out the 'u?'

You don't? :eek:


So what, do you feed on the elderly then? :D

tsk tsk tsk ....silly canadians

What is Canada? :confused:

Yeah, that's right. You don't even bother to make threads about us, you just snipe us within unrelated threads, as though were are completely insignificant.

Awww! I'm sorry, sweetie! If you like, I can think up some really bad things to flame Canadians about, but I really don't want to 'cause Canada rocks! :D

Canadians?

Yeah, well they're pretty much like Americans, aren't they?

Except cooler :p

You don't? :eek:


So what, do you feed on the elderly then? :D

Nono, too much skin, not enough meat.

Have you ever noticed how all the young Asian women are incredibly skinny? Well, it's like that in HK...

Right so what we do is, we eat the young obese women.

That way, we get a good meal AND we keep people from passing low metabolisms down into the next generation!

First of all, the premise isn't entirely true. Remember Johnny Wadd et al? He'd make threads about Canada anytime he found himself in an indefensable position, which was often. Most of the time it was about harbor seals, because it's hard to find things about you guys except the 'aboot' thing.

Second, a friend has recently come to the conclusion that Canada is imaginary. Follow: Dorky fifth graders to even dorkier underclassmen are notorious for thier "Canadian girlfriends.' ("I have a girlfriend, but she's in Canada so you can't call her or nothin'" (Because as every good snotty dorky American kid knows, you guys don't have phones yet and still communicate by strapping notes to Balto).

Then, he was with some friends who had a Canadian friend that had gone back there. WHen their child asked where she was they explained that she had gone back to Canada. The child did not believe them. Remember, this is the age where they still believe in Santa Claus-Santa Claus is more plausible than Canada. Canada is Imaginary, such a place can not possibly exist.







Otherwise I would live there. Instead, I live in California-which of course is alll real...

It's just a way of teasing. I mean, what about all the China bashing? I mean seriously, WE DONT EAT OUR KIDS OKAY?
SURE YOU DO!Onli kidding. ahh i makes myself laugh, ppl call me the laughing-at-nothing guy. That was a joke, they actually dont...well i dont think they do., i dont laugh at my jokes much anyway.

What is Canada? :confused:
SEE?

Yeah, that's right. You don't even bother to make threads about us, you just snipe us within unrelated threads, as though were are completely insignificant.

I really don't notice much rabid "Anti-Canadianism" on these boards. Most of it comes from Americans who really don't know very much about Canada, so why worry? It really isn't that important?

Some Americans on here think that if you are anti-Bush or anti-US foreign policy that you are somehow anti-American. I have been accused by a couple of American posters for those very same reasons. I don't worry because it is their truth not mine.

Except cooler :p

It's called 'winter'. :D

It's called 'winter'. :D
That's not what I've called it on those mercifully few occasions when I've had to endure what Canada calls "cool!" :D

This 'Canada' you speak of...I've never heard of it...possibly you meant 'Calendar'? I have one of those in my room, but no 'Canada'...





...Seriously though, you guys rock.

It's called 'winter'. :D

HaHA! Have a cookie, for you understood my pun. :D

LOL! Does that mean that Canada is a "state of mind?" If so, what State? :)

As an opinionated American, I personally blame Canada for lots of the world's ill's...

Michael J. Fox (his movies, not his person)
Pamela Anderson (everything)
Neil Young (the overall ickiness of it)

Of course, the movie “Strange Brew” and Alex Trebek make up for those three, but Canada is on thin ice in my book, they better be careful :p

Pamela Sue is one of "the world's ills?" :eek:

I was always under the impression that she was one of the world's seven wonders ... well maybe two of them then. :D

... and Avril Lavigne.

MON DIEU GET HER AWAY.

I mean seriously.

Can't that girl die already?

Nono, too much skin, not enough meat.

Have you ever noticed how all the young Asian women are incredibly skinny? Well, it's like that in HK...

Right so what we do is, we eat the young obese women.

That way, we get a good meal AND we keep people from passing low metabolisms down into the next generation!


Do you consider 120 lbs. fat? If so, *runs away*

MON DIEU GET HER AWAY.

I mean seriously.

It can be arranged.

...but not by me. I didn't say that. No. Ahhh! The blacksuits are after me!

Pamela Sue is one of "the world's ills?" :eek:

Yeah, I know what you are talking about. I've been accused of being a terrorist sympathizer because I wrote something on another forum about the London bombings and Mohammed Mossadegh. So, when I condemn terrorist attacks committed by Muslim extremists, I'm anti-terror, but when I condemn similar terrorist actions by America, Britain or Israel, I'm a terrorist supporter. 1984, here we come.

Are you talking to the USians or all the people?

Nah. He's also talking to all the United Kingdomians, Dominions, Grand Duchys and Republicans.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A USian!!!

I hope that this is not addressed to us Europeans!

120 lbs could be fat, it depends how tall you are.

You forgot William Shatner.

BTW: I still think the UK owes us for the Graham Norton guy. :p

Nah. He's also talking to all the Kingdoms, Dominions, Grand Duchys and Republics.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A USian!!!
Sinuhue is also not a he. What's your point?

You got what I meant. I was too fucking lazy, okay?

Do you consider 120 lbs. fat? If so, *runs away*

Good GOD no. My mother might though :D.

No seriously, I'm heavier then that and probably shorter than you, I'd better lose some weight fast or I might be someones afternoon snack (more like 7 course meal, but you know, whatever).

watch your language, buddy

Sinuhue is also not a he. What's your point?

You got what I meant. I was too fucking lazy, okay?

That saying USian is improper. It's American, dammit.

Aha... so when do you change your title to "Lazy Legless Pirates"? Or, "Clueless Wannabe Polically Lazy Legless Pirates"?

This is not a flame. I'm pointing out that a name is imporant. Citizens of the US are and have been called Americans for time out of mind, and that's never going to change.

So, if you're a UKian, or a NZian, or a Dominian, or a Southian, or a Kindomian, etc... stop the USian thing. It is at least annoying, but more over, is just plain wrong.

(I apologise for somewhat hijacking this thread, but this is also a bust on Canadians that say USian.)

That saying USian is improper. It's American, dammit.

I don't really give a shit, but what's wrong with United Statesian, other than that it's not traditional?

i hate americans that tell anyone to spell properly!!! we invented the language you use i hope you know that!!!

I don't really give a shit, but what's wrong with United Statesian, other than that it's not traditional?

Frankly, it sounds retarded.

I like canada

we spell it correctly we also have more sensible measurements

america is the one getting it wrong not us

viva the commonwealth countries who can spell (well apart from me obviously)

i hate americans that tell anyone to spell properly!!! we invented the language you use i hope you know that!!!

There are almost 300 million Americans, therefore our Americanized English is correct.

There are almost 300million Americans, therefore our American English is correct.

you can kiss my ass about that, there may only be what maximum 60 million or so Brits but we could so kick your ass in war or infact a spelling test just by using common sense, and your American English is only correct cause you gave it a seperate title instead of just English!

cant we all just get along? we are arguing over stupid kind of things!

There are almost 300 million Americans, therefore our Americanized English is correct.

Mon dieu!

Actually, what happened was Webster decided to compile his own American dictionary and was like 'hey! Why don't we revert all these words back to their French origins!'

Actually I think that's my argument as to why Americans shouldn't really be saying 'erb.'

Plus, that just sounds stupid. It sounds like a really stupid name, kind of like Bob.

*said with southern accent*
Hi, mah names EEERB.

There are almost 300 million Americans, therefore our Americanized English is correct.

You miss the point, it's not about quantity, it's quality.. Just because more people do something wrong than right, doesn't make them right. Such is the case of the USA bastardizing the English language!

yes but british english is used in canada india britain and australia plus most of the commenwealth (though some of these have diverged enough to be compleatly different)

thats like a billion people

Canada is the one north of the US, right?

Yep. But to quote Rick Mercer, a very funny Canadian comedian :
[on Canada and the US] "We're bigger, and we're on top. If this was prison, they would be our bitch."

"If the United States were a 35-year-old man, I think he'd be in a mental institution. Violent tendencies - delusions of grandeur - medicate heavily."

"In the United States I have always believed that there was a big difference between Conservative and stupid. Boy is it getting harder to prove that one by the minute."

I don't really give a shit, but what's wrong with United Statesian, other than that it's not traditional?

Are you going to say "Kingdom of Spanians" as well? How about "United Kingdomiacs"? :rolleyes:

It's Spanish, British, and American for a reason. :)

cool

yeah if you think about it they have simular interests a lot of the time so america pays the money has the war (or whatever) and canada gets the benefits

you can kiss my ass about that, there may only be what maximum 60 million or so Brits but we could so kick your ass in war or infact a spelling test just by using common sense, and your American English is only correct cause you gave it a seperate title instead of just English!

Touched a nerve?

Touched a nerve?

I guess so.. You'd think you Cheese thingys would get along, huh.

cool

yeah if you think about it they have simular interests a lot of the time so america pays the money has the war (or whatever) and canada gets the benefits

Care to share which wars the USA has paid for where Canada has had any benefit? And don't go to WWII, we were there first, thus longer and had our own lend-lease program called "Mutual Aid"..

Please expand.. I'm quite curious?

As per bolded: What kind of dimensional universe does he live in where one country can be on top of another? Is there a race of super Mole-men.

Is English the official language of India? Paul Hogan doesn't sound like any limey I ever heard.

I am extreemely jealous of Canada and Canadians. I hear that this is supposed to mean that I am supposed to hate you. In fact I love Canada and wish to move there, rather than talk shit about it and blow up Canadian buildings. I wonder whats wrong with me.

Well, umm, Tommy Lee did give her Hep C, but if you like her.. who am I to stand in your way.. ewwww..lol
Um ... noooo thank you! I'll just admire them from afar and stick with the most erotic and sensual woman I have ever met ... CSG! :D

Why I do declare! *fans himself* Lemonade?

Well, 'American' is a bit of a misnomer for citizens of the US... after all, the country is named 'The United States of America'. I think 'USAsians' would be cool, except everyone would think you're talking about Asian immigrants to the US. Hmm... this is tricky. :D

Technically, anyone living in the Americas is an 'American'.

You miss the point, it's not about quantity, it's quality.. Just because more people do something wrong than right, doesn't make them right. Such is the case of the USA bastardizing the English language!


In this case might does make right!

Wow...imagine my extreme surprise to come back after lunch and find this thread to be 5 pages long!

Yeah, that's right. You don't even bother to make threads about us, you just snipe us within unrelated threads, as though were are completely insignificant. You snigger, you laugh, you feel superior to us, and what's worse, you make it clear that you don't find us important enough to devote any time to criticising us.

You're doing a good enough job of humiliating us yourself ;) !

I really don't notice much rabid "Anti-Canadianism" on these boards.
That's the POINT! What...we aren't important enough to have people hate us? Sheesh. We kill baby seals! We want to legalise pot! We are fine with gay marriage, and we didn't go into Iraq! What more do we have to do to piss you off? We thought we had it in the bag when we sent Celine Dion to Las Vegas... :eek:

As an opinionated American, I personally blame Canada for lots of the world's ill's...

Neil Young (the overall ickiness of it)


Wait, wait, wait, wait...Rocking in the Freeworld...Old Man, Heart of Gold...how can you POSSIBLY not go mad with joy when you hear these tunes????

We thought we had it in the bag when we sent Celine Dion to Las Vegas... :eek:


That was you?!
Well I was a pacifist up until this moment...
*buys a gun and rallys the troops*

So, if you're a UKian, or a NZian, or a Dominian, or a Southian, or a Kindomian, etc... stop the USian thing. It is at least annoying, but more over, is just plain wrong.

(I apologise for somewhat hijacking this thread, but this is also a bust on Canadians that say USian.)
Whatever you USian.

The more it bugs you...the more we liiiiiiikkkkkee it.... :D

At least I have the excuse of translating the Spanish word 'estadounidense' into English as the reason I use Usian...and isn't Spanish your official language anyway? ;)

i hate americans that tell anyone to spell properly!!! we invented the language you use i hope you know that!!!
So who invented capital letters and proper punctuation?

That's the POINT! What...we aren't important enough to have people hate us? Sheesh. We kill baby seals! We want to legalise pot! We are fine with gay marriage, and we didn't go into Iraq!

How can one possibly further bastardise a language that is well and truly already bastardised? Shite, we don't even bother to come up with words for things half the time...we just rip off an anglicised version of the name is the original language...Bok Choy anyone? The Spanish managed to make up their own word for it (aselga)...are we seriously lazier than the SPANISH??? (estoy bromiando, ustedes saben que amo los hispanos)

one question. why on earth do americans think canadians say: aboot? i have never heard anyone say that in my life. where did they get that from? :confused:

We're just glad it wasn't Anne Murray. :)
That could be arranged ;)

one question. why on earth do americans think canadians say: aboot? i have never heard anyone say that in my life. where did they get that from? :confused:
I'm sure some drunken newfie said it one night, and the word has forever been held up as a symbol of all that is wrong with Canada:)

That could be arranged ;)

We'll trade you Michael Jackson, Madonna, Cher, and Green Day for one Anne Murray. :mp5:

Michael J. Fox? What about Back to the Future? And, yes, leave Neil Young out of this! He koo.

eh?

You forgot William Shatner.

BTW: I still think the UK owes us for the Graham Norton guy. :p

Personnaly, i think that's unfair. You stole Shatner from us. He's your problem now!

We'll trade you Michael Jackson, Madonna, Cher, and Green Day for one Anne Murray. :mp5:

Keep Jacko away back in Suburban Los Angeles, whihc will do for hell until such time as he croaks.

Gotta keep the little Canadians safe in their beds.

SEE!! This is exactly what I'm whinin...I mean, um, talking about! I start a thread about Canada, and you make it about the US! WE WANT SOME BLOODY ATTENTION TOO!!!!!!

Erm sorry man, erm well Canada you suck! There you go.

Canadians are just unarmed Americans with health care.

you can kiss my ass about that, there may only be what maximum 60 million or so Brits but we could so kick your ass in war or infact a spelling test just by using common sense, and your American English is only correct cause you gave it a seperate title instead of just English!

This thread has turned into sensless America-bashing.

My friends and I always refered to Canada as America light...
Kinda like the US, but without all of the shit.

Go ahead and send Anne Murray down...Then you'd be 100% crap free.
But if you could lay of on the Baby Seal clubbing, that'd be good.

Canadians are just unarmed Americans with health care.
You'd be surprised at how many weapons Canadians own.

Sure, they're mostly for hunting moose, but we do have them in our syrup-covered hands.

This thread has turned into sensless America-bashing.
Im sorry about that, but i just had to say what i felt at that point.

eh?
Nah...you just sound like a querelous oldster. 'eh must be used at the end of a sentence, or it will have a different meaning. For example:

Nice day, 'eh?
'eh can be a pronoun replacing, "isn't it?".

Don't be a hoser, eh!

If you say: "Eh, want to go fishing", 'eh is just an abbreviated version of 'hey'.

'eh by itself means, "what did you say," or "what?"

Now you know how to use 'eh. It can turn any statement into a question, and it adds 'oomph' to the statements you wish to emphasise.

You complain that everyone is anti-YOU...well just look at this thread to see why anti-SOMEONE OTHER THAN YOU threads don't do that well. Apparently there just isn't enough ammunition in the way we spell 'labour', 'colour' and 'specialise'. *pouts*


Do you have nukes, by any chance?

(looks around)

Nope. I actually love Canada the country, much as I love France's decision to not support the Iraq war. However, also like france, it's just to easy to make fun of.

Good technique, eh?
It's SO much easier when you grow up with it, eh? That's a beaut!

I heard once that the reasons Canadians use 'eh, is because many native languages use this utterance to indicate a question, rather than raising their voice at the end like you would in English. Interesting, eh.

So I'm crossing the border into Canada, and the customs officer asks if I have any drugs or weapons in the car, so I said "Why...What do you need?"

Here is my complaint about Canada, no sense of humor in customs. (But dang, those guys can turn a car inside out!)

Actually.. being from the Ottawa valley, we say "eh" quite a bit. It's of French origin. :)

Yep. But to quote Rick Mercer, a very funny Canadian comedian :
[on Canada and the US] "We're bigger, and we're on top. If this was prison, they would be our bitch."

"If the United States were a 35-year-old man, I think he'd be in a mental institution. Violent tendencies - delusions of grandeur - medicate heavily."

"In the United States I have always believed that there was a big difference between Conservative and stupid. Boy is it getting harder to prove that one by the minute."


Wow- he is funny. :rolleyes:

Here is my complaint about Canada, no sense of humor in customs.
I cant think of any country that has humour and customs together...

I like my theory better, eh?

Wow- he is funny. :rolleyes:
Uber-sensitive-to-anything-remotely-anti-american-alert...

Nah...you just sound like a querelous oldster. 'eh must be used at the end of a sentence, or it will have a different meaning. For example:

Nice day, 'eh?
'eh can be a pronoun replacing, "isn't it?".

Don't be a hoser, eh!

If you say: "Eh, want to go fishing", 'eh is just an abbreviated version of 'hey'.

'eh by itself means, "what did you say," or "what?"

Now you know how to use 'eh. It can turn any statement into a question, and it adds 'oomph' to the statements you wish to emphasise.


Who says I wasn't trying to sound like a querelous oldster? I resent that, and I resent the canadian presumptuousness to dictate what I mean when I say stuff. TRUST CANADIANS to think that they're so high and mighty just because they're the second largest country in the world. Well incase you're suffering from brainfreeze, I'll enlighten your savage selves. You aren't all that! Stoopid canucks, thinking they can just go correcting people on the internet... who made them the internet grammar police anyway?



Or something like that. :D

This thread has turned into sensless America-bashing.


As do most of them. Are you surprised?

eh?

Any link to back that up? I'm curious to learn why the French Quebecers lost their "eh" and when the english took it.

As do most of them. Are you surprised?
ego-alert....

The number of anti-that-country-I-won't-mention-because-I-want-to-keep-this-thread-on-track comments are insignificant at best. Quit trying to steal this thread by talking about yourself!

He is a comedic genius.

Yeah, I question that. I don't hear many francophones say 'eh'. They're too busy talking with their hands and making love with their mouths :D

And insignificance itself was the root of this thread. No?

one question. why on earth do americans think canadians say: aboot? i have never heard anyone say that in my life. where did they get that from? :confused:
Probably from all those Canadians that kept saying 'aboot'...Whatever Canadians you guys keep sending my way talk like that. Maybe I run into Canadians who don't do that, but unless they had a Maple Leaf on thier head I probably didn't know they where Canadian.

Uh- uber sensitive?- You mean like the original post? You mean the post that is obviously a joke? Could we be talking about the same post?

I'm sure you found that comedian to be a laugh riot though, right?
He is a comedic genius.Rick Mercer, were he not gay, would be my first pick for sugar daddy. You think what he says about that country with no name is 'mean'...you should hear what he says about us!

Seriously. Quit being so serious. Or this thread is not for you. There are plenty of obvious anti-anti-you-know-who threads to focus your ire upon :cool:

I saw that This Hour show and he was on it. Kind of lame, I guess it could have been the script. I saw that "Talking to Americans" bit, if it was even real it was only slightly humorous.

but since you've outed this as a joke thread, I'll extinguish the "ire" as you say.
Phony.

What I like about Canadian comedians, regardless of their 'target' is their own innate sense of humility and self-effacement, like, hey, let's laugh at these people, but look how lame we are too....and believe me, Canuks bear the brunt of their own comedians far more than anyone else does...laughing at ourselves is a national pastime!

How can you tell someone is a Canadian?

They thank the vending machine.

My friend in Ontario says "aboot" and "ruff" too! Not all Canadians say it that way? She was having me think otherwise when I joke about it.

I wish I knew what the hell you're talking about.
I'm talking about the fact that Canadians have an issue with national significance, a kind of national low-self-esteem (so the stereotype goes). I'm saying (jokingly) that it may NOT be a personal issue, but rather a perscution complex that is entirely real...

but since you've outed this as a joke thread, I'll extinguish the "ire" as you say.
I'm joking. But I'm not. That's kind of how we deal with things.

A Truly Canadian Apology to the U.S.

On behalf of Canadians everywhere I'd like to offer an apology to the United States of America. We haven't been getting along very well recently and for that, I am truly sorry.

I'm sorry we called George Bush a moron.

He is a moron but it wasn't nice of us to point it out. If it's any consolation, the fact that he's a moron shouldn't reflect poorly on the people of America. After all it's not like you actually elected him.

I'm sorry about our softwood lumber. Just because we have more trees than you doesn't give us the right to sell you lumber that's cheaper and better than your own.

I'm sorry we beat you in Olympic hockey. In our defense I guess our excuse would be that our team was much, much, much, much better than yours.

I'm sorry we burnt down your white house during the war of 1812. I notice you've rebuilt it! It's Very Nice.

I'm sorry about your beer. I know we had nothing to do with your beer but, we Feel your Pain.

I'm sorry about our waffling on Iraq. I mean, when you're going up against a crazed dictator, you wanna have your friends by your side. I realize it took more than two years before you guys pitched in against Hitler, but that was different. Everyone knew he had weapons.

And finally on behalf of all Canadians, I'm sorry that we're constantly apologizing for things in a passive-aggressive way, which is really a thinly veiled criticism. I sincerely hope that you're not upset over this. We've seen what you do to countries you get upset with.

Thank you,

To be quite honest with you, I've yet to meet an offensive Canadian in real life. The only ones I could say I dont care for are few and they're in here. Talk about insignificant though. I certainly dont fault a country for a few malcontents. And I dont assume they speak for the rest of Canadians either.

My friend in Ontario says "aboot" and "ruff" too! Not all Canadians say it that way? She was having me think otherwise when I joke about it.
Ah well. We blame everything on those 'Easterners' anyway (oddly enough, our most eastern brethren, the Maritimers, don't get counted as Easterners. Easterner is code for Ontarion). Once we start flooding Ontario with newfies, aboot and ruff will be things of the past...

And finally on behalf of all Canadians, I'm sorry that we're constantly apologizing for things in a passive-aggressive way, which is really a thinly veiled criticism.
This is SOOOO true!

We like subtle insults. Which is why we don't know how to react to the in-your-face insults we get from our southern neighbours...

...Canadians are so much more emotionally reserved (sometimes to the point of the ridiculous). We just don't like to get worked up in public about things, so we seem polite to others, I suppose. But we know we're all saracstic bastards...

Whatever you USian.

The more it bugs you...the more we liiiiiiikkkkkee it.... :D

At least I have the excuse of translating the Spanish word 'estadounidense' into English as the reason I use Usian...and isn't Spanish your official language anyway? ;)

Just for that, we may send you Rush Limbaugh. :p

It's French yours? :D

I'm saying (jokingly) that it may NOT be a personal issue, but rather a perscution complex that is entirely real...



Could you just please take a moment to correctly spell "PERSECUTION", damnit!!!
Thats what I didnt get and you keep stumbling over it on purpose to drive me fucking insane.
Next you'll say "meh" *Spits*

What? What about our AWSOME wine? Eh? Can you live without it?.....Don't think so!!!!!!!!!

So I'm crossing the border into Canada, and the customs officer asks if I have any drugs or weapons in the car, so I said "Why...What do you need?"

Here is my complaint about Canada, no sense of humor in customs. (But dang, those guys can turn a car inside out!)

You think that's bad? You should have seen what I had to go through to get into Poland in 1982...

I'm joking. But I'm not. That's kind of how we deal with things.

You'd be surprised. We do feel very strongly about certain US/Canadian issues...but we don't like to be rude about it too much in RL. We want to work these things out. It doesn't mean we don't get right pissed off...we just can't handle confrontation. Unless we're drunk. Then...LOOK OUT!

Now, I would love to be able to tell you off, and call you an arrogant jerk, but I can't. I just can't. I'll content myself with knowing that Canadians are aware of this arrogance, and 'rise above' the insults with the firm knowledge that I can bitch and complain about you tonight at dinner, and feel better. Then we'll sell some more marijuana seeds in the US, promote gay marriage, legalise prostitution, speak in French (or metric, if we really want to confuse you), and make Rick Mercer Prime Minister one day...just to piss you off, all the while sitting in a corner, whistling innocently...

As inaccurate as the store of George Washington throwing a silver dollar across the Potomac...

Washington DC was burned by Admiral Sir George Cockburn (born in London) and General Robert Ross (born in Northern Ireland). The expedition was carried out between August 19 and August 29, 1814.

"In July, another task force under the command of Admiral William Cochrane, commander of Royal Navy forces on the North American station, arrived in the Chesapeake.
The transports in Cochrane's command carried a landing force of approximately 5,400 British Army regulars under Major General John Ross, a veteran of the Peninsular Campaign in Europe. The objective of joint naval and ground campaign was the capture and sacking of Washington in response to the American torching of Toronto in Canada the previous year."

Although the United States was officially at war with Great Britain, more than half of the British forces were made up of Canadian militia. Additionally, many American Indians (now generally called Native Americans in the United States and First Nations in Canada) fought on both sides of the war for reasons of their own.

There are almost 300 million Americans, therefore our Americanized English is correct.
By the same arguement, theres over one thousand million Chinese. So should all English speakers (and I use the term loosely) publish newspapers with their alphabet?

I just got my "I love Canadia" trophy on KoL. Yay!

The only bad thing about Canada is the fact that you get Yanks on holiday who "adopt" Canadian nationality to try and sidestep some of the flak U.S. foreign policy brings. They soon get weeded out on a good drinking session though :p

We actually have CSIS agents who go abroad, looking for yanks with Canadian flags on their packs. They have 'accidents*', and the honour of our nation is restored.

*accidents of course refer to the polite request by CSIS agents to remove the flag. When the American refuses, CSIS agents buy him or her a drink, and take the flag while they're not looking. Now THAT's special-ops!

I think the war of 1812 lasted longer than 1 year. But, it started in 1812, eh?

I think that Canada was not an independant country and naturally the British pitched in a few paltry units to help us out against the oppressors from beneath us. But - and I don't have a net link to support this, but I'm pretty sure it's true - since Britain was fighting Bonaparte at that time (in the other war of 1812 that didn't end in 1812) they couldn't afford to send much.

I believe the oppressors picked that time to invade as Britain was distracted and they thought it would be an easy fight. I guess we defeated the oppressors ourselves with the help of the natives and a few British soldiers and officers.

Anyway, we're best buddies now, right? I believe it, don't you, eh?

I laugh at all of the socks and sandals on the Canadians when they come down here, as well as the super white flesh. Plus I like to get them lost on the subway.

Ay...and did you hear that Labatts simply can not manage to float a decent light beer that will compete with Coors...so they're frigging importing BUD LIGHT!!!???? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Soon we'll be drinking watered down piss for beer, and smoking camels instead of weed.... :headbang:

Hey, the rest of it I was fine with... :)
But somewhere, there are 5,400 non-Canadian spirits pissed off that someone else is taking credit for thier sacking of DC...

(okay, there were likely SOME proto-Canadians that had gone to England and joined the army and came back to do that, but those are exceptions...)

SOME, exception... That was half of the troop involve. I can live with half of the burning of the white house. I pick the west wing. eh!

Although the United States was officially at war with Great Britain, more than half of the British forces were made up of Canadian militia. Additionally, many American Indians (now generally called Native Americans in the United States and First Nations in Canada) fought on both sides of the war for reasons of their own.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_1812

Oh, I agree that half the British forces in North America were Canadian militia.
I'm disputing that they had anything do to with a Naval expedition coming out of England via the Carribean to burn down DC, is all. :D

Until the Brits claim it, IT'S OURS!!!!

I think the war of 1812 lasted longer than 1 year. But, it started in 1812, eh?


1810-1814.

Until the Brits claim it, IT'S OURS!!!!
Quite frankly, if you really want the damned place, it's yours! LOL! Now YOU can try to figure out what to do with all the damned politicians and lobbyists! :D

1810-1814.
What, is this the War of 1812 thread? Sheesh!

Let's pick on other things Canadian, shall we? Like Paul Martin?

Quite frankly, if you really want the damned place, it's yours! LOL! Now YOU can try to figure out what to do with all the damned politicians and lobbyists! :D
'It' referred to the action of burning down the White House, not the White House itself. We don't want it. Unless we get to burn it. Again :p

I suspect that many of those involved stayed in Canada. At least we can say our descendants burned your White House. (BTW did you know Argentina has Pink House?)

I'm sure at least some did... but that's getting a bit picky, no?
(BTW: that's ancestors. Unless you lot are planning something?!? :eek: )

Yep! There is also a Yellow House somewhere in the Middle East, but I've forgotten when country has it.

That's okay. When you want to see some Canadian wildlife, we'll take you down to the garbage dump to see the bears. With rotting cod in the back of the truck :D

We have wildlife too. Why come to Canaduh?

Residents of New Jersey don't count. *ducks*

Quite frankly, if you really want the damned place, it's yours! LOL! Now YOU can try to figure out what to do with all the damned politicians and lobbyists! :D

That's easy. Lock all the doors and burn it down again. Then you can pick a new colour and see if it works better. ;)

SOME, exception... That was half of the troop involve. I can live with half of the burning of the white house. I pick the west wing. eh!

Please re-read. I'm agreeing that half the British forces in ALL of North America were Canadian militia. I'm also saying that those were NOT involved in sacking DC... those were British regulars.

I'm sure at least some did... but that's getting a bit picky, no?

Bahahahahaa....I fricking said descendents...oh Cripes I let the cat out of the bag....(actually I'm just completely brain dead today...what was I thinking????) :D

Thats just evil.

I wonder what they thought when they sped past their station?

All evidence to the contrary is not going to stop us from claiming the honour. Save your breath to cool your porridge. Or your Tim Horton's coffee if you prefer... :fluffle:

New Jersey is a foreign country. Try Alaska.

Hey...I resemble that remark!!!

Bah. How many of you yanks have every even been to Alaska? You might as well cede it to us...we'll give you Ontario...

actually I'm just completely brain dead today...


what makes today special?

Bah. How many of you yanks have every even been to Alaska? You might as well cede it to us...we'll give you Ontario...

I have.
Also,within the arctic circle.

And if we wanted Ontario, we would have taken it already.

I love what you're all aboot!

:fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle:

Quite a few of us. There are more "Yanks" there then Canadians.

We have wildlife too. Why come to Canaduh?
Because some of the "wildlife" in Canada is human female and wilder than many in the US? :D

Exactly. What would they do, attack us with their "culture"? We'd just push over their igloos and tepee's. Also liter everywhere.

Sorry, but beauty and Canadian chicks aren't usually spoken of in the same sentence.

Today I can't seem to hide it. Normally I manage to make it less obvious. I blame it on having two coffees today instead of one. That, and I was upset to see a box of Krispy Kreams in the office today instead of good, Canadian, Tim Horton's Doughnuts...

All evidence to the contrary is not going to stop us from claiming the honour. Save your breath to cool your porridge. Or your Tim Horton's coffee if you prefer... :fluffle:

Ah, so this is just a wonton bit of absurdity. Like the idea that you née-Dominions can play baseball? ;)

Tim Hortons? Never heard of it...

That, and I was upset to see a box of Krispy Kreams in the office today instead of good, Canadian, Tim Horton's Doughnuts...


I have a feeling they will both have the same effect on your ass.

Better buy the Tim Horton's up and freeze them-they'll be gone soon.

A late hockey player, started a coffee shop back in the 60s. Simple straightfoward coffee. The type I like.

Funny how that "Canadian" donut chain is owned by Wendy's.

I figured out an issue I have with Canada

Looking at your way of life up there makes the bad things about the US stick out like a sore thumb. Quit ruining my sense that things are going okay down here. :p

Baseball? Who the hell cares about baseball? Bah.

Quite a few of us. There are more "Yanks" there then Canadians.
Considering that Alaska is a US state, and most people living there are by default Americans...that seems like a no-brainer...it doesn't mean the rest of you have seen it though.

:rolleyes:

:D

At least the 4,000 of you that kept going to *Expos* games, of all things. :)

They've already lost their nationality :( .

I like eskimo doughnuts better anyway (deep fried bannock).

Didn't a girl from Canada win Miss Universe? That chick rocked btw - she was beautiful and had very thoughtful answers to the questions.

I was so embarassed for the US contestant.

Many have, you do know it is a huge cruise area.

How many Canadians have visited the NWT?

As long as lots of Tim Horton funds still go towards Canadian kids and hockey camps...

Oh, two major wins in the last 40 years. That is just awesome. :rolleyes:

Also to American kids. They do have that camp in Kentucky you know.

Actually, I didn't think that many had, until I myself went up north and talked about it...almost everyone I spoke to said they'd been there at one point or another...and that's saying a lot more than going to Alaska, considering the NWT, Yukon, and Nunavut are way less populated than Alaska. A lot of Canadians go North to work for a while...it seems like really fantastic money.

Now that doesn't mean that the regular Canuk isn't horribly ignorant about the North.

Oh, two major wins in the last 40 years. That is just awesome. :rolleyes:


I don't follow it that closely. But you don't have to be a sore loser about it. That chick was hot and awesome.

I disagree. At least two of those girls are cute, though very young.
This was a poor example if you wanted to claim "Canadian chicks" are known to be homely.

As an opinionated American, I personally blame Canada for lots of the world's ill's...

Michael J. Fox (his movies, not his person)
Pamela Anderson (everything)
Neil Young (the overall ickiness of it)

Of course, the movie “Strange Brew” and Alex Trebek make up for those three, but Canada is on thin ice in my book, they better be careful :p



You forgot about Celine Dion and Bryan Adams (possibly two of the biggest offenders).

In all fairness, both were very successful when they first started-they were well liked. Then we got beaten over the head with them.

Well frankly, with all the crap imported here from the US, you surely deserve what we give you!

No she is not hot, she was pretty. Her face isn't even. Sorry if my tastes are superior to yours. I'm not a sore loser.

I just like making fun of Canadians. In other forums, people from Canada would say how much hotter Canadian broads were then here in the US. I could care less what carn or you think. You are meaningless to me.

All I have to say is that the song "California Girls" is true.

I'm a big boy, I'm all grown up too. Go back to the res.

Loser. You wouldn't know "hotness" if it hit you in the face. I'm just saying her face isn't symmetrical.

Well, we do have a lot more good looking people here on average then in Squaresville (Canada).

You're so hot, in a land-o-lakes sort of way.

I'm gonna have to disagree with you there. Canadian girls have an exotic thing going on :p but since i'm from N. Ireland all foreign girls are pretty hot

Well, thanks for representing a completely baseless, biased, anti-Canadian viewpoint. That's what the thread is about after all...you've served your purpose. Now, if there is nothing further....*boot*
