A nice flag. Hopefully the country is also nice -- I've never been in Canada, but I plan to visit Alberta in November. I've been told that the Canadian climate is not too different from Russian. Unfortunately I won't be able to see the examples of the Victorian architecture which I like. Maybe next time.

And I'd like to travel from one coast to another by the Canadian Pacific Railway someday...

And as a Canadian, you are the gravest threat to human life to ever exist. You gawdamm people with your reasonable public discourse, peacable foreign policy, broadly available healthcare, expansive natural preserves, and fucked-up football rules. You people must be stopped.

And the Canadian flag can't help but make me think of home, and people stitching it to backpacks on their trips through Europe.

Women's hockey? That's not a sport until drunken fans start taking up the section behind the other team's bench while heckling, fighting, and insulting the refs. ;)

Yeah, I love seeing Canadians in Europe... they're so cute trying to not be American, even though they're just Americans that don't get enough sunlight and have to deal with a strange branch of the French. :D

(BTW: I've seen *all* nationalities act badly while on vacationing. That includes Americans in Europe, French and Brits in New York, and even Poles in Prague.)

Dont listen to that propaganda! Its NOT free!

oh, and I see red and white when I look at our flag.

I think the term "Free Health Care" refers to the fact that whether you walk into a hospital ER to receive care for a fractured limb, or you're staying in for a month due to heart surgery, you don't have to pay (directly) for any of it. It isn't "free", and the money does come from tax dollars, but there's a difference between paying, say, thirty bucks a month in taxes to health care specifically, then to walk in and pay thousands of dollars to have a cast put on your leg.

...crummy beer (sorry guys, your beer does blow)...QUOTE]

Hey man, our beer RULES. It's much better than the bubbly American horse piss that they try to pass off as "beer":D. Now, in comparision to some European beers (mostly the German ones), yes, we do pale in comparison...still, Labbat Blue rules (to hell with sell-out Molson:upyours:)!

[QUOTE=German Nightmare]I've always liked Canada. They're the "better" North Americans ;) :p

Ooooh yeah:), couldn't have said it better myself, and from an outsider's perspective it's all the more sweet.

Oh, and the flag. I think of justice, equality, prosperity, freedom, and brotherhood/sisterhood. Not to mention all of those who, over our centuries-old history, have built this nation through their toiling and hard work. God bless our blue-collar departed souls.
