F... Canada

For the record we haven't had a Juno award (similar to oscars/grammy) featuring a song.. SCREW AMERICA like you had a few years back for the Oscars.

Funny, all my Canadian friends love that song and know the lyrics from memory better than I do. It must have something to do with their possession of a sense of humor. I've warned them that if they keep displaying this in public they'll be obligated to leave home and make big money here.

You want to know why I know less about the world and the world knows more about me?

Because I am more important.[/quote]


Actually, you're not.

That said...considering that most of the world doesn't approve of Bush's war, I can't really say that this surprises me. Still, I'm not going to worry unless Bush wins again in November. If he does, I'm afraid of what the next four years will bring...


No actually I am.[/quote]

And the reason we both know I am right is when the US goes to war its not like El Salvador invaded Hondouras.

And who gives a crap about the rest of the worlds approval?

Are they US citizens?

Do they pay taxes?

Please.

Screw the third world.[/quote]

Hate to post in this damn topic, but this is interesting.

OK, so if the US does not have to care about the rest of the world's approval, why did Iraq need the US's for the way they ran their society? I not saying one is better than the other, but that's a nice double standard ya got there.

For those with the perceptual powers to actually understand the lyrics the song was really about people seekin ga scapegoat when the problem facing them is their own fault. Canada was just a convenient target since any use of Canada as a villlain is automatically funny to its general combined inoffensiveness and ineffectualness.
 
The problem with this whole thread is its about what Canadians think.

Who really gives a crap what Canadians think? They're good for 2 things - beer and.....hm... wait, make that one thing.

Yeah, the only things that come from behind the Maple Curtain are beer, hockey, maple syrup, and mounties. When all 4 are combined, its kind of like Voltron. Except it says hoser a lot.

VANCOUVER -- Where would the world be without green garbage bags, zippers and ginger ale?

Canadians have made some wonderful, weird and sometimes dubious contributions to humankind.

Were it not for Canadians, the world would be devoid of paint rollers, snowmobiles and five-pin bowling.

There would be no electric organ, green ink or multiplex movie theatres.

And yes, the recipe for Nanaimo bars comes from the British Columbian town of the same name.

Without Canada, time as we know it would end. Sir Sanford Fleming, a Scottish immigrant to the New World, devised the world's 24-zone standard time system.

"Canadians aren't boring in the least," says Will Ferguson, award-winning author of Canadian History for Dummies and Why I Hate Canadians.

Politically, the country has staked its claim in the "radical middle," he says, but don't let that fool you.

Canadians are diverse, eclectic and eccentric, he says. And pragmatic. Rather than wither in the winter cold, Canadians pulled the toques down over their ears and invented snowmobiles, the electric car heater and the snowblower.

Thank Canada for toboggans.

Canada comes from the native words meaning big village -- much better than Efisga, Tuponia or Colonia. Those names were proposed for the motherland during debates on Confederation.

It is arguably the most ethnically diverse country in the world.

Canada has the highest population of Icelanders outside Iceland and the most Italians outside Italy.

"It's such a culturally diverse and interesting country that has geography and history and people that come from every corner of the globe," says Heritage Minister Sheila Copps. "That's what makes it really unique."

Unique is one way to put it.

Each month in each province there is at least one report of a UFO.

Of all the road accidents that occur in Canada, 0.3 per cent involve a moose. And a Calgary tour company offers a course in igloo building.

Maybe such madness is what makes comedian Rick Mercer feel so lucky to be Canadian.

"I just always feel . . . that we won the Lotto and anyone who was born in Canada or has come to Canada, you won the Lotto," says Rick Mercer, star of CBC's hit comedies Made in Canada and This Hour Has 22 Minutes.

"You know, Canadians don't take themselves that seriously, and quite often we're self-deprecating and that's a character trait I admire greatly in an individual and so I admire it in a nation," says Mercer, who will spend Canada Day working on Made In Canada, albeit from a hammock in his back yard.

Canadians may not take themselves seriously, but they do some seriously strange stuff.

Canada holds the world record for the highest stunt freefall for a 1,100 foot plunge from the CN Tower.

The world's oldest snowboarder hits the slopes in Canada. Wong Yui Hoi, of British Columbia, took up the sport at 75 according to the folks at Guiness.

Canadian Jack McKenzie, 77, is the oldest person to ski to the north pole.

Those months spent with scant daylight hiding from frostbite may go a long way to explain some other Canadian, uh, accomplishments.

Canada boasts the longest gum wrapper chain in the world - 10,387 metres- according to the Guiness book of world records, and the most push-ups in an hour - 3,416.

Canadians hold the record for pogo-stick jumping and the largest hug. They baked the world's largest cherry pie, made the world's largest block of cheese and hold the world kissing title for the most couples smooching simultaneously.

Maybe it's not cabin fever, but brain freeze. A 7-Eleven store in Winnipeg sells more Slurpees per capita than anywhere else in the world.

Canadians eat more Kraft dinner and Albertans more Jello. Details were not available on the favoured flavour.

Canadians have such an imagination they try to take credit for basketball and the telephone, says Ferguson.

"They'll claim the telephone as a Canadian invention. Alexander Graham Bell was born in Scotland, educated in Scotland and most of his research took place in Boston . . . but that doesn't matter because he lived in Canada," Ferguson says.

Yet Canada claims basketball because James Naismith was born in Canada, although he came up with the sport while living in the U.S.

But there's no denying that Toronto's Joe Shuster was co-creator of that greatest of American heroes, Superman.

And who else but the first nation of hockey could have invented Plexiglas, the goalie mask or the referee whistle?

Since beer is practically a sport unto itself in Canada, Vancouver's Steve Pasjack came up with those built-in, tuck-away handles for beer cases in 1957.

And women can blame Canada. Montreal's Canadelle company invented the push-up bra in 1964 and Dennis Colonello invented the abdominizer in 1984.

Our greatest achievement?

"I think Canada's greatest achievement is Canada, just the existence of this country, this wildly diverse, huge, rich, quirky, wonderful country," Ferguson says.

Yeah, I need to remember my warped sense of moralism where I actually believe good is better than evil. fuck me.

Never said that, just said that if you call someone evil you probably Believe you are better than them. And yes I realize their are idiots out there who think it is cool to be 'evil' and would think of it as a complement.
 
Canada is great in the summer, no 98 degree days with 98 % humidity.. one place where the canadian exchange rates helps..
 
fuck the middle east
There's too many problems
They just get in the way
We sure could live without them
They hijack our planes
They raise our oil prices
We'll kill them all and have a ball
And end their fuckin' crisis
BEIRUT, LEBANON-Won't exist once we're done
LIBYA, IRAN-We'll flush the bastards down the can
SYRIANS and SHIITES-Crush their faces with our might
Then Israel and Egypt can live in peace without these dicks

"i hate those candians with thier beedie little eyes"- kyles mom.

america is fairly evil though. the children are who need to be taught to get ready for a change. my generation was - born late seventies and early eighties - but the 85ers got it twisted.
 
woot, i agree, Fyck Canada.

i was playing socom II yesterday and there were 2 Canadians in the room talking shit about America.

they were talkin about how 911 was the funniest thing they had ever seen. and how it was cool when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, and that we were pussies for dropping an A-Bomb on them instead of going in their and fighting like "men".

lets just say after a little bit of name calling and a good bit of TKing on the part of me and my friend, they left lmao..

God knows Canada has done so much to make the world free.

For crying out loud, its a crock of shit Ipsos Reed Poll. They mean NOTHING. They also had a poll where they said "if elections were held today, the Liberals would win in a landslide." THAT poll was taken 2 days after Dion won Liberal Leadership, and the poll was almost ALL supporters or tied to Liberal voters. I'm not saying there arent stupid people up here who enjoy bashing both U.S. and Canada (trust me, that makes me mad also), but you cant listen to those stupid irrelevant polls. They are a waster of time.
 
Personally these Canada people are right. I have lived here and people have hated me for no reason and picked on like forever. Then I explore the world and find that people dislike me since I have no money.

Again the thing is America is going execute a leader of another country and the country is going down the shist hole.

This whole thing started with the dirty Zionist scum who just happen to be a group of Jews who wanted a state of there own. They did it the rotten bastards. They and there dipstinking little club screwed the Middle East up. If want to blame somebody blame the zionist and what they did in 1939.

LIberate Palisteine I say we should do and kick the zionist scum out and reclaim everybodies lives and land.

Egypt lost land in this also when they did took over Palisteine. Egypt reclaimed missing each others.

Also Canada is a pretty sweet deal. The only thing that people fail to realize is the laws in Canada and ther epolicy on internet freedoms.

Thinking about America is hell the way things went for us. I go outside all I can see is the damage the Zionists did to our fair country.

Remember the Twenties people and remember them well. That was Amerika at it's greatest moment before the Great Depression, WWI, and WWII along with the Gulf War, Desert Storm, Vietnam and Korea.

Canada is telling the truth about America. We probably have a couple of Seproth clones running around but we don't see them.

On that topic there is alot of Russian people in America.
