BTW, im going to start saying that now XD
I know one thing about Canada and Canadians that has proved true again and again... they are obsessed with what other countries think of them as a nation.
Canada is where "Are You Afraid of the Dark" is from. One of the best shows that used to be on nick.
It is also the home of Three Days Grace, a band i like.
In french class i saw some pictures of places in canada, quebec i think, but i forgot everything i learned in that class XP.
Canada looks like a nice place but im too comfortable here in the US and don't want to move.

Moose are pretty freakin' expensive rides and would be the equivalent of one of those 'sports car' things that you people drive.FargoDog said:
Most people use dogsleds. They are somewhat less reliable and require a lot of maintenance, but if you keep them running smoothly then they will glide you across kilometers of snow covered wasteland.
I live in Winnipeg (or as it is aptly named Winterpeg for its mild -40 degree winter days)
Better wear your toque, it's gonna be frosty!
(No seriously, if you go outside in winter without warm enough clothing you can get frostbite in like 1 minute)
well... not what America knows of Canada, but some of them does, I skipped some of the longer posts, or rather speed read them, since I was getting ashamed of having forgotten so much info about us (mostly dates.. I'm terrible with them). But I do know... or from my province anyway (N.-B.), we have Ketchup flavored chips, and our iced tea are either in cans or powder form. I'm not very constructive I know.. but fun facts I've realized when spending time on the internet chatting about that. Other fun fact.. mentioning that the temperature is minus something seemed to have shocked some of them.
Don't know why some Canadians feel they have to compare to the U.S. so much, differences are quite apparent. They are a nice country that has its domestic affairs in well order (healthcare, economics, and such) and is also pleasant in international diplomacy.
now go up a few posts and look at the Wikipedia page some fine soul postedGrigori361 said:neoman10 said:That is not where the Stormtroopers came from. The Stormtroopers are these guys: http://www.axishistory.com/index.php?id=3078Grigori361 said:Actually well played a fairly large part in both World Wars, you know the "storm troopers" from star wars? The Germans made that term up to refer to us because they considered the the biggest bad asses in the allied army for both wars.Nimbus said:
Of course the US has us outnumbered and outgunned by almost 100 to 1, so it's not like we can fight as much as a nation
and anyways, why would the Canadians be on the Dark side?
"The term "storm trooper" was first used by the Germans in the First World War to describe the Canadian troops that they had to fight against. Canadian troops were most feared by the Germans during the First World War, and the German army always prepared for the worst when an attack was spearheaded by the Canadian army.
The term was then used again by Hitler before the Second World War for his army of soldiers when first forming the National Socialist Party. They were his elite troops, and when his infamous Beer Hall Putsch failed, and some of his storm troopers were killed by police, he forced the German people to honour them and salute every time they walked by a memorial plaque dedicated to them.
The term was used a third time by George Lucas in Star Wars as a name for the white-armour-clad soldiers of the evil Empire. Much like the National Socialist storm troopers, they were trained to show no fear or emotion. "
I don't really have the time to get into a long drawn out debate so I'll just use this quote from here
