I don't really see much that's wrong with Canada it's a beautiful place to live, especially in British Colombia, the landscape is amazing. Only thing i don't like about Canada is their government. They have a bit too much control over things. But other then that, it's awesomez
Oh yeah. That's a good one. Worlds first telegrah radio message to go across the atlantic. Was sent from....... You guessed it. CANADA. Also were a member of the G8. If that dosen't make us a world power, I don't know what dose.JEBWrench said:
All in all, Canada is like the unrepresented little brother. Where everybody's so focused on the great things the big brother is doing.

Sorry, I don't even know why I'm laughing per se, but I, in all honesty, did.
It's probably the dig at the government, and mostly because of the irony of claiming that the government has too much control, when the government in power is right-wing (or at least right wing on the canadian spectrum).
Canada's awesome, and the lot of you yanks would be privaledged to live here. Srsly.

Your welcome
Although in all seriousness that was the natives and the loyalists who would go on to form Upper and Lower Canada, who then would form the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, who would sign a constitution with Nova Scotia and...fuck the eastern provinces blend into one. Fuck....NEW BRUNSWICK, thats it.
Funny since were quite the Liberal country, it's not that hard but Ignatieff is failing at one of the easiest jobs in the world.Matt_LRR said:
Being better than Steven Harpor.
I think I can illuminate a few of the (rational) reasons behind the (irrational) hatred of Canada.
1. Politically, we operate on social democratic principles, meaning that the government's job is to take care of its citizens (within reason). This is done through public health care, the welfare state, etc. That means that every American knee-jerk right-winger and his dog calls us socialist commies for no other reason then uninformed dickishness.
2. Sealing is an important part of the economy for the northern and eastern provinces. Which means (American) pro-animal nuts like PeTA stalk and harass our politicians, for the sake of the cute, widdle sealies.
3. Our comedians are funnier. You know its true.
4. Canada has been dragging its feet as far as the environment goes. The rage here is valid, we're just as pissed off at our politicians as you (Americans) are.
5. Canadians think we're better than Americans. Really, it's a national identity. Don't believe me? "Vancouver Winter Olympics Men's Hockey." "Rick Mercer's Talking to Americans." Look either up.
However, there is a greater evil in the Great White North/America's Hat. It is the monster that resides within Prime Minister Stephen Harper's sweater. Seriously, Google "Harper's Sweater" it's good for a laugh.
Edit: Was briefly considering posting a counter-thread "Hate for America" but...the last thing we need is for the Escapist servers to go boom.

I think people expect us to be like the U.S, but we're not. We're smaller, more quiet, and more peaceful. I think that confuses people. Then...what do I know? I live in Canada.
Its national anthem is frankly terrible.
O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
It just doesn't scan. It is all over the place.
