Why do people always make fun of Canada? It actually looks like a fine place to live, statistically speaking.

Because were different, and so long as were different we get made fun of.

I didn't think we got made fun of that much though, anybody care to tell me how wrong I am?

I don't make fun of Canada.

I DO make fun of its Southern brother, (ironically) North America. But then everyone does that.

Every country is mocked in some way or another, in the end - its just what people do for a laugh.

Maybe it's because we all live in igloos and eat whale blubber. I mean, who wants to do that?

I've been to Canada before and I thought it looked like a pretty decent place. I don't know why people always make fun of it, it has BIOWARE!

I've always found that the whole Canada/ America thing can be relatable to our New Zealand/ Australia thing. Because we're so close it's just a bit of friendly competition, nothing too bad.

I live in Holland so the whole Canada jokes are lost on me.

We make fun of belgium, though. That's our "Canada".

Because their cops wear bright red coats and ride horses to work!!! And bears.... OH GOD the bears!!!

OT: Actually I love Canada, I lived there for two years when I was younger and grew up about 10 miles from the border.

I don't get it either. It seems so nice.

If I was to move to another country, it would probably be Canada. Seems a nice place to live - one of the more stable countries, also appears to have a reasonably similar attitude to Australia. Plus I have a British citizenship, which I believe means it would be very easy to move there (to live) if I wanted to.

*No real offense meant here*
Because they have almost NOTHING that makes them somewhat relevant to anyone?
They aren't a world power, they don't export anything in large amounts I.E. China/Mexico
They have no great inventions or discoveries.

In short, they are the weird chubby kid on the play ground that is the world, they are noticeable enough to get picked on, but not enough to be of any actual interest to anyone.... Plus they are Canadian, and be honest here, who DOESN'T like making fun of them?

Go to 1:45 (or watch the entire thing as it's hilarious)

But I seriously doubt many people have an actual bone to pick with Canada. As far as I can tell we don't really have anything that people could really get angry about. Aside from the RIAA who dislike our awesome piracy laws.

That's not true. Canadians have invented tons of things; the Space Arm on the space station, we create the world's best satellites, and we also stopped America from putting weapons on the satellites back in WW2. We also made the Avro Arrow right after WW2 which was one of the best jet planes of its time (although it was soon after abruptly halted, the reasons for which are unclear and piss tons of people off).

The whole world should make fun of Belgium.
