Being stranded in Finland?
...How great would that be. The only danger is that you´ll probably never return home again, because this place is just so goshdarn neat.
Well, I guess Canada is pretty cool too. Thanks for this, folks.

At least in Canada you can counter such things with moose & squirrel.
But seriously, what was the point to this video and did it really need 5 minutes to make one?
yeah well, we are not really sorry anyway, that's more a rest of canada thing. we lived with catholic guilt for more than 400 years, so we are used to it, it doesnt affect us anymore...gelgamath said:

If you can't be bothered to read previous comments, it's not my fault.
My problem is with the fact that these "jokes" are terribly old, over-used, and have a negative impact on peoples' perception of Canada. And it's not the same for Americans, anyways. You have a home-grown sense of patriotism and nationalism that does not exist in Canada, so a great deal of Canadians are content to allow these things to continue. And they do continue. And continue. And continue! The only time I ever hear "Canada" nowadays is in reference to one of these stereotypes. There's nothing else in the international psyche with regards to Canada, just like the rather common conceptions about Ireland and Japan.
Jokes are fine, if they're balanced by a level of respect, which is lacking in most people who openly mock any nation. As an American, you don't have the same perspective. In fact, many Canadians don't either because they're totally absorbed into American media. It would be like White People viewing Black People as insecure for not liking the "Chicken & Watermelon" stereotype being thrown around.
If french canadians are not canadians, what about the Montreal canadians? (The hockey team)gelgamath said:

I don't blame you for not doing so, though - personally, I already knew that LRR are Canadian, and had thought it was relatively common knowledge. Regardless, I enjoyed it very much as a gentle and clearly affectionate satire.Matt_LRR said:
Also, as a New Zealander, I love the Kiwi reference.
Fantastic. Sorry I couldn't watch it sooner, or faster. Time is stupidly moving at one second per second with a standard deviation of .007 seconds per second.
That is called a Brooklyn sorry.Woem said:LRR is most likely very sorry for this mistakeSamsont said:
Actually lrr are not Americanspheipl said:
Though they live in North America
Which is part of the Americas
Which should make them Americans
Geographically Canadians,
Are certainly Americans
As are Venezuelans,
But not Hawaiians
Of course a word that covers two continents worth of inhabitants
is pretty much useless
unless you often find yourself getting Buenos Aires and British Columbia mixed up.
Wait, that doesn't scan or rhyme. I'm terrible with lyrics.
Ya Im sorry, I know we are all from the same place, and thats why we have such a great sence of humor is because we can make fun of our selves, and I cant belive how great the stuff LRD puts out, keep it up!GrahamS said:We're all Canadian too, you know.sennith_402 said:
We're only making fun of our own
Awesome =) High fives from Tomorrowland! Perhaps you're destined to be the Prophet who will bring knowledge of the True Sorry to our humble nation ;-)Lady Kathleen said:
