Yes. I've lived in Canada.

Really? Personally, I thought they were a bit more "Kingston, Ontario".

I laugh at them, too.

That is something else I laugh at.

Yes, I know the feeling. As I said, when I look at you honestly, I have to
laugh, too.

This is nonsense. Anyone who has seen such films as "Don't drink your juice in
the hood", etc. knows that we have a very good sense of humor about ourselves.
We also are able to laugh when other countries insult us, something Canadians
are incapable of. They have too big a chip on their shoulders.

Hey fuck-face, I am acutally from Canada. I got out because I didn't want to
have to fuck a moose, like the rest of you. Still, I go back once in awhile,
and I laugh at your pathetic lives. Not only is there no such thing as Canadian
culture, there is really no such thing as Canada. Face it, canuck, you are all
just Americans with no jobs and bad accents

But I'll bet you can't name it.

James, Faulkner, Eliot, Pound, Buck, Steinbeck, Whitman...the list is endless.

But I am not surprised you can't name more than Hemingway and Poe. I know how
bad your education system is.

Me? No. I sort of figure that the best leader for Canada is Bill Clinton.

*many laughs* When I was up in your shitty country in December, the people
seemed pretty bitter about Chretien's inability to quell the seperatism in
Quebec.

As for killing leaders, what about that little knife attack, hmm? Lucky
Chretien's wife is a light sleeper. Too bad the mounties meant to guard him
aren't. Sheesh, typical canadian competence....

This is absolute nonsense. Est-ce que tu parles francais? Je ne pensais pas...

Fact is, Canadians are even less bilingual than Americans. Me, I am not
bilingual. I am quadro-lingual. I find alot of Americans like me.

Yeah, that's why you have such strict environmental standards...much stricter
than California...

Hey, eh, like, we're not Americans. That means, eh, we can drink Molson in
public and cause trouble, because no one hates us....

Exactly. Because even if an American patriot is inbred and brainwashed (all
three of them) he still has something to be proud of. What does a Canadian have
to be proud of? "Hey, eh, we produced the great Wayne Gretzky...but he went to
the US...but we have 'Kids in the Hall'...but they've all moved to the
States..."

>Canadian patriotism is at least more sincere,
>we actually know what we are patriotic about, whereas you yanks are just
>patriotic to whatever the government tells you.

Yeah. I've seen Canadian patriotism. It usually begins with the sentence "We
aren't like those Americans because we are XYZ", where XYZ are lies and
half-truths. We, on the otherhand, are patriotic because we have a proud
history. We took control of our own country, and bent it into the greatest
nation the world has ever seen. You're just leating yours float down the
Saint-Laurence to oblivion and disillusion....
