Explaining Canadians to Americans

[fanofavs]

European-like cities in the eastern provinces. Incredible mountains in the west. Bizzare cold in the winter. Hokey accents. Toronto urban hicks. Great comedians. Polar bears. Seals. Ice roads. Ice fishing. Beer they for some reason think is superiour to Americans, though both suck. Porn star recruitment ground. BIG on the map, small population = Low self esteem. Bad health care if you're really sick. Great health care if you're 'mediocre' sick. Some good music but let's face it, rock and roll was a southern US invention. National identity is 'we're not America' and we hate them unless we're around them.

Most laughable Canadian myth/urban legend. 'wear a Canadian flag on your backpack' if you're American travelling overseas.

What good music is that ? The Band ? I like them.

Great health care if you are "mediocre" sick..that hit the nail on the head- or emergency departments are full of people with the sniffles...yours are full of later case cancer patients--who come to be rejected because they could not afford to come earlier when there was a chance for survival.

Nonsense. Absolute nonsense.

YAH- it's all rhetorical on my part- Canadians are like that - AT LEAST WE KNOW WHEN WE ARE FULL OF NONSENSE- you do not and take yourself seriously- so who is more dellusional- a canadian or a Merican?

And I follow to ask if you wanna be in my rock band after hearing the great musical tone and ear that is your whistling..nice meeting you- and I will be more up to being more useful in the future..today was not my best work--cheers!

WE do far to much polite explaining - either they get it or they don't..to expect understanding in any capacity to self serving - self sustaining and selfish America...is to expect to much from this giant with the clay feet in a rain storm---why bother..either they take an interest and want to learn or they do not- at least BC knows that their greatest neighbor and friend deserves an ear at times- if that elephant would stop rolling over while in our bed we might fair better.
