Yes Canadians are smug, and Americans are arrogant, violent, and retarded.  Brits are rude and have terrible food.  We all got our faults.

America invented wokeness, SJWs, microaggressions etc.  Thanks for the exports.

We may be rude motherfucker but this meme about bad food is at least 50 years out of date.

it's typically Csnadian insecurity about Canadian origins

it manifests a dual America & Britain Derangement Syndrome

Canadians fear & loathe Americans, while denying that Canadians are in fact British

Canadian culture is an inherent fallacy

it is a culture based in denialism

Canadians feel bound to prove a negative

prove you are not American, prove you are not British

a fool's errand in the end, but this is the nature of Canada

no, that's only Quebec, they are not Canadians, they are the Quebecois

the national dish of Anglo-American Canada is arguably pizza, same as in America

[Dougie93]

bear in mind that "Canada" is a French translation of an Algonquin word

the Quebecois of Novelle France did not consider themselves to be "Canadians"

the Canadians were the Indians

the Quebecois considered themselves to be French then, just as they do now

and the French do embrace them as such, although the Parisien French view them as being like Hillbillies, Hicks

[Dougie93]

also bear in mind that the French did not even come here to conquer in 1603

they came to spread the Roman Catholic faith to the savages of the New World

the Indians were the dominant force on the ground, they were not subservient, they in fact terrorized the French

but being Missionaries, the French didn't let that stop them

and over time, the Indians started to come around, the Indians started to embrace Jesus Christ as their saviour

So Canada's national dish is either French or Italian.

At least roast beef and Yorkshire pudding is British.

when you have no culture of your own

you fill the vacuum with multiculturalism

to pretend to have an identity independent of other nations

that's Canada for you

fake country with an identity crisis

trying to fill the void with vacuous slogans and symbols

to erase it's real history which shows it to simply be a small part of a larger a whole

not the independent nation it imagines itself to be

wishful thinking is a helluva drug

my family embraced roast beef & yorkshire pud as our dish as well

because we are British, British North Americans, since 1757, press ganged at Liverpool to jump ship at Halifax

my family has lived in Hants County Nova Scotia ever since

they didn't even call themselves "Canadians", if you asked, they would say they were from Nova Scotia

[Yzermandius19]

this is all part of Canada being anti-American

in order to one up America

at least in it's own mind

Canada can't simply be a British colony

that has now become an American protectorate

it has to be it's own independent nation like America

only better and not American

 

this is the basis of the fake Canadian identity

a lie that they invented

to make themselves feel better

though it has no bearing on reality

and is clearly anti-historical af

a myth if ever there was one

but a shitty myth, with no central narrative

just a series social history vignettes

and often boring ones at that

in broad strokes, Canada really just refers to Ontario & Quebec

the Guardians of Confederation in Ontario, trying to keep the French in, by keeping the Americans out & the Indians down

Western Canada for example was not even settled by Canadians

Western Canada was settled by English & Scots expats directly from the UK at the turn of the 20th century

they came in great waves to Western Canada, and it was they who charged into the Great War for Britain

this is how Western Canada is so different from the east

[Dougie93]

the priggishness of Canadians is Victorian in origin

it's a Victorian snobbishness, sense of moral superiority

Canada is like Victorian Britain frozen in time, in the face of the American menace at the gates

basically what I was taught in the woke public education indoctrination camp

is that Canada is like America, a nation that declared it's independence from Britain

because they are better than Britain

they just did it the calm and rational way, unlike those unruly Americans to the south

because they are better than America

this is how Canada's fake history internalizes it's anti-British and anti-American attitudes

and asserts it Victorian sense of moral superiority to both

exactly, Anglo American is the best of both worlds

the key is not to get bogged down about  being "Canadian" which is actually a French thing

Lets not forget wholly beef, fish and chips, deep fried mars bars, or should i say deep fried everything from eggs, beacon to toast, Your army cooks are not very creative when it comes to cooking English dishes  long as it is deep fried... But what they lacked in cooking skills they made up for in being excellent warriors.

the Canadian Army nickname for the British Army being the Shit Eaters

although I guess we weren't technically the "Canadian Army" at the time

Canadian Forces Force Mobile Command ?

I can't even remember what Ottawa called us anymore

a token defense isn't actually defending Canada from America

tripwire at best

Canada was not worth defending and couldn't be defended

even if they thought it was worth defending, which they didn't

India on the other hand, the British fought two world wars to prevent from being cut off from it

the difference in priority between a real defense of India and a token defense of Canada

says it all when it comes to how highly valued defending Canada was to the British after the American Civil War

Britain and the US almost went to war over the San Juan Islands. Both had troops stationed on San Juan for years until the dispute was mediated by Germany in the 1870's.

The British Indian Army was separate from the British army and composed of native Indian personnel. Relatively very few British regulars were based in India. Prior to the 1857 Mutiny, the Indian Army was the company army of the British East India Company. .During WW2 it became both the largest volunteer and largest mercenary army in history. The threat to India during the 19th century was the Russian Empire. Britain was still in the business of colonizing in Burma and Malaya at that time which was done primarily by Indian Army troops. Indian army troops were also used extensively in East Africa and provided the bulk of British forces in East Africa during WW1.

One of the reasons for the American Revolution was Britain's insistence that Americans should start paying something toward their own defence.

I have actually cooked for the British Army at STANTA including for Prince Harry when he was there with the Marines.

I didn't resort to deep frying everything and regularly got comments like ''best food since joining the army'' in the comments book.

I will admit that I was perhaps the exception rather than the norm.

In defence of my less conscientious fellow cooks I will say that the average squaddie didn't have the most sophisticated palate.  

The food in the officer's and Sgt's messes was generally of a higher standard.

kind of

the British wanted America to pay more for it's defense

but then America was like, sure we'll pay, but we want more control over our own defense

let us of the leash, no taxation without representation

then Britain was like, on second thought, no guns for you, we got this

then they try to take them

and America wasn't having that

boom, American Revolution

gun grabbing was America's red line

that Britain thought they could get away with crossing

to stop a Revolution before it stated

but instead resulted in a self fulfilling prophecy

From what I understand, in many regiments the Sgt's mess was the best of the bunch in the British army. Officers  coveted an invite to the Sgt's mess.
