Reasons Why Canada Rocks
 
Heres a list i wrote out:

1. We're bigger
2. We don't have major racism problems, but are still the most multicultural nation on earth
3. We're known worldwide to be peacekeepers, not warmakers
4. We don't all live squished together in teeny little houses in cities where you can't even see the sky because of all the smog
5. We know some things about the U.S., whereas they know nothing about us (ever seen the show "talking to Americans?"
6. Even our big cities are clean
7. Here you can walk down the street and say hi to perfect strangers without getting arrested and thrown into an asylum
8. We don't expect people to like us or respect us, but they do. The U.S. seems to have gotten that backwards
9. The beaver is a truly proud and noble animal
10. Canadian beer doesn't taste like polluted water
11. Our nuclear power is safer and cheaper than yours
12. We actually have natural resources
13. Trees are something that can be found everywhere, not just in certain protected areas
14. Our accents don't sound vulgar
15. Our system of government doesn't even remotely resemble Naziism
16. Six feet of snow doesn't slow us down any. Two inches of snow and New York is closed for a week.
17. Everyone in Canada has at least some rudimentary knowledge of what a farm is
18. There's been a woman Prime Minister
19. Tim Hortons. No matter where you go in Canada, you can always get good food at the local Tim Horton's. In the U.S. the best you can do is the International House of Pancakes, or McDonalds.
20. Our flag is original. No other country in the world has a leaf on their flag. How many countries do you see with stars and/or stripes on their flags? It's boring and old.
21. There are more hot Canadians per hundred than there are hot Americans per thousand. Every year when American guys come to my town in the summer they comment on the high number of hot girls here. When I went to Florida last March I saw maybe 2 hot guys the whole trip.
22. Wildlife in Canada does not consist solely of the rats that raid the garbage at night
23. We don't have to buy our drinking water from other countries
24. Acceptance. Canada was the first country in the world to allow homosexual couples to marry, the second to give female equality, and the first to have more than one national language
25. I live here
26. YOUR TURN

WE RULE!

Thank you! :gonk:

Canadian pride.
May we all have a moment of silence, to remember all the reasons why Canada is great.

I have to admit, it's very hard to offend me, but people online
have on more than one occasion by saying rude things about Canada.
Actually, that happened on Mene, and I was so angry that I had to walk away from the computer, then come back was I was calmed down.

I would die for my country.
If Canada needed people to be mardered in order for this country to continue, I'd be the first to give myself up.

God save the Queen!

Interesting Fact:
Apparently the city of Winnipeg (in mid-Canada) has the most attractive females in all of North America.
It's been proven. (though I don't know how ... '__' )

P.S
I recommend that you add SpoonFeed at the end,
I don't want mods getting rid/or moving this thread! ;__;

Is this some attempt to make the us seem liek asses?>.>

Prince Peroxide 02-05-2009 04:00 AM

hahahaha kinda too late for that :P

well we're not the most enthusiastic people when it comes to singing out national anthem but that's because not all of us know the French version when it's played. nah jk

I love being from Canada and this topic should have been made a long time ago

I AM CANADIAN!!!!

However I'd like to point out something I don't like about Canada and that's "mineral ownership". When you buy land in Canada by law you only own 5 feet below your basement and in the U.S. you own down to the earths crust. I kinda think we as Canadians should do the same because there could be some really good stuff in your land such as fresh water and you could have some ownership to that in the U.S.

Go For Canada!
We Rock!

Popcorn Gun 02-05-2009 04:11 AM

You kind of made your self look like a pompous individual, with the genralization and such.
No matter WHERE you go, there will be people that don't take education seriously.
Canada is no exception.
If you can say you've never met an unintelligent Canadian you are a liar, plain and simple.
And how can an ccent sound vulagar?
The thing some people SAY can be vulagr, but an accent?
Uhhhm no....
So New York isn't used to snow, so what?
The United States is diverse geograophically, so the people will react differently to different weather situations. It depends on your area, a lot of snow is normal where I live, our public schools have stayed open when the windshield factor made it -30/lower.
Hot people?
Really?
Physical appearances (hot or not) is all really a matter of prefrence, so that'll vary.
And why shouldn't you expect respect.
It's common courtesy to give respect to another individual when they're talking, unless they've done something to lose it.
When you talk to someone, do you expect them to sneer at you and speak rudely?
Hell no, if you do, you need to work on your self esteem, NO ONE, upon first meeting them should be treated in a rude or inconsiderate fashion.

1. We're bigger
This is a pretty adolescent comment. Everybody knows that bigger isn't always better.
Quote:

2. We don't have major racism problems, but are still the most multicultural nation on earth.
Yes, you do have major racism problems. I've been to the prominent French-speaking areas. Have you watched how they treat English-speaking individuals?
Quote:

3. We're known worldwide to be peacekeepers, not warmakers
I think that the term that you're looking for here is "warmongers". But, I don't really have a whole lot to say here on this matter.
Quote:

4. We don't all live squished together in teeny little houses in cities where you can't even see the sky because of all the smog
You're going to find areas like this in ANY country. Even yours.
Quote:

5. We know some things about the U.S., whereas they know nothing about us (ever seen the show "talking to Americans?"
Oh, we know things about you Canadians, too. Not everybody is as stupid as you think.
Quote:

6. Even our big cities are clean
Quote:

7. Here you can walk down the street and say hi to perfect strangers without getting arrested and thrown into an asylum
Where are you getting your information from? We don't consider strangers talking to each other as dangerous or insane.
Quote:

8. We don't expect people to like us or respect us, but they do. The U.S. seems to have gotten that backwards
I'm not even going to waste my time replying to this one.
Quote:

9. The beaver is a truly proud and noble animal
And the eagle isn't?
Quote:

10. Canadian beer doesn't taste like polluted water
LOL I've got to wonder where you've tasted beer to think that it tastes like that.
Quote:

11. Our nuclear power is safer and cheaper than yours
Ahh, the adolescent "mine's bigger/better than yours". You seem to like this type of remark, since it's the second time that you've used this type of comment.
Quote:

12. We actually have natural resources
So do we. We still have natural gas, wood, coal, oil, and water. Where are you getting your information from?
Quote:

13. Trees are something that can be found everywhere, not just in certain protected areas
You obviously don't know much about the U.S. We have trees all over the place. There are few areas that don't have trees.
Quote:

14. Our accents don't sound vulgar
In what sense do accents make one area better than another? That sounds pretty adolescent...
Quote:

15. Our system of government doesn't even remotely resemble Naziism
Funny, I thought you were comparing Canada and the U.S., not Canada and Germany.
Quote:

16. Six feet of snow doesn't slow us down any. Two inches of snow and New York is closed for a week.
I've been an over-the-road trucker for years now, and I have NEVER seen an area closed for something as simple as two inches of snow (other than California, but we won't get into that since they only see snow once every 10 years or so).
Quote:

17. Everyone in Canada has at least some rudimentary knowledge of what a farm is
LOL There are major farming areas in pretty much every state in the U.S. This is like saying "everybody in Canada has at least heard of an apple".
Quote:

18. There's been a woman Prime Minister
Quote:

19. Tim Hortons. No matter where you go in Canada, you can always get good food at the local Tim Horton's. In the U.S. the best you can do is the International House of Pancakes, or McDonalds.
I guess this means that you've never heard of Bob Evans, Red Lobster, Olive Garden... Should I go on?
Quote:

20. Our flag is original. No other country in the world has a leaf on their flag. How many countries do you see with stars and/or stripes on their flags? It's boring and old.
Again with the "mine's better/bigger" response?
Quote:

21. There are more hot Canadians per hundred than there are hot Americans per thousand. Every year when American guys come to my town in the summer they comment on the high number of hot girls here. When I went to Florida last March I saw maybe 2 hot guys the whole trip.
So, you're trying to say that you're idea of a "hot" person is the standard that everybody in the world should go by? I'm a guy, so I don't really care what other guys look like, but I see women all over the U.S. that I think are "hot", "pretty", "beautiful", or whatever other term you want to use.
Quote:

22. Wildlife in Canada does not consist solely of the rats that raid the garbage at night
I guess you never saw the bears, birds, mountain lions, deer, elk, etc.
Quote:

23. We don't have to buy our drinking water from other countries
We don't have to, either. We still have plenty of natural water sources.
Quote:

24. Acceptance. Canada was the first country in the world to allow homosexual couples to marry, the second to give female equality, and the first to have more than one national language
OK, I honestly don't really have much to say to this one.
Quote:

25. I live here
Good for you! Do you want a cookie for that outstanding feat?
Quote:

26. YOUR TURN
All-in-all, this little "list" of yours was poorly thought out, poorly researched, and even more poorly expressed. Try a little harder next time.

Popcorn Gun 02-05-2009 05:08 AM

Well put.
:' )

Rusalka 02-05-2009 06:27 AM

There's really no topic of conversation here, and merely seems a way to gain easy gold. It will promote nothing but negative remarks and make Canadians seem to be self centered queens.

I'll be locking this up. If you've any complaints please PM me.
