Well, I hope you have fun, and if you can, I'd refrain from speaking french, or generally acting in any way like you have anything to do with the french. While nobody will say anything, or act any differently, a surprising amount of people will dislike you, just for that fact.Tenky said:I'm a French-Canadian who grew up by montreal my whole life... And I can't blame you... most people are die-hard "english" haters... heck, even when i talk to a waiter or something who's native language is english, I can't avoid having some xenophobic asshole giving me a bad look or be told to speak french.
On the other hand... I plan to come visit jolly old England for a month within the next year!
Ok any thoughts on the weird al song? But seriously I live near DC but go Canadiens
LYRICS:
Don't want to be a Canadian idiot
Dont want to be some beer swillin' hockey nut
and do I look like some frost-bitten hosehead?
I never learned my alphabet from A to Zed
They all live on doughnuts and moose meat
and they leave the house without packin' heat
never even bring their guns to the mall.
And you know what else is too funny?
Their stupid monopoly money.
Can't take 'em seriously at all..
Well maple syrup and snow's what they export,
they treat curling just like it's a real sport.
They think their silly accent is so cute,
'can't understand a thing they're talking aboot
[Canadian Idiot lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]
Sure, they got their national health care,
cheaper meds, low crime rates, and cleaner air..
Then again well they got Celine Dion..
Eat their weight in Kraft macaroni
and dream of driving a zamboni
all over Saskatchewan.
Don't want to be a Canadian idiot.
Wont figure out the temperature in Celsius.
See the map they're hovering right over us!
Tell you the truth it makes me kinda nervous..
Always hear the same kind of story,
break their nose and they'll just say 'sorry'.
Tell me what kind of freaks are that polite?
It's gotta mean they're all up to something!
So quick before they see it coming,
time for a pre-emptive strike.

Talking to a girl right now in Canada haha! What's with Canada being so popular lately. I used to never think about it and now its everywhere. In discussion, in my personal life, every other person I seem to meet. So my question is...What's up with Canada being the hot topic these days?
Honestly, Harper is still less of a moron than Ignatief, Layton, May or Duceppe...Well, maybe not May.blue spartan 11 said:
"Layton: Harper, you should spend this surplus money to help people!"
Harper: Fuck that, I'm gonna pay off this debt to get ready in case we have a recession.
Layton: Pff, recession. That's proposterous!
*Que Financial Crisis*
Harper: I FUCKING CALLED IT!
Layton: Well...I would have called it sooner if I'd been in charge. So nuegh"
Our Prime minister, though a member of the Conservative Party is still considerably farther left than most Members of the US Democratic Party. He is responsible for filling vacant senate seats, and no, our external debt is actually about $20,000 per capita short of the US'.oppp7 said:
I am damn impressed, sir. The only error I can see is that the 1982 act was actually called the Constitution Act, though I have on occasion heard it refered to as the Canada Act due to the effect it had on Canadian nationalism. Excellent job though.Vek said:
That was the first time they used it to refer to their own soldier in ww1, though admittedly it IS a technical mistranslation, it's actually "assault troopers", or some-such, sadly I don't speak fluent German so I'm not sure. That unit was a response to us, Ever heard of Vimy Ridge? America couldn't take it, England couldn't, and don't even get me started on the French. I won't get into details, but after rehearsing the battle plan for about a month we took it in a matter of hours. First time all our units were given free rein to plan the battle (at the time we were still a British Colony, of sorts)emeraldrafael said:Lies. Storm Troopers where the german special forces. They didnt use it for Canadians. So, Canadians are.. well, not dumb persay, but misinformed?Grigori361 said:Actually well played a fairly large part in both World Wars, you know the "storm troopers" from star wars? The Germans made that term up to refer to us because they considered the the biggest bad asses in the allied army for both wars.Nimbus said:
Of course the US has us outnumbered and outgunned by almost 100 to 1, so it's not like we can fight as much as a nation
Speaking of details, wasn't the commander of the battle British? And weren't about half of the Canadian Corps, well, non-Canadian?Grigori361 said:That was the first time they used it to refer to their own soldier in ww1, though admittedly it IS a technical mistranslation, it's actually "assault troopers", or some-such, sadly I don't speak fluent German so I'm not sure.

Whoawhoawhoawhoawhoa..... Whoa. There's bagged milk in Canada? Where? I've lived here my entire life and I've never even heard of this, is it something that's unique to Southern Canada or a specific Province or something?CorruptCor3 said:
I'm from the Northwest Territories, by the way.
Anyways... I know that America had to rebuild the White House at one point in both nation's early years because we marched down there and burned it down... Or something.
Canada? Isn't that America's 51st state?
I kid, I kid.
From what I know it's sorta like America, just with a more European flavor. And apparently aren't big dicks like they are down here in the states.
