I think people expect us to be like the U.S, but we're not. We're smaller, more quiet, and more peaceful. I think that confuses people. Then...what do I know? I live in Canada.
Its national anthem is frankly terrible.
O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
It just doesn't scan. It is all over the place.

How do you figure? I mean, all of our politicians are spectacularly useless, but Harper is some kind of villainous robot sent to undermine our great nation through a vindictive campaign against gay marrige, prorogue of parliament, stupid sweaters and his eerily vacant, emotionless smile.Asturiel said:

That was one of the few funny jokes from a not so funny stand up that I saw once.
And I don't make fun of Denmark in it self.I make fun of that god awful language..I speak it to some extent,so I know what I'm talking about.
Have you ever noticed that during any kind of weather his hair stays perfectly still. Also the bastard needs to stop shutting down the factory when he fears a take over. And I know all of our politicians are useless but at least we can go back to the party we likedMatt_LRR said:
canada is my homeland. I love my country but i do know why some people joke about us. However first i want to list a few of the labels people give.
*ahem*
( the following is not my opinion)
Canadians are polite, nice, boring, and over all friendly
Americans think we love them
we live in igloos
we know how to icefish, camp, cut down a tree in two chops
we can survive for EVER in the wild
now, i belive that americans make fun of us because they know that if we get all pissed and "we're gonna go to war with you!" they will totally kick our asses. Then the other countries just started following america.

What do you mean by "people"? If you mean Americans, probably because Canadians talk in a very distinctive manner which we consider funny.
All I personally know is what people have said about it, which amounts to wide generalizations that may or may not be true. Also, they have a really bad health care system - this I know because my dad spent two years there doing humanitarian work - but I don't think most people are thinking about that when they mock the country.
Personally, I prefer to mock France. I know more about that country, so it makes it easier. Japan is also great to poke fun at.

Canadian's don't even say "aboot", but we are guilty of saying eh.Akira Fumi said:

I don't have a story, per se, but my girlfriend does:
When she was teaching English in Japan, she was working with some Canadians, who were constantly bashing on her inflection, grammar, and other patterns of speech. When the guy who was in charge of the program sat in on their class, he only had good things to say about her, while he said that the Canadians had no clue what they were doing.
She's had a vendetta against them ever since.
