And you've got East Coast Celtic music to export.
So we have that and beer going for us. Oh, and gypsum.
HAHAHA Good show! So very true, love the part about the money!Chivirac said:Psssssh we still have wood and hydro and fish and....awwwww bugger....ummmmm maple syrup and rednecks...how bout snow, can we export snow for money?
But yeah I'm in Quebec, lived in the most French Quebec area of Quebec for years and rest assured tourists, not all of us hate you anglos, just generally the ones around Western Montreal for a few reasons which I won't explain as I'd rather not bore you to tears
As for our money...You can't hate it! It's like super gay pride cash man
Oh and for whoever mentionned the territories, they're territories and not provinces because the rest of Canada came to the conclusion that we don't love them enough to give them the powers of a province XD
And it's true not all french canadians hate you square headed anglophone idiots, who lack the basic brain function required to learn french.
I'm just kidding I love you anglos! (C'est pas vrai, je les haie avec une crisse de passion. Il me font franchemant chier!) hehehe...
(From Ontario personally, so I get the Quebec hate too! Even if I'm French Canadian [first language and all!] The bastards seem to think that they're not just superior to the english, but that any other French Canadian isn't as good as a Quebecer...)
Sorry as a colombian, i unfortunately have never come across to much canadian history fun facts as much, all i know is the ten provinces that one guy listed off, i am shamed now for my best friend a while back was canadian, ah! Jean Pierre, you quite possibly albino bastard.
Not everyone out of quebec speaks exclusive english eitherxxcloud417xx said:HAHAHA Good show!

though you probably know that.Just for anyone who might think so.
I was in French immersion until grade 10
I mostly like the language because the word for 10 is actually Dix.
And then there's New Brunswick...
I'm curious as to why America wanted to invade Canada in the first place. The shit we had to go through to live here back then... :S
Plus then you would have had to make fun of yourselves
Yes, it does suck, but I understand the reasoning behind it too. Actually I haven't seen any U.S. money in about a year so I haven't noticed/don't remember anything strange about the 50s.Weener said:That sucks, cause your government is already starting to turn your money colorful... haven't you noticed the pinkishness in your fifties? Just a matter of time
P.S. I am from the west of Canada and we hate the damned frenchies... us westerners have been segregated and exploited way more than quebec, but they ***** the loudest and get more stuff cause of it.
I learned it from Terence and Phillip. I can never get the farts to stay on key though.nokelso said:
learned your history from the english canadian side right ?, let's correct this one...
Several small villages were burned down as well in the years 1837 and 1838. The leader of this revolution were hang.In upper canada (now ontario) there was another rebellion lead by english people that were sick of have a governement that wasnt reponsable (the couldnt vote laws.) After that Lord durham came here, and united upper and lower canada, in a open effort to assimilate the french canadian. And he also gave the responsible governement. So it wasnt a polite demand...
around 1849, the capital was Montreal, but after the governor decided to give money to innocent that have their house burned in the 1837 rebelions in quebec (a similar law have been oted a years before in ontario, the give money to people there who had suffer some domages in the english rebellion without a trouble) The english newspaper The gaxette ask to their readers to gather and protest against what would be a french political domination. and they burned down the parlement.
The economical power of the nation was kept out of the french ahdns to be sure to have cheap labor to bring money to the anglos. that changed unly around 1960.
By the way. back in the 1800's there was no french canadian. only canadians and british. a canadian was always french. That said, when people wrote the candian anthem, what did you think they had in mind ? why do you think the english version is not the same as the french one, and only few people know the rest of that song, which clearly show that the canadian anthem wasnt made for the english...
And canada was created in blood, it's not that quiet nation people want to believe it is...
The english invasion force, deported the acadians, try to do one of the first genocide of the history. the reason was that their land was good for agriculture. they also gived away blankets with small pox virus in to to wipe out the natives. The english governement decided to let the french canadian keep their ways, but they wouldnt not have access to the governement because they would need to denied their religion to have a job there. basically, they were keeping french canadian as cheap labor, not by kindness. at several occasion, governors have declare that the french canadians has to be eliminated, but they never did.historybuff said:
a few years before 1837, french candian managed to get a majority of elected representatives, but since the governement wasnt really formed by those representatives, they just ignored them. The governor just disolved the chamber when they were trying to pass laws that he wouldnt approve. A group of french candian start a armed revolt. The governor sent the army to get them. They had no really chance, because they were vastly outnumbered and outgunned. even if they won a battle or two, they were massacred. in St-Eustache, they retreated into the church. the british army simply burned down the church to kill them.

I don't know much about canada I'm afraid. american teachers just like to tell us about how awesome we were in WWII and like to forget all the bad crap we do. >_>
I know that canada has cheaper drugs than we do and the Quebec people like to pretend they're french instead o north american.

I know you guys make a good hat for America...
In all seriousness, I know that you guys like your milk in bags (for whatever reason). You like hockey. You guys make bacon and syrup. I also know that Canada might as well be two separate countries: Quebec and everyone else.

Honestly, No. So as an apology I shall now spend tomorrow reading up about our northern buddies.
Um, I dunno where your getting your milk buddy but ours comes in cartons and jugs.... the only time i've ever seen milk in a bag was at restaurants with giant milk dispensers.
Tommy Chong sang the canadian anthem in that 70's show, and he is a proud canadian from my hometown of Calgary.
Trudeau was a prick, only cared about Ontario and Quebec. Quebec can suck it, always trying to get Albertas oil money with their NEP and equalization payments. Just separate and see what third world country you'll get without our welfare payments to you.
Quebecs main exports: Maple Syrup and Celine Dion
Main imports: Foreign Strippers and Hookers

Canadians like hockey, they have socialized medicine, their population is declining, a town in Newfoundland is named Dildo, Kraft macaroni and cheese comes from Canada, they have strict national gun control laws, Quebec got their legal system from France instead of English common law, Bioware and Silicon Knights are based in Canada, they eat bit bacon instead of bacon, we get oil from them, Canada is cold, and they think that they are more civilized than us for reasons that I disagree with. How am I the only one who sees that New Zealand is the real threat? Think about it, what does the rest of the world actually know about New Zealand? I am not even sure how to spell it!
