346 Trade Off.
Are all Canadians awesome? Is Canada some kind of magical land where everyone is cool to everyone else? Is it really America with less suck? I know it can’t be so, but I’ve never met a Canadian that wasn’t nice to me. I need some worldly person to set me straight.
Stumble it!

Canadians can be very rude, but only to other Canadians from another province.

My stepdad is Canadian and he is a total douche. What brought that up anyway.
On another note I bet Nina is from the same Island as Wonder Woman.

The island is called Themyscira. I don’t know much about Canada but, I hear good things. And I just realized, Ed is breast level with Nina.

I happen to be Canadian, and from the American’s I’ve talked to, there really isn’t a whole lot of difference that I’ve seen. Though I’m horrible at judging such things, to be honest. ^.^;;

canadians are half-french. and you know how the frenchies are…
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:57 pm
It is slightly less sucky, yes.

not too many Canadian’s in Florida, so I can’t really answer that for you.

Canada = The magical land of bagged milk.

I’ve met a few Canadians I haven’t liked, but on the whole you have a bunch of people who are holed up in little houses for a large part of the year. The nice ones survive, the rude ones … don’t.
I used to live in Alaska, It was much the same there. (Just don’t get me started on Palin.)

I’ve never seen a Canadian that knew how to tip.

Canadians are no better and no worse than anyone else, we just believe in being polite to you while being a jackass thats all.
September 4th, 2008 at 8:28 am
We’re very polite but what we’re thinking often doesn’t match up with how nice we’re being. I love it here, but I have to admit we’re very hypocritical. At least our beer is good, lol.
September 4th, 2008 at 10:27 am
LOL @ Theron. Yes at least the beer is good.
Seriously, there are some pretty rude Canadians out there. I’ve met quite a few of them. Maybe we’re just not as openly rude in general?
September 4th, 2008 at 12:48 pm
The Canadians I’ve met are usually on vacation (snowbirds in San Diego), so they’re almost always very nice and quite happy… go figure, they’re having a good time in great weather on vacation!
Go ahead Nina, telling him that you’re NOT hitting him with a short joke isn’t much better than actually hitting him with one.

Since your need is so great I’ll write an insult about American beer to prove we can be jerks:
“Damn, I’ve drunk better tasting and more alcoholic tap water than this Coors stuff.”
Seriously though, we really are primarily separated from Americans by a greater intolerance for rightwing extremism (including such things as having your HMO system instead of a real healthcare system) and a greater devotion to making sure we’re polite–especially to people we don’t like or expect to meet ever again.

I’m afraid if I worked with half as many people who were that witty, my brain would implode. Canadians. To me, they’re black and white people, some of them are the greatest ever to live, while others are complete scum. Damn you canadians, damn Celine Deon, damn you avril….

I’m Canadian… and everyone I ran into when I worked in a souvenir shop was told “So, I take it you haven’t been to one of our hockey games yet?”
We tend to give what we get… and usually people are nice to us. Which is good… there are more hockey sticks in this country than there are people to wield them. XD

I think Nina and I must be distant relatives or something, like, mental relatives. I LOVE sorting books, too, and I’m tall, too…but I’m not blonde (anymore). And it’s pretty hard to resist when someone sets themselves up for a good joke…
September 5th, 2008 at 9:49 am
Nina is Canadian, then? ^^
November 11th, 2008 at 7:02 am
The only ones I’ve meet or know of are nice and/or talented but they seem to hate canada as much as americans hate america. The grass is always greener.
