Canadians

Why do people talk so negatively to Canada in America? I went there for Spring Break last year and it was awesome. A little expensive but awesome. Niagara Falls looks cooler from Canada than America, (I think that's the one) also when it comes to food, America is terrible compared to Canada, I ate at the greatest Burger King ever and it was the first place we ate at.

What's funny is that that was the only fast food place we ate at.....other than that it was all delicious chef gourmet crap....DELICIOUS! I like it more than this fat person infested piece of crap face.....as long as it's not French Canada....didn't enjoy that area.

... I think Americans only make fun of French Canada. And who wouldn't? I mean come on... French Canada! I guess regular ol' Canada isn't good enough for you.

(lol satire)

I am not so sure it is that American's don't like Canada. I think it's more like teasing a sibling ,friend, or neighbor. I haven't run across too much Canada bashing and when I have it's been minor.

For real? I see it quite a bit then again my school is full of people that are ignorant, obnoxious, stupid, hypocritical...everything....

I love Canada. That Burger King is by Niagra Falls right. I ate at one just like it while in Canada.

Yeah, just down the street is Niagara Falls.

I knew I saw it before. Did you see "Dracula's Castle"? If you didn't I consider you lucky, it was complete and utter crap.

I'm going to agree more with this statement than anyone else's.

We have the same basic thing up here; "America is fat", or "America is lazy."
The only person I can recall being seriously named an idiot are a few choice politicians.

So basically, when people insult Canada/America, they're either idiots, or just kidding around.

I saw it but never walked in or anything like that, I walked down that entire street, I ate at some of the places but food is like the only thing we did, actually we went to that water park (Which sucked) and that was about it. Their hotels were amazing though.

Edit: By some political figures or whatever you said, you mean Bush don't you? Cuz even America doesn't like him, VOTE FOR COLBERT!

I don't know about you guys, but where I'm from everyone thinks Canadians are awesome. And I'm an American, mind you.

I can understand teasing, but most of the jokes Americans make about Canada are in either poor taste, too old and corny, or both. Like this one I heard, where someone asked "Hey, do you know how to speak Canadianese?" I was like "WTF?" on that one.

There's many more I remember, but I can't remember exactly how they went.

OFF TOPIC: Forte, it's impossible for Colbert to run for president. Besides, he got rejected so he can't run XP.

I'm Canadian, and I find that alot of Canadians speak negativley about the USA and I get the impression people think that we're better but seriousley the USA and Canada are pretty much the same thing. I think the US is cool.

Heh, I was in the area in that photograph. Wasn't there a haunted mansion in there called "Screamers" or somrthing, with Michael Myers, Jason Voorhess and such? There's also a Ripley exibit if I remember...
Anyways, that isn't the subject. I feel no different than Americans. Maybe they're stereotyping with the whole "eh?" thing and us having a lack of education. I think they're jelous because:
1.) We don't have much fattie foods
2.) OUR dollar is better than THEIR dollar
3.) Good celebrities came from Canada (Jim Carrey, Mike Myers, ect.)
Ok, maybe backtalking isn't the right solution...
Anyways, we're not so different, so WHY are they being so mean to the neighbors up North?

I was born in Montreal and moved to New York before I was even one, but I still speak a good amount of French around the home.

BLAME CANADA! BLAME CANADA!
They're not even a real country anyways!

Don't wanna be a Canadian idiot!
Don't wanna be some beer-swillin' hockey nut.
And do I look like some frostbitten hose head?
I never learned my alphabet from A to Zed!

They all live on donuts 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

Sure, they got their national health care,
cheaper meds, low crime rates and clean 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.
Won't 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!

To tell you the truth, I think Canadians are effin' awesome! I wouldn't say I make fun of them, rather make fun with them if that makes any sense...

Also:

1. Stargate Atlantis
2. Dr. Rodney McKay

^ Two reasons that alone make Canada one of the best places in the world. ^_^

Ah yes, Clifton Hill, the biggest tourist trap in Ontario. Everything is about 10x what it is elsewhere, for about half the quality!


Anywho, Southern Ontario, at any rate, isn't very different from the northern states, so I'm not surprised you didn't see much of a difference.
