Dear Canadians: You are no longer welcome at TFP
 
It's not anything personal, but it's time for an intervention. Clearly you guys have a problem and as your friends, it's time for us to help you deal with your issue.Study: Canada is most Web-addicted nation


Quote:

Maybe it’s all those Justin Bieber fans: Canadians log more time on the Web and social media, including Facebook and YouTube, than any other nation.

The measurement company comScore reported Canada has the highest penetration of Internet access, with around 68 percent of Canadians routinely surfing online, against 62 percent in France and Britain. Close behind is 60 percent of Germans going online and, south of the border, 59 percent of Americans.

The laggards are Italians, where only 36 percent of the population goes online, according to comScore.
Web-addicted Canadians now spend an average 42 hours a month surfing the Web, up from 40 hours in 2009, and view an average 147 videos a month on YouTube and other online video websites.

And around 17 million Canadians, or 51 percent of the population, have Facebook accounts. Canada has a vibrant Twitterverse, with an estimated 5 percent of the traffic routinely following the world domination of homegrown pop idol Justin Bieber.

Despite Canada’s broadband connectivity, Canadians still lag Americans in their embrace of so-called “smart TV.” Netflix is only a recent entrant into the Canadian market, while Google TV and Apple TV have yet to break through north of the border.

The delay is due in part to the country’s TV watchdog debating whether to regulate the Internet as major cable and phone carriers steadily buy up major TV networks — Shaw Communications purchasing Canwest Global Communications Corp., Rogers Communications picking up Citytv and Bell Canada acquiring CTV — to offer TV to Canadians across multiple digital platforms before American behemoths establish themselves here.
So clearly you guys need some help and I'm just going to rip off the bandaid. I guess this means no more Mounties, Tim Hortons or talking about how much the Habs suck, but we'll let you back in when you can show a little more self-control.

Hugs n kisses,

me

The hot chicks can stay though, right?

I'm not letting you ban Settie!

There is no such thing as a Web addiction. The Web is the new commons, eh? :mapleleaf:

ZombieSquirrel 12-30-2010 10:51 AM

What happens if I start talking about Hockey and Molsen instead of Football and Miller Light? Will I get banned too???

Grasshopper Green 12-30-2010 11:02 AM

TFP just wouldn't be the same without random poppings-up of Fly's ass...

amonkie 12-30-2010 11:05 AM

What about honorary Canadians? *Sniff* *Sniff*

Since I was born in Maine and my mother was from Missouri, as are half my relatives, this ban doesn't apply to me, right?
I don't twitter and I no longer use MSN or Yahoo messenger, I only chat on Facebook now.
I am slightly addicted to Lexulous on Facebook, Facebook, Fark and TFP.
I used to Netflix until they stopped allowing me to pay by Paypal. My Paypal account is only funded by my bank and Netflix blocks eChecks. So, screw them.

Charlatan 12-30-2010 04:17 PM

It's fricken cold for a lot of the year... what do you expect us to do, other than log on.

Starkizzer 12-30-2010 04:27 PM

But...but...but I would miss them!

I mean come on, we would lose our settie, and that my friends is a tragedy!

rmarshall 12-30-2010 04:34 PM

Molson Canadian 67 is a dollar off for a 6 pack at the LCBO this week. I got one of those and a bottle of Crown Royal (750 ml. in the blue bag!) for New Years.

BadNick 12-30-2010 06:02 PM

I hate to go off topic, but it might get more attention in this thread: how 'bout we organize a TFP Curling Team?

Leto 12-30-2010 09:15 PM

Now you're talking BadNick. You want to get 18,000 fans into an arena? Want to get great ratings on a Sunday afternoon (usually the death period for televised sports - unless you're American i.e. don't get me going about weekend afternoon NHL games)? organize a bonspiel, and put it on TV.

Oh yeah.

settie 12-30-2010 10:59 PM

iiiiiiiiiii

Fremen 12-31-2010 02:07 AM

Without Canadians, the net would be boring.

Fly 12-31-2010 09:11 AM

Fremen.......that is not my ass.

snowy 12-31-2010 09:25 AM

I love Canadians.

If you make them go, I'll have to go too!

Ourcrazymodern? 01-01-2011 10:33 AM

Canada won't let me in.

fresnelly 01-01-2011 01:30 PM

The Canadians were The Most fun people in Cancun Mexico two years running when we were there.

You Betcha!!! Let them do whatever they wish and never treat them badly. Remember they live in the frozen tundra. And they make tfp a better place!

uncle phil 01-01-2011 03:45 PM

canadeans - cancun = FUN!!!

All right I'll stay. :)

Crokinole is what Canadian parents threaten their bored children with.

Seriously though: Crokinole

Crokinole looks quite interesting.

Also, why are there a group of expatriate Canadians living in China?

canuckguy 01-01-2011 06:59 PM

I've seen the internet. It needs more maple syrup.

Everything is better with maple syrup.

BadNick 01-01-2011 08:23 PM

Generally, I love Canadians. I have many beloved relatives in Canada.

But what about those fat guys from Quebec who wear those tiny speedo's at the beach? I don't get that part.

Leto 01-02-2011 05:03 AM

Fat guys from Quebec in tiny red speedos is essential. It like adding cayenne pepper to rice pudding. Without it the day would be boring and you wouldn't have anything to talk about in the bar afterward. Just sit back and enjoy the spectacle.

I've been constructing my own crokinole board for a while now. They cost too much in the games stores.

Those guys are from France or have been corrupted in France. They are not representative of Canada or even Quebec.

The_Jazz 01-02-2011 09:24 AM

Good, my plot to get all the Canadians in one spot is working....

dlish 01-02-2011 09:39 AM

i can see you rubbing your hands together with an evil smirk on your face...

you guys are working right into his trap...stop being so canadian!
