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

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.

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.

Crokinole is what Canadian parents threaten their bored children with.

Seriously though: Crokinole

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

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.
