Hey, I'm not a lumberjack, or a fur trader....
I don't live in an igloo or eat blubber, or own a dogsled....
and I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada,
although I'm certain they're really really nice.

I have a Prime Minister, not a president.
I speak English and French, not American.
And I pronounce it 'about', not 'a boot'.

I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack.
I believe in peace keeping, not policing,
diversity, not assimilation,
and that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal.
A toque is a hat, a chesterfield is a couch,

Canada is the second largest landmass!
The first nation of hockey!

My name is Daval!!
And I am Canadian!!!

All my cousins just nodded (it was funny from my point of view). See you or I would have said no you look great or hmmm that dress doesn't work for you. A Newfie will just tell you exactly what they think no holding back.

I married a Canadian. The one thing I have noticed about this thread is that everyone is overlooking the most obvious difference between Americans and Canadians.

CANADIAN MEN ARE WAY HOTTER THAN AMERICAN MEN.

Every American man I have dated treated me like a sex toy. They were never faithful and often prone to violence. Canadian men just do not do things like that. They seem to have respect for other human beings and are more caring.

If a girl can get past the hockey obsessions and having everything in her house covered in duct tape, then a pet Canadian is a great thing to have around.

***grins***

And of course there is the "maple syrup"

Yes us Canadian guys can do our thing and the duct tape,..well that just an issue. But yeah,..the "maple syrup"....

I've only ever been to Canada a handful of times, I recieved less than stellar treatment up around Toronto from the 10-15 people I directly conversed with. Some guy did sit down and talk to me for like 10 mintues at Niagra though, nice guy, I think he worked with security there.

Seriously, as a very proud Canadian, I think that while there certainly are subtle differences between Canadian and Americans we are basically the same. I have a lot of family living in the USA and don't view them any differently I do my family living here.
While we aren't as openly patriotic as Americans we are proud of our gorgeous country. I like the fact that people view us as non-threatening and friendly. I mean really - how threatening can we be with our one or two helicopters that keep crashing and when the majority of our naval fleet is in a mall!

Yes we lost in New Orleans but that was just a battle... we spanked you here and there you spanked us...

As for the Treaty of Ghent... as far as I see it we won. The US invaded our lands and we pushed them back. There was no ground won or lost. Sounds to me like the aggressors (ie the USA) got pushed back. The boarder held.

As for whose ass have we kicked lately? No need to kick ass. No one has invaded us since.

Canada is awesome. I'm proud to be Canadian. I have no problem with americans, they have the same ability to be nice, and the same ability to be a jerk as anyone. I must say however, how Canadians are known to Americans as toque wearing people who say 'eh' and Americans are known to Canadians as people with an exaggerated Texan accent. I can't help but post this article by Rick Mercer of 22 minutes.

On behalf of Canadians everywhere I'd like to offer an apology to the United States of America. We haven't been getting along very well recently and for that, I am truly sorry. I'm sorry we called George Bush a moron. He is a moron but, it wasn't nice of us to point it out. If it's any consolation, the fact that he's a moron shouldn't reflect poorly on the people of America. After all it's not like you actually elected him.



I'm sorry we beat you in Olympic hockey. In our defence I guess our excuse would be that our team was much, much, much, much better than yours.



I'm sorry we burnt down your White House during the war of 1812. I notice you've rebuilt it! It's very nice.



I'm sorry about your beer. I know we had nothing to do with your beer but, we feel your pain.



I'm sorry about our waffling on Iraq. I mean, when you're going up against a crazed dictator, you want to have your friends by your side. I realize it took more than two years before you guys pitched in against Hitler, but that was different. Everyone knew he had weapons.



And finally on behalf of all Canadians, I'm sorry that we're constantly apologizing for things in a passive-aggressive way which is really a thinly veiled criticism. I sincerely hope that you're not upset over this.



We've seen what you do to countries you get upset with.





BTW, have any of you americans seen 22 minutes?

Ok - I am not saying I don't believe you. I am just saying that I cannot verify this factoid and I need your help. I found Sone information that pointed to the fact that our Material for the WWII bombs came from Oak Ridge, TN but that most of the material for the bombs made in the 50s and 60s came from Canada.



The Americans, however, still had little technical respect for the work that had been done in Canada, and felt that the U.S. graphite reactors could produce the plutonium for a bomb sooner than the Canadian heavy-water process. It was decided to continue the Canadian work, however, because of its post-war industrial and military plutonium potential. Research was done on plutonium extraction from irradiated natural uranium and reactor construction. The "dust had scarcely settled over Hiroshima and Nagasaki" [24] when the first reactor outside the U.S. -- the Zero Energy Experimental Pile (ZEEP) at the new Chalk River, Ontario laboratory -- was "fired up" in 1945, and work was begun on the National Research X-perimental (NRX) reactor.

"[T]hroughout the 1950s Canada was a major supplier of weapons-grade plutonium -- the essential, deadly element in atomic bombs -- to both the British and U.S. military programmes... Official estimates of the AECB are that about $10-million a year of plutonium was being exported to the United States by 1957. The sale of uranium to the United States was also bringing in about $300-million a year." [30]



I am intrigued by this and would like to learn more Jaelin. Thanks for the help.

One more thing about this whole "We burned down the White House" thing. You may as well have been the Vichey French in the War of 1812. Just because you were British Stooges and you did not have the balls to fight for your own independance, doesn't mean that you are somehow heroic for burning down the White House. Crown Colony my ass. You were the Queen's bitch and you did what you were told. If anything, it is pathetic that your children had to die to fight for the Crown's interests and you just took it.

When the Crown told you to march, you should have thrown some perverbial tea in Hudson Bay. Heck, maybe you would have gotten some help from your soon to be pals down south.

I am inclined to defend *Canadians,* when you point out how ball-free you believe us to be, but when I think about how many hundreds of thousands of your own women, children & men you killed in the Civil War, and what perverted sense of rightiousness had brother killing brother, I think, nah. One does not want to look too closely at American history, you're liable to unearth some pretty rancid stuff.

I am not commenting on the glass house in which I live and I don't want this out of context here. I have seen too many Canadian Hockey players to think that Canadians have no balls. I am simply putting this whole White House thing that the previous posters have been clinging to into perspective.

Canadians are Americans. People who live in Canada are a part of America. People who live in the United States are Americans. The United States is a part of America. Mexicans are Americans. Event those few who are still in Mexico. Mexico is a part of America. If it makes you feel better you can throw a North in with America!

The you have Hondurans and Ecuadorians and Brazilians who are also Americans - You can throw in a Central or a South if it makes you feel better. We are all Americans from Cape Columbia, Nunavut, to the Straits of Magellan - We who live in the United States have rather bastardized the name American to apply only to those of us who live in the 50 states - this is incorrect - guess than makes us United Statesians or something like that!

True enough! But I think it's a losing battle. We'll let you keep calling yourself *American.* After all, you are pretty damn proud of it.

FromTheFallingRock:

And in case anyone is wondering, Tim Horton was a Canadian hockey player who started the donut franchise, Tim Horton's.
On the topic of yummy, super-fattening foods, there is one reason that I'm glad I no longer live in Canada. BUTTER TARTS. Can't get them in the US, and when I'm in Canada I am compelled to gorge myself on them. They are, simply put, a taste of heaven.

Mondak: No hard feelings. I responded to your comment in the early stages of my awakening today and I'm afraid I was a tad snippy. Sometimes I feel like I've spent my whole life defending my country of birth, but my knee most definitely jerked this a.m.

This has been a great thread with a strong undercurrent of good-natured humor. I'll try to stay with the good-natured aspect of it.

I didn't even notice. I think you had a good point! If anything, I think I am the one pushing buttons a little too much around this thread. As you said though - I think most of it is good natured.

And yes, technically it was British regulars that were involved in the war of 1812. However, there were also a large number of Upper and Lower Canadians in the form of Militia and a great number of Native Americans that were involved in that fracas.

The whole Vichy French thing is a little off base. Upper Canada was full of people who didn't want to seperate as the US did. It was not an occupied territory in the same sense as France was in WW2.

As for not having the balls to seperate from the UK... well. We are seperate. In true Canadian fashion we did it through negotiation. Sure it took longer but we didn't have to kill to get it.

As a Canadian I am extremely proud of that heritage.
