Is Canada a country in the same way France, China, Estonia, Ubkestan, Chile, and Latvia are countries? I say it is but in a less way since it does not have any personality.

Sure...... Estonia and Ubkestan are bubbling over with personality.... Lativa,is going to be the next spring break captial too.

Isnt Latvia where Victor Von Doom is from?

None of them can hold a candle to Lichtenstein.

Canada is not a country. It's a state.

The great state of Canada, population 3, still doesn't hold a candle to Vatican City, which isn't as big as a mall parking lot, or Andorra, where sheep grow that serve to make the wool for my sweaters.

Long live Canada.

Despite what our Allforums Canadian posters say many Canadians would like it if Canada was annexed by the United States. Here are the results when Canadians were asked about annexation in 2001.

Krispy Kremes suck! who in their right mind would want a greasy, over glazed, machine made donut when they could have a hand crafted work of art like God intended?:rant:

Tim Horton's donuts are terrible.

I know Quebec wants to leave Canada, but I wouldn't have guessed they'd want to join us.

Where did you dig this up?

Canada is more of a country, and has more of an identity, than the united states... who bends over backwards for any minority who doesn't get their way... Canada just says "hey, not our problem"... I respect that. Have a little pride for pete's sake.

i had no idea Big Mac's were that strong of a draw:eek: What's that suppose to mean?

Tim Horton's donuts are terrible.


:eek:

You take that back! :p


I'm partial to this little (and I do mean little) donut shop run by a Chinese family. Goodness they make the best Apple Fritters by far. It's funny the woman still remembers me from when I used to stop there at 6 in the morning on my way to work and when I go in there she'll give me a bag of donut holes free.

They are good with sour cream too,if you like sour cream at all.

I LOVE sour cream. Also love cream cheese. I'm just in love with dairy products, ESPECIALLY cheese... Unfortunately I've been having stomach problems lately and the doctor told me to cut out dairy for a week and a half to see if that's what's bothering me. :(

mmmm.....cream cheese...I like dipping peaches in cream cheese.

no taste compared to boiled cabbage and potatoes?:confused:

How would I know,do ya think Im a fucken leprechaun.

LOL... We eat boiled cabbage and potatoes and corned beef here. My boyfriend's family only eats it on St. Patrick's day, but we actually do it more often than that. My grandma makes it a few times a year.

I like cabbage and spuds, but Im not gonna tell Mike that :)

Well not the ones near you anyway, traffics a fucken nightmare.

Actually most Canadians love the USA......... it provides a great buffer zone between us and Mexico.

This thread was meant as a joke because some poster was posting numerous posts about Canada in the US news section even though many people told him to stop.

Well those stats are about right.. YOU can have Quebec we actually don't want their thinking and thoughts... rude but true..If they can't support what Canada works for and stands for get out of the kitchen..
19.9% is not a thumbs up for anyone to say we want to join or be like the US...We as Canadians love who we are and what we stand for...

Thanks for showing these stats it help reiterate how Canadians truly feel.. We don't want to be part of the US.. Because 80.1% say piss off...

Ya know, these kinda threads keep up and Canada is gonna come down and kick yer ass someday.

Awww see Paul we have more humor in us then to kick their asses..
The justice is knowing they are stuck in the US life style and we aren't lol

and no most Canadians have very interesting views on the Americans.. Some we love and oh so many we loath.. hehe

just what does Canada stand for? besides in line for donuts?:lolhit:

the people in canada are in much better shape, are much more humble, and are more stubborn on their morals than americans on a whole. Of course, the border of Canada isn't really canada, it's just american-flowover. And Quebec doesn't count. They might as well be France.

Shortstuff,

Any time almost one out of five citizens of a country wish their country to be annexed by another country it is indicative of a view of the home country as an independent entity that is less than stellar. One out of five Canadians would rather be Americans than Canadians and that figure does not take into account the large numbers of Canadians who have actually emigrated to The States.

The only identity Canada has is that it is not the U.S.. There is no real concept of Canadianess other than ice hockey and Tim Horton's. Italians have a sense of what it is to be Italian, Germans of what it is to be German, Brits what it is to be British, Irish what it is to be Irish and Americans what it is to be American. Almost every country has a sense of its own identity. Canada does not have that sense of self identity. Despite the fact that some Canadians would like some unique canadian quality the majority feel they are simply America's hat.

I was just gonna say that :D

No offense, but cucumbers with sour cream, and peaches with cream cheese!?!?! What - were you baked outta your mind looking through your fridge one day when you dreamt up those concoctions???

Touché, Arrondee - touché, indeed...

Trust me....the feeling is mutual. The difference between us being, primarily, that people actually care what we think. Without you, we could survive unscathed; without us, you're fucked. 70% of your money is generated through OUR country. Take that away, and what do you have?

You know what - do yourself a favor, and don't bother answering.

Its ok shorty. Maybe its a better standing in the world if the Yanks dont like ya, after all, they dont like fucken anybody. :)

no :p

My grandmother used to put the cucumbers and sour cream together for family picnics when I was growing up. I guess it just stuck with me.

What's wrong with dipping fresh peaches in cream cheese? :confused:

Nothing, I've just never heard of anyone doing that before. Peaches and yogurt, or peaches and ice cream - sure, but never peaches and cream cheese. That said, I'm sure it tastes good. :)

I so agree paul... I have many friends from different regions of the world there is good and bad in very country..
We have an identity we are Canadian and damn proud of it.. We take pride in our country and how it is run and how the inner workings are..We take pride in knowing we don't just screw anyone over for a buck..

But hey Americans have opinions on everything good or bad.. Canadians well we are what we are and you can pick and natter all you want about us.. We do just fine.. and live very well thanks you... OH and how is your health care??

the people in Canada are in much better shape, are much more humble, and are more stubborn on their morals than Americans on a whole. Of course, the border of Canada isn't really Canada, it's just American-flowover. And Quebec doesn't count. They might as well be France.

I have to agree... but when you have a good thing and others don't then tend to be a bit pissy and jealous.. hmmmm but it is all good.
We sleep well at night...

Our Healthcare is fine-and free.

Your healthcare sucks, as does Canada's.

Your healthcare sucks, as does Canada's.

Your right-but its free.

No it's not; your respective governments tax the living shit outta you people, and your healthcare STILL sucks.

No it's not; your respective governments tax the living shit outta you people, and your healthcare STILL sucks.

Really they tax the shit out of us.. wow news to me.. I am doing just great..
As for our health care.. ya it has a few flaws, but it is for the most part it is a hell of a lot better then what you Americans have..
How many of your average Americans have health care compared to the Canadians, where most do not go without...

http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/7467/healthstatsyb3.png (http://imageshack.us)

But what is it you really know about Canada that you aren't bias about..
We are not all assholes that run the US down.. As I said there is good and bad in every country and place.. I am proud to be Canadian as you are proud to be American.. so I guess we agree to disagree..

This thread shoulda been nipped in the bud... but since it's been allowed to progress to the point it's now US against THEM, please permit me to put in my $.02.

Canada and the United States are TWO different countries, each with their own good & bad points. Really no point in bashing either one. I have long-time Canadian friends and they are good people.

But when it comes to healthcare, I'm adamently opposed to exchanging our free-market system for yet another government-run program. I have no desire to see my country become another Canada... nor do I long to be more like any European country I can think of. And I don't need a govt-issued chart to point out that I'd have 3 more years to live in a nursing home if I'd just jump on the socialist bandwagon.

Viva la difference, folks! That's what makes us all proud of our homelands!

:)
SMW

From what I've heard of the Canadian system, it's really good for ongoing care, preventative visits, regular checkups, etc., but where it falls short is on major problems that aren't necessarily life threatening. Like if you completely blow out your knee, or if you have back problems requiring surgery. Contrast this with the U.S. - last time I went in for a regular checkup I had to wait five months to find an opening. But when the doctor wanted me to go take a test at the hospital to check on something (which turned out to be nothing) I was I had the test within a week.

Really they tax the shit out of us.. wow news to me..
Color me surprised.
As for our health care.. ya it has a few flaws, but it is for the most part it is a hell of a lot better then what you Americans have..
Really? Then why do so many of you take the twenty minute drive to come here for your healthcare? Oh, wait....that's only if you're suffering from something serious, right?
How many of your average Americans have health care compared to the Canadians, where most do not go without...
"Most" don't go without coverage here, either.
But what is it you really know about Canada that you aren't bias about..
Nothing, but then again, we all have our opinions, don't we? I mean, after all, it's certainly apparent to me that you have yours about my country. ;)
We are not all assholes that run the US down..
No, only about 60 or so % of your population fancies doing that. Present company excluded, of course. :)
I am proud to be Canadian as you are proud to be American.. so I guess we agree to disagree..
Guess so...

Your right-but its free.

Paul please learn the difference between Your and You're. I'm not picking on you, but it just drives me insane every time I read your posts.

LOL! FYI - he refuses to, Mesk.

No it's not; your respective governments tax the living shit outta you people, and your healthcare STILL sucks.

Fair point, nothings free in this world, thats true.

Paul please learn the difference between Your and You're. I'm not picking on you, but it just drives me insane every time I read your posts.
Stop it.

2 million jobs in the US are directly related to trade with Canada. Do you think there minimum wage jobs?

Your healthcare sucks, as does Canada's.

US Citizen using Canadian services by fraud is why we ended up in a mess.

Yeah, but us selling you OUR medications at 66% off because WE pay for the R&D probably doesn't hurt it.
2 million jobs in the US are directly related to trade with Canada.
I'm sure our country representing the VAST majority of your customer base and industry doesn't hurt. That said, how many Canadian jobs do you think WE prop up? I can say this with 100% certainty - it's a hell of a lot more than 2 million, and your population is 1/10th ours. Do the math. Oops, never mind.

1 in 3 jobs are directly related to trade I read and 70% of our work force is for services to the US. I think wood, electric, oil, and soon water and more. but these commodities can be sold else where.

If we don't get a nafta highway I can see the Alaskan highway days numbered, and mega ships will be doing that job instead; if we have to.

About Canadian personality not being different is a no brainer who ever said that. What do they expect when the majorities of us come from the same places and have been here just as long as the mayflower?

70% of jobs being dependant on one country (US), thats a lot.
Leaves Canada very exposed to trade tarrifs.

Why the hell would we need your power? I can see sharing the grid to augment our supply in case of emergencies, but all things considered, we don't "need" your electricity.

Tell that to Maine and surroundings states that also buy it. Quebec power is from mega dams and the contract is definatly an eye opener. Quebec must stop using its power if it can not supply enough to the states.

Tell that to Maine and surroundings
Oh, yeah, we don't have the technology to put a nuclear power plant in Maine, I forgot. :rolleyes:

If they need you, it's because of their state legislature.

Quebec must stop using its power if it can not supply enough to the states.
So at least you know your place on the totem pole, I guess. ;)

somewhat that is why I'm liken forums. One thing about what said about Quebec from other posters I thought where in bad taste however I don't speak the language but I'm half French so.

One reason why people hate Quebec is because if you get stationed there you are forced to register your kids in French only schools.
I think thier people are mainly french and thier province is still pristine where I live. Today this hole province had led the fight to remain as they always been and not bending over to foreign special interest and with that isn't that what we all want?

Your half French.
Shit, that means Prae will only hate half of ya, the other half he doesnt like.

:D

Well, you have to admit, that explains a lot. ;)
