How soon do you think it will take some of these oh-so-smart Canadians to catch on to the fact that a lot of their dumb American respondants are actually putting them on? No offense intended to Canadians in general.

Perhaps we should place more coal fed power plants near the border? I heard it does wonders for their lakes.
But it's true most Americans don't know very much about Canada other than that they pay something like 50% of their pay in income taxes. Oh wait, sounds like the US, doesn't it? |

I don't know, it looks like they are having fun, and if it's at the expense of the ignoramuses of the United States, then I am all for it. Please notice they did say that they avoid military types because they are more up on their geography. The overall thrust of the article seems to be the large difference in cross-border awareness between Canada and the US. My general feeling is that the Canadians are excessively preoccupied with being "distinct from American." Goody for them. Look, they have 1/10 our population, and they are good neighbors. Who would you rather have to the north? Maybe the Republic of Congo? quote from American: "Idaho, what part of Canada is that?" |

Well Stubb's you've crossed the line this time. As the senior and sometimes only Canadian member here it is my offical duty to inform you that we have declared war on you. Now as soon as we get our Navy out of the warehouse,truck it to the nearest body of water and get the outboards running...we will be down to open a can of woopass on you!!![moon][:D]

They would be tolerable neighbors if they would just STAY THERE. If you go to Florida during their winter (Sept.--June) you can't even find a parking place for all the damned "snowbirds" from Canada. Sheesh. I meant visit, not immigrate. I hope I didn't insult you. LOL P.S. Striker, you seem okay. |

Beekeeper--
If I was insulted by your comments, I would have deserved judicious readjustment via a size 12 Florsheim in the the groin. No, I see what you mean, and I always heard horror stories about the Quebecois who would come down into Northern NY and pretend not to speak English. But I still think that given the options, there aren't all that many countries I'd rather have up there. Maybe Austrians, but they don't seem nutty enough. |

Several years ago my wife and I were in Quebec City. We bought a big piece of the best smoked salmon I have ever ate, at a large common market. 2 years ago, during another vacation to Maine, we went back. Of course the salmon vendor was gone, nothing is ever the same the 2nd time around. We searched the city in vain, no one had a clue as to where we could get some smoked salmon, a major product of Canada. On the way out we found it, at the Duty free shop! It was not as good. Before they get a laugh on us, the Canadians ought to figure out where in the Hell they keep their salmon!

This thread has been good for a laugh. I know Canada has it's problems..but so does the States. I'm glad we are neighbors, met lots of good people here but I'm a Canadian and damn proud of it. If there is one thing we could learn from you Americans..it's how to wave the flag. There is not enough of that here. Canadians for the most part are laid back take it as it comes easy going people who maybe should stand up and be counted more then we are. but..we do make the best beer going[beer] |

Just kidding, i know that gets them going. Seriously tho, my Canadian friend told me to ask Canadian's who their first PM was. I forget now too, but 90% of Canucks don't know either. But everyone know GW was our first. Go figure. Hey, we're all on the same side. |

Say what you want about Canucks, but I like the way they drive through the US of A like they have diplomatic immunity--every time a car passes me going 90--Ontario plates. Do they have any speed limits up there? Maybe they plan to use the "metric defense." Oh wait, 80km/h is really like 45mph. Guess that blows that idea...

Quoted: How great can a country be that won it's independence without a war? If you owned 'em would you fight to keep 'em if they wanted off the teat? 'nuff said. A buddy of mine keeps talking about going up and invading them, but gave it up when he couldn't figure out what to do with the mess after he declared himself emperor. There just isn't a whole lot there but trees and water. Useful, but not much to get excited over. |

Don't hold your breath MOD. If Quebec does seperate (not likely) by the time the Cree Indians get done taking over the land that is rightfully theirs..Quebec will have a country the size of Rhode Island. The Cree have stated before that they are not leaving Canada. Aside from all of that I think the seperatist idea is dying a slow death in Quebec.
