...here in America, we pull over all the right to the right and stop for first reponders. It doesn't matter that you look like you're 95+. Why the hell are you driving anyway? 
You'd figure if you keep coming back to AZ every winter, you'd know some road rules by now. |

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police ride horses, so in Canada when a horse with lights and sirens needs to get by, you've got a minute or two to pull over. These damn American police in their engine-powered carriages just move too quick.
You should also remember that lots of these Canadians have only driven two kinds of vehicles... a combine in Saskatchewan and a Dodge duallie pulling a 107' fifth wheel trailer. |

What bothers me more than their driving is their attitude toward our 2nd ammendment rights. I was hiking some trails south of Casa Grande recently and I struck up a conversation with another hiker when I stopped for a rest. Turns out he's Canadian and he starts in on how he and his fellow Canuks just don't understand why people in Arizona are always carrying guns. As he is doing this he's pointing to the handgun on my hip.
I just told him I carry because I can. I told him its my constitutional right and that its too bad his country doesn't trust its citizens to own and carry handguns. After my "sucks to be you" tirade he stormed off mumbling something about crazy Americans. I realize they pump a lot of dollars into our economy each winter but their attitude leaves a lot to be desired. Another time in Frys I overheard a lady complaining to her companion about people carrying handguns after someone walked by with an open carry handgun. She started in on how it should be more like back home in Canada. It just kind of irks me as I don't go to a foreign country and expect them to change to my standards. |
| I used to work for a payment processor's call center that serviced 60,000 + American callers and approximately 12,000 Canadian callers. Our call volumes by country looked (on an average day) like 1,600 US and 1,100 Canadian. Do the math and tell me they ain't a stupid bunch of helpless wimps looking for someone to hold their hands for everything. And they were always looking for something for nothing... We issued almost as many reversals and credits to Canada as we did the US. That pretty much sums it up for the mentality of their culture. |

My favorite thing is when the fucktards pull out in front of YOU then proceed to flip you off as if yo shouldn't have been driving in their section of the road or something.
Florida had snowbirds, but they were at least sane and knew how to drive. AZ's snowturds are a totally different animal... as if they are driving aimlessly into the desert to wait out their own slow death. |

This story reminds me of the time I went totally bat shit crazy on some dumb ass Canadian snow bird that blew through a school zone at about 45 mph.
Driving along, coming up to a school zone, I slow down, Canadian in front of me keeps on going full steam ahead. There was a group of elementary school kids approaching the crosswalk. Once I passed the school zone I chased him down, and when we stop at red light I got out of my car and verbally assaulted him for his stupidity. Probably not real smart of me, but I was PISSED. I'm a really easy going guy, and it's pretty hard to set me off, but I went full retard on this guy. Pretty bad that a 19 year old (at the time) kid was scolding a 65+ year old man for poor driving. The light finally turned green and he flipped me off and sped away. |

It's as if.there's no middle ground. 
And i dont give a shit how y'all do stuff up there, you're in America now so fuck off with your backword ways.

We've got a few that we shoot with in (NRA-style) High Power, smallbore, bullseye and silhouette, at the 3 phoenix ranges... they're not all goofy.... one of them was telling us how HE was harassed by US customs when he was bringing guns in (with fully correct paperwork), the US customs dingbat couldn't deny him or his guns entry but sure made him feel unwelcome.
