I've never had poutine.
I sure do like pancakes and doors being held for me tho.
I do also enjoy holding doors for others.
Especially big men who I then tip my head to and refer to as m'lady.
You just might be in the wrong country.
I'm sorry you couldn't keep a Prime Minister in office for more than 3 months (John Turner). Perhaps your governor general and members of parliament will continue to select great prime ministers for you.
We're sorry that even though you live next door, you come in 2nd place when it comes to US Imports. While it's nice of you to offer up your softwood lumber, I think it's the least you can do, considering the fact that Canada was the US' largest good export market last year. Thanks for the lumber, we'll go ahead and give you everything else you need.
Also congratulations on your 1 gold medal last year. Sorry we didn't notice, we were to busy counting the 46 gold medals we won.
I'm sorry your military capability has been surpassed exponentially by the US since 1812. Luckily your NATO allies (US?), has been supporting your needs and letting your play along for the past 20 years. I'm sorry you can't make up your mind whether or not you want to play in the sandbox with the big boys, and that your young boys are dying from crashes in poorly maintained helicopters.
Don't worry about the beer. The fact is that with 313 million people (8x Canada), someone's bound to buy cheap rice beer. Fortunately we have quite a few micro breweries maintained within our individual states that go unnoticed on a global scale. So keep sucking that Labatt Blue band wagon all 34 million of you love. I'll enjoy the variety of choices my neighbors brew this fall.
And finally on behalf of all Americans, your apology for being so cynical is accepted. It's pretty well known that cynicism stems from reacting to strangers. We know your isolated up there. It's cold and you feel alone. Rest assured, our warm bikini clad beaches are always open to tourism.
You might want to fact check yourself on some of those.
No Canadian government official will ever trump the circus that is American politics.
Not ever.
Canada does not rely on the states as heavily as most people think.
We do get boned by you lot fairly often, which is our own government's fault.
Like when you buy lumber or oil from us and then sell it back to another part of the country at an inflated price.
We are responsible for 14% of your total imports (highest among all importers) at 327.5 billion.
The only country you throw more money at is China, for computer parts clothing and cars.
We import 221.3 billion from you.
One gold in the summer olympics.
Summer.
In world soccer we lose to countries that don't have grass.
We are not a summer games country and never claimed to be.
Do some research on our military prowess, even in modern times, and I am sure you will be surprised at how we are not ones to be trifled with.
Our military works essentially in tune with your as far as training and skills, as we train alongside one another.
We just don't go picking fights and making every conflict our business.
Just because the states is involved in more conflict than any other country at any given time, does not mean they are better at it.
TV commercials making it look like Canadians love Labatt Blue nation wide is not exactly accurate.
It is shit and we all know it.
Canada has micro breweries too, and a ridiculous amount of immigrants that bring their old country recipes over with them.
No, their isnt one...
I'm trying to figure out why America named football soccer and named american football football.
America is "discovered".
The natives are called Indians because the "discoverer" thought he was in India.
America gets started and says, fuck it, you guys are Indians, give us your land.
To this day natives are called Indians, because America does not like to correct itself.
Are you really surprised that they are sticking to their guns with those sport names even though the no one else in the world gets it.
I wonder if the Government of Canada would be interested in making League of Legends a national sport. would probably be more profitable than Harpers "economic action plan"
It would be good until Japan and South Korea got in on it and we became obsolete at it.
