Canadians are the most servile people on the face of the earth.
Your servant is polite to you but not because he wishes you well.
OH! How impolite.
The same Canadians who's government official called Bush an "idiot" among other things?
Their delusions run deep I see.
Boring pussies who rely on the USA for national defense. Yeah, I wanna be just like that.
Ping!
In the manner of new thinking paradigm coined by George Orwell, most peoples are more equal than some others. For Canada, this means everyone except Americans, Australians, Japanese, Poles, Israelis, etc are worth respect.
no kidding. I've been to canada many times. Polite is not the term I would use. Maybe to each other out in the boonies, but in the cities, no way.
I find Vancouver to be a beautiful looking city, the same way you see San Francisco when you first look at the city, but when you get on the streets of the city, there is not a cop to be found, and you have teens sitting on street corners smoking pot, agressive panhandlers everywhere, and hookers everywhere at night.
Considering that the west side of that country in now HongCouver and the east side is filled with socialist assholic french wannabees who spend every moment trying to find new ways to bash the US, I would say they are not the sweet little innocent polite people that they are always trying to hype themselves as. 75% of the entire canadian population lives within 100 miles of the US border. For a country that has developed a culture of anti-americanism, they sure like to be close to us.
When it comes to polite factor, its the ol "they are legends in their own minds".
How come the Brits aren't included? They are part of the coalition of the willing? Perhaps Canadians are royalists at heart.
The Canucks decide to "forgive" Mother Britain, thinking that "it was deceived by the rebellious son - after all it is still our mother country. But there is hope - actually it seems they are fast coming to our side of understanding things and it will be dawn again for us when that Bush-poodle Blair goes because either their Tories or the socialists agree with our position!"
(The above description isn't entirely fictitious. I read a lot from sites like the Monarchist League of Canada. This is almost to the word of what the good ol' monarchists say - bemoaning why Mother Britain and Australia decide not to stand by them and oppose BushitlerTM together)

Would you believe a Canadian once told an Aussie that the Aussies wouldn't know how to fight as they are descended from convicts. Seems they don't like Aussies any more than they like Americans.
In Canada, England, Australia, New Zealand, and especially the United States!!!!
What's happened to my beloved Anglosphere?
I would be quite surprised by this. The most common phrase I hears back at the beginning of 9/11 from bragging Canadians is that "Our Australian brothers can also fight like no others. British-cultured armies are second to none as history has proven, and the Yanks...they were just lucky that circumstances have pushed them to be the most powerful in the world!". Speaking in the manner like sneering British High Tories like Sir Max Hastings. But given that Canadians have since learned that at heart, Aussies are more like Americans, they might have now switched their tunes to the ones you heard.
I think Australia and Canada each has inherited one side of Britain's national characteristics. Britain is like a two-headed beast that has extreme opposing ideologies. Australia has inherited the side of Britain with individualist, and common sense beliefs while Canada has inherited the side of Britain with High Tory tendencies, fondness for social cohesion and "concerns for the needy". Looking at how the two countries' national characteristics diverged over the past 150 years, I would say Australians have got the better side of the deal.
I do believe that when dealing with their neighbours, the US could take a few lessons in Aussie satire.
