Well, let me congratulate you all on your hilarious sense of humor. I'm still slapping my knee as I write this, because I just can't stop laughing at your belittlement of Canada. *rolls eyes*
Look, I have had to live in the hotbed of anti-Americanism for a very long time. I could go on, but I won't.
But sometimes I get sick and tired of people on FR who make fun (easy jokes, I know) of Canada. I know people here, but I would die in the country I was born in, and the one I still think is the best country in the world, in a heartbeat (and they know that), but we have respectful differences of opinion.
Enough, already, with the stupid anti-Canadian jokes.
or maybe I'm just tired. And sick of all the bitterness between these two countries. I"m tired of defending Canada to my friends and family back home, and I'm certainly tired of defending the U.S. to .. basically everyone here that hates George Bush and everyone who voted for him.
Look people, the U.S. and Canada have far more in common than probably either country would like to admit. So deal with it.
Sometimes a joke may hurt simply because it reveals a bit too true about reality.
Canada Ping to post #57.
Wasn't there some good news from Canada recently, like Mr. Martin got spanked politically?
Congrats up your way.
A bit of harmless humour is fine, I do it myself, but there are people here who make fun of a country just because the particular country happens not be America.
It's annoying when non-Americans like myself are always defending America when I'm with my friends - and then to come on here and NOT find the favour returned!!
