Once upon a time, Canada had a right to be proud.
But that was a long time ago.

Their whole self-image is based on being either faux-French or not-American.
They would like more than anything to be Europeans, but they just don't have that certain je ne sais quois to pull it off.
It's sort of sad, really.

Stompin Tom is a classic. Totally down east but he looks like he grew up in Calgary. Also not to be forgotten, the Great Hank Snow.
On the US side of the border my favorites are Hank Williams and Bobby Bare. Everything after that is Pop.

I thought I read somewhere that Canada was America's imbecile cousin in the attic. And Mexico is the cranky maid who lives in the basement? ;-)

I am all in favor of giving Texas back to Mexico I'd be happy if we reverted to the Republic of Texas.

In my late Father's day, he served with Canadians who were not afraid to defend freedom. Not afraid to lay down their lives for a better world. Sadly, most of those brave men are now dead and their offspring have brought their nation down to the level of a bad joke.
Sorry, Beav, but if the shoe fits... You have to wear it.
Maybe if someone comes knocking and kills some 3,000 innocent Canadians, they may get their soul and courage back. Yet, I fear, they would only apologize to their killers.
Here is hope for a future return to a better Canada that my old man knew well...

Poutine is a popular fast food in Quebec. I liked it but some may find it an acquired taste.

Here is the same post to any of your fellow French-Canadians:
Dans la guerre mondiale deux mon père a servi avec les Canadiens qui n'avaient pas peur pour défendre la liberté. Non effrayé d'établir leurs vies pour un meilleur monde. Tristement, les la plupart de ceux bravent des hommes sont maintenant des morts et leur progéniture ont réduit leur nation au niveau d'une mauvaise plaisanterie.
Désolés, Beav, mais si les ajustements de chaussure... Vous devez la porter.
Peut-être si quelqu'un vient frappant et tue environ 3.000 Canadiens innocents, ils peuvent récupérer leur âme et courage. Cependant, je crains, ils ferais des excuses seulement à leurs tueurs.
Voici l'espoir pour un futur retour vers le meilleur Canada que mon vieil homme a bien su...

Sorry, I don't have a gif of the 1st Special Service Force patch that would pass the French only laws...

So we not only have an inferiority complex but we're masochists.
Lagrass is still an idiot.
As WC Fields said when a women accused him of being drumk.
"Mr. Fields you are drunk!"
"Yes madame I am drunk but tomorrow morning I'll be sober and you will still be ugly."

Years ago I went up to Vancouver, Canada with spouse on a business trip. We were taken out to dinner and a club. The entertainment was so dull, I said, "He sings here at night so he can afford to drive his cab all day." Spouse kicked me under the table, but our Canadian hosts didn't get it. I thought it rather summed up Canada.
