Yes, it's playoff time, and whenever the Lightning get matched up against a Canadian team it becomes highly annoying.

I opted for family and friends. I find most Canadian jokes amusing but the only term I hate is the 'Canuk' one. Ugh.

Other than a very few political elitest Canadians (don't worry, none on this board), I like Canadians, and I find their woman to be quite exquisite.

Heh. My cousin lives in Colorado. Usually the insults exchanged between him and my dad (who is a total red wings fanatic) are pretty funny around hockey playoff time.
Anyways, if there's anything South Park taught me, it's that Canadians have flapping heads and beady eyes (kidding).

"Just like Americans only they live in Canada."
The news was that the new government has decided to no longer honor the dead from the war in Iraq. They have taken the US position (big surprise) to not mention the growing death toll. They have foresaken their previous policy of lowering the flag after any military death. They are even following the US "lead" of not letting photographs be taken of the returning coffins.
And before that news, I thought the only difference between the US and Canada was...
1) gays can marry
2) all they talk about is hockey.
But after reading most of this thread, I guess difference #2 can be dropped!
Post by: Scani on April 25, 2006, 05:00:46 pm
I would place that to a recent change in government that is moving towards the right. I'm not sure if I like it too much, but it seems like the rhetoric out of government recently has been very "pro-Bush" for lack of other words.
Canadians are... fond of that *gasp* Anne Murray, too! :P

Failing? They're up 2-0 over the Stars, winning both road games. Things are looking really good for them so far.
Here's hoping for yet another Sens playoff choke. Really if it weren't for one bad period we'd be up 2-0, too.
Game 3 tonight. Gonna be a tough one. Go Bolts!

seriously, i happen to know a few canadians, online. (will avoid "canuck," even though my canadian buddies don't seem to mind it.) they're... i dunno... not different? from most american people i've met. i myself am looking into the possibility of going to canada, to finish my cs degree.
but as much as i like my canadian friends, they exist, and thus, they shall be made fun of... =)

Sens choke mainly against the Leafs and the Leafs failed to make the playoffs (har har)...it'll be tight against the Bolts and Sens though, I'll give it that.
I'm more worried about the Sens playing Montreal. Eeep!
So much for the second option, Party Pony?
Might wanna put it back up. I haven't been paying much attention to the news lately about our government. This news about the Iraq war death toll is new to me. =/ The whole 'pro-Bush' lets follow the States! is not new, however.

Oh and zeralia, as the closest active furtopian to me, i must say that i am also sota rooting for the sens. but that stupid thing about them on CTV the other day was just uncalled for... i mean half the news was just SENS SENS SENS SENS, even had a long time news anchor is a sens jursey outside the.. what is it called, Correll Center?*munches on a beaver tail* Canada FTW!

Heh. I sympathize. I could drive to Canada from where I'm at too. Only problem is that the cloest region to me is Quebec, which I understand is to Canada as to what Texas is to the United States (which in this case is the "WE SHOULD SUCEDE (but we won't)!" state).

There's one major point that sets us Canadians apart from Americans. Simply put... We're not Americans. *sagely nods*
Seriously though...
Let's see...
We've got poutine, which Americans simply can't understand... or digest...
We've got universal health care...
We've got a lot of (really good) candy bars they don't get...
We've got lots of differences, albeit subtle, that help us maintain our national pride...
Oh, and...
We're the reason why the White House is white. Heheheh...

Hey, i can bicycle to canada from where im at!
Oh, and usually on my trips to quebeck to get the best 'french'fries on earth, they have ketchup, but nonetheless, many look at me wired for putting it on them. *srhugs*
And now about quebec...... its WAYY more than texas, and seeing as i understand a bit about canadian politics, here goes; They have there OWN political party, called the 'quebecua'... or something like that. Anyway, in the elections they are allowed to vote for the said party only in quebeck, which is basically voting for the individual members of parlament, so therefore, they have as much power as any other political party in canada, only there main goal is pretty much to persue quebec's intrests. Its wired, and sorta comes off as if one goverment's trying to govern two countries, just one country has its own political party..... or maybe im just rambling, i keep we-typing this and i cant figure out what im even trying to say. Dammint i have a headache now >.<. Point is, that unlike texas, Quebec really is differint from the rest of canada.
So.. what can i say about canadians... trying to figure out there goverment will make your head hurt XD.
Post by: Benjamin on May 02, 2006, 12:07:38 am
The reason why Quebecers look at you funny when you put ketchup on your fries is because it makes you look like an alien. French Canadians (and some English ones) prefer something called "poutine"... which consists of french fries topped with cheese (usually cheese curd style) and gravy. It's sloppy, yet yummy...

Cheese on fries I've done before, and it's not half bad. But gravy. . . Well. . . We do that with our baked potatoes, so I guess that's not too big of a stretch.
The one that kind of puzzles me is the same one from The Whole 9 Yards -- burgers with mayonaise (we used to call it "lard") on them. Does a hamburger really need the extra fat?

Hey.
I'm not a lumberjack, or a fur trader....
I don't live in an igloo or eat blubber, or own a dogsled....
and I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada,
although I'm certain they're... really really nice.
I have a Prime Minister, not a president.
I speak English and French, not American.
And I pronounce it 'about', not 'a boot'.
I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack.
I believe in peacekeeping, not policing,
diversity, not assimilation,
and that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal.
A toque is a hat, a chesterfield is a couch,
and it is pronounced 'ZED'! Not 'zee'... 'ZED'!
Canada is the second largest landmass!
The first nation of hockey...
...and the best part of North America!
My name is Joe!
And I AM CANADIAN!!!

) I love the Canucks (hockey team) but I must admit they did pretty frigin bad this year, especialy in the last game *shakes head disapontedly*
poutine is awsome,
some beavers ate a picnic table once that I heard of...
Bob and Doug McKenzie rock (you may remember them as the moose from the movie "Brother Bear" )
I say 'eh' alot, without even thinking about it,
Canadian comedians rock (Corner Gas, Just for Laughs comedy festival, Ha!ifax Comedy festival, Colin Mocary, Jim Carrey to name a few)
I'm not offended by the term "Canuk" becasue to me they are a hockey team, the Vancouver Canucks.

Baconstrip, that is exactly how I would describe my month in Canada. Toronto just seemed more peaceful. It had all the big city pizazz, and it was absolutely sparkling clean. It was the cleanest big city I'd ever been to. The poor guys and the rich guys, the gays and the straight dudes, the potheads and the evangelecals all get along. I love toronto to death.
