We actually LIKE the metric system (trust me, we don't)
I know this is over a year old, but I had to comment. I don't believe I've ever met a fellow Canadian who didn't like the metric system. It's a
heck
of a lot smarter than the imperial system.
And the RCMP does still dress in red and ride on horses. Not all the time, of course, but sometimes.
(This isn't meant as an attack on your post, by the way. Just saying.)
And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make. -

If a film said "America sucks" then it would be banned. We're used to Americans saying that Canada sucks, even from those who know nothing about Canada. But after the current events happening, this plot should even be re-made. When you consider certain circumstances, it wouldn't surprise me if the U.S. did start threatening us. I mean, we have oil after all, and it all goes south of the border. If we put a stop to that, we should be concerned for our lives.

ihy - Why do Canadians always say such stupid things?
Now, see, that's a generalization. Just because one Canadian on this board said one stupid thing, you assume that all Canadians say stupid things. Why, I do believe what you said was a stupid thing to say in and of itself. So here goes:

"That's easy. Look who their president is! It's called "Follow the Leader"."
LOL!!
Really, there are a lot of things on YouTube for example that attempt to make fun of Canada, But they don't offend us much.
Like the song Canadian Idiot by Weird Al Yankovich. I love it!

The Irish gave the bagpipes to the Scotts as a joke, but the Scotts haven't seen the joke yet. -

I think some people who have become prominent in American media take this film a little too seriously, i.e. Ann Coulter.
I'm Canadian, and I love this movie. Actually, it's the only thing I can stand by Michael Moore. Only bits I found offensive were the comments about Neil Young. -

If you really want to find out what Americans are like, and why this movie is so spot on, go to Youtube and check out "Rick Mercer Talking to Americans". Point, set, match.
"Congratulations, Canada, on legalizing the stapler!"
Yup. -

Congratulations Canada, on legalizing hats and making your national animal the Timbit!
Canada doesn't get upset about any insults any country throws at us, really. Unless, as stated above, someone says American beer is better, in which case it's time to beat some ass.
You can't argue with my logic! Well, you can, but I won't listen!

Making your national animal the Timbit! That is brilliant! Is that actually a Mercer or is it your own? Cuz if it's your own, you should be writing for Mercer! -

That was Mercer's but I've been told many times I should be a writer of some sort (mostly from fans of my website).
My friends and I used to have a big list of things like Mercer's Talking to Americans, some of which I actually duped Americans with while I was down in Florida. It's incredibly fun.

Why not post some of your lists here? You've got a fan in me! -

Those lists are long gone, but I remember some of the stuff.
For one, I managed to convince some Virginians (who were staying at the hotel we were at in Florida) that Canada was covered in snow. Here's approximately what I said (all of this had a stereotypical Canadian accent)
"Yeah, we got polar bears up there, eh? We had to walk to the airport to get here 'cause we had to tie the dogs to the igloo, eh? 'Cause if you don't guard your igloo, bears'll come right in, take all your fish, eh? Then ya come back home, find all your food's gone, and ice fishing's pretty unreliable, it isn't pleasant to rely on catching at least 3 fish a day with it. Polar bears can be a real pain eh? Just last summer, actually, all of us had to get together, make a real big fence to separate the bears, 'cause we were gettin' polar bears breedin' with grizzlies, then you get really big, agressive bears. Just lucky it wasn't in winter, 'cause in winter, your igloo gets totally snowed over, eh? And you gotta build a new one. You just build that one pretty quick, eh, so it melts when summer comes, and then you've got your old igloo back."
I stopped talking there, because I was afraid I'd burst out laughing.
We (my brother and I) also convinced a different group of people that we just recently decided to make DVDs legal, (because until recently the government had been worried about the disks being used as weapons, eh?) and that beavers made excellent pets.
I know not all Americans are ignorant when it comes to Canadian matters, but damn, sometimes it sure seems like most of them are.
