Please Explain further

So what? I doubt 1 in 100 americans can name their OWN president. :p


No way. The way bush has been acting, I think everyone in the world can name the american president.

I hope nobody bases their oppinion of Canada on this lunatic's views. Obviously a chain like letter.

OP Please take this racist, condecending, self pitying crap and shove it up where the sun don't shine.

I am french Canadian and proud of it.

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 peace keeping, 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 AM QUÉBECIOS!
I'm not unemployed, or smuggling cigarettes across the border

I don't eat Pepsi and Mae West for breakfast

I don't watch the hockey game while doing it doggy style.

And no, I don't know Claude, Manon or Francois in Abitibi-Temiscamingue,

but I'm sure they have nice teeth

I smoke in church

I speak Quebecois and Jouale, not French or English

I pronounce it 'turd' not 'third'

And eating french fries with cheese makes sense, mon oesti!

I believe in distinct society as long as someone else pays for it

I believe in language police not equal rights

And caulice, I believe that Club Supersexe is an appropriate place for my wife and me to celebrate our anniversaire,

what the hell, she goes on at ten anyway!

In Quebec, the Stanley Cup actually comes around more often than Halley's Comet

I can get beer at the Dépanneur, not the convenience store!

And maybe I can't turn right on a red light, but tabarnacle! I can go right through it!

Because Quebec is the world's largest producer of maple syrup,

the home of Celine Dion AND Roch Voisine

The land where everybody is shacking up

And the drinking age is just a suggestion!

Je m'appelle Gui

And I am NOT Canadian! (Mautadit tabarnacle oesti...Merci bonjour la visite)

I love how you exagerate stuff
But you're right, we're too highly taxed
And anyways, Alberta would separate way before Quebec could do it safely.


How do you tell a Quebec MP riding is wise ?
They never vote for the current government except when the previous was really awful...
(See Quebec City area)

"Although they are unpatriotic and constantly try to separate, Quebec
still provides my nation's prime ministers."

Doesn't every referendum called for separation end up being defeated by a majority of Quebec voters? Seems like they did before I moved to the States, haven't been keeping up since. Also, Stephen Harper is from Ontario. So is Paul Martin, Kim Campbell is from B.C., John Turner is from England (yes, the U.K.), and Joe Clark is from Alberta. So really all you've got is Chretien and Mulroney, and the latter went to university in Nova Scotia.
