ltk007 is right (the first part ;)). Some of you fellow Canadians need to step back a bit. You are NOT representing Canada in a very positive way be being so aggressive.

I'd also like to mention that not all Canadians are this aggressive. Some of you guys need a slap in the back of the head. Not everyone is like you, and you must respect that. I can ask who the president of Greenland is and I bet you won't know (with out searching it on the net, and yes it's valid since they are our "Neighbors").

Look, you know the last time the council told you that you stepped out of your igloo you were going to receive absolutely NO whale blubber until the spring hunt. Do you want me to tell?

The sad thing is, I have no idea who the leader of Mexico is.

Me neither. I'd like to apologize to any Mexicano members for not knowing who your President is.


so.. who is this Jean Chretien lady again?
Its a guy. Not very good looking, but he'll do for another year or so. ;)

I suppose its not that surprising they don't know who JC is - he's an old dried up SOB who couldn't care less :) But, thats just my opinion.

RSI - Fox.

It is huge news, the party that has been in power forever just got replaced.

So Canadians are insecure and ignorant.

Glad you liked to post. I'm sure you'll like the one I followed up with as well.

I think that Canadians like to make flaming posts as well.

I'm supposed to be scared from someone from Halifax? What the heck is antler-sword? If you want to really use a sword, you'll get your ass kicked.

Michael

ps - Where have I been wrong. The Canadians that previously posted got all bent out of shape because a couple of people didn't know who the Canadian PM was (insecure) and they didn't even know the name of the President of Mexico (ignorant).

<< Canadians can be so damned insecure. >>

For some, I agree. What I hate is when a Canadian is asked what being a Canadian means, the answer is often something stoopid like &quot;We're not Americans.&quot; Very irritating. We're not gonna make any friends by cutting down our friends down south.

Eug - I moved to the US about 10 years ago. I'm Canadian. Born in Montreal and grew up in Brossard, a suburb of Montreal. I joined a club called the SCA (SCA link if you really want to know what it is) and spent a fair bit of time in the US. It used to drive me crazy that Americans didn't know what I thought were simple things (like what's the name of the capital of Canada).

After living here for quite a while, I finally realized that it was insecurity. The US is such an overwhelming country that we tend to look for anything to show up the Americans, to show that we're &quot;superior&quot;. That just shows a Canadian failing, not an American failing.

The truth of the matter is that Canada is a great country. I am proud to be Canadian. Proud of our history, our culture, and the contribution that we have made and continue to make to the world.

The fact that we have managed to remain Canadian even with the US so close shows the strength of our country. I will be a US citizen within the next year, but I would not have done so if I had been forced to renounce my Canadian citizenship. I love, honour, and repect Canada and that same love, honour, and respect is growing in me for the USA as well. I have been blessed to have been able to live in two great countries and fortunate that I have lived all over the Us and have spent quite a bit of time in Europe as well.
