What do you hate about Canada?

[Orsino]

Poll question: What do you hate about Canada?

[terrya]

1. The fact that they have better beer than we do.

That's...it. :-)

T

[tjdee]

2. Their clean streets, the freaks.

The first time I went over the border to see Niagara Falls from the Canada side, I thought I was entering a bizarro universe where everything was ultra clean.

It was a long time ago, but I still have this vision of Canada as being too clean, like they think they're better than us dirty Americans.
:silly:

[KamaAina]

3. Too cold. And they make it sound even colder with their Celsius.

Anywhere but BC, zero is practically beach weather!

Now what we need is a country with a free press, good beer (and whatever :smoke: ), plenty of Tim Hortons, no Bush**, and a tropical (or Mediterranean) climate!!

[cruadin]

26. That whole metric system up there is cause for suspicion.

What are they up to with that Celsius?
Why do they need a separate temperature scale?
Are they sending some kind of secret codes to the rest of the world?

It's all a little TOO foreign--if you know what I mean--Christ, they even use different money up there...WTF!


:tinfoilhat:

[KamaAina]

27. And they think they can fool us by calling the money "dollars".

Christ, they even use different money up there...

The bills are pink, for Pete's sake! Pink! Talk about (or 'aboot') "funny money"! Don't even get me started on the dollar coin, aptly named the "loonie"...

[cruadin]

29. Yeah...there's definitely something fishy going on up there.

I'll be sleeping with one eye open----they're sly and crafty, those Canadians.

;)

4. Nickleback

Ran into those tools in a bar on Wed. night. Such huge egos and so little to back it up with.

[tuvor]

7. Don't mind them. They're from Alberta.

:evilgrin:

[FrankBooth]

8. I lived in Alberta for 7 years as a kid

I enjoyed it ... I didn't know any better!

[Brundle_Fly]

11. I am in Alberta right now!

I have many many liberal friends.

[tuvor]

14. Odds are, then, you're in Edmonton.

My hometown.

:hi:

[enigmatic]

18. I'm living there now!

Watching Edmonton A-Channel News Now as we speak...

[tuvor]

23. Hello, enigmatic!

I've been bad and haven't listened to your radio programs much at all. I'm currently ripping my entire CD collection, so I can't listen to much else for probably a couple of weeks.

:(

Did you play any Britney like you promised a few weeks back?

Cheers!

[enigmatic]

24. I did!

Between Motorhead and Johnny Dowd!:)

Taking a break from moving; getting a "penthouse" apartment in my little building....

[tuvor]

31. Ah, yes, we also had a "penthouse" suite

in an old walkup on 119th and Jasper. Winter really sucked in that place!

Oh, and thanks for playing Britney!!!

[FrankBooth]

15. Actually, I have very fond memories

It was an idyllic childhood really. Except for the 9 months of snow.

[tuvor]

13. Hey, I spent my first 30 there!

Nothing really that bad about it at all compared to any other province. I just prefer the west coast.

[FrankBooth]

16. All of my friends from Alberta have relocated

to the lower mainland. Except for a few who moved to Regina!

[LDS Jock]

5. here a u, there a u, everywhere a u u

Enough with the extra u!

[tuvor]

6. I hate our extra u's.

They're silent and useless.

[tjdee]

9. Very similar to our pennies.

:)

[HalfManHalfBiscuit]

22. Is that a code word for penis?

You never know with them Canadians.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

42. I grew up in Maine.

There's way too much Canadian money circulating in that state. For the sake of simplicity, retailers treat Canadian coins that are less than a dollar as though they have the same value as their American counterparts. I always hated getting Canadian coins as change because I couldn't use them in a vending machine or at the laundromat.

[Spider Jerusalem]

10. Other than the fact that I'm here instead of there?

[Sanity Claws]

12. A national anthem in two languages

What are they trying to do? Teach tolerance? You know what leads to, don't you? SpongeBob SquarePants -- that's what.

[iconoclastic cat]

17. #1: HEyHEY.

:wtf:

[HEyHEY]

21. As long as I'm getting SOME recognition

[iconoclastic cat]

25. I hate their snuggliness!

*copycat reply

[DrGonzoLives]

19. Loverboy

Mark my words...one day, Canada will pay dearly for that crime against humanity.

[HEyHEY]

20. I hate their smugness!

[Kellanved]

28. I have to go with Celine Dion

But what about Karl Heinz Scheiber? :shrug:

[orpupilofnature57]

30. Not a damn thing !!!

[meppie-meppie not]

32. just for my American mates...

[DODI]

36. That is one of the funniest things I have ever read!

Thanks. We will be up in July, when the thaw starts.

[morningglory]

38. They are all probably lying on top of the snow right now,

thinking it's a heat wave.

[Hotdiggitydog]

33. Too Cold. eom.

[Danmel]

34. Well if it's not Celine Dion, It has to be Ann Murray

The extra u's look really nice written out.

[baldguy]

35. Lorne Green

William Shatner
Michael J Fox
Mike Meyers
Dave Thomas

Do you see a pattern here? It's not good 'ol AMERICAN actors that are turning Hollywood into a Liberal cesspool - IT'S THE CANADIANS!

[morningglory]

37. I hate the way they walk on the streets at 11pm without fear.

In ice and snow with hardly any clothes on, pretending they are not afraid or cold. Snotty bunch. And their press: always wondering what the most reasonable policy would be! Buncha curlin' cheeseballs, eh?(sarcasm off)

[Mitt Chovick]

39. 90% of them live within 100 miles of the American border

They must be planning an invasion or something :lol:

[eyepaddle]

40. There's so much to hate...

I don't know where to start. Oh wait; yes I do, Celine Dion! I know slightly more than half of Americans deserve Celine Dion--but what about the rest of the world? WHat'd they ever do to Canada? Huh?

:P

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

41. I didn't like it when they ripped me off...

when I spent American money at a store in Canada about 11 years ago. They didn't figure in the exchange rate. I only lost about a dollar or two, but I was still annoyed. I was only a freshman in high school at that time and I was there on a school trip. I could have used the extra money to buy a snack or something.

[HEyHEY]

43. I've got that 50 cents in my hand right now bwahaha

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

44. Enjoy your snickers bar on my behalf.

;)

[Osamasux]

45. Hmmm, Celine Dion or Hockey?

Tough call.
