The official "I love Canadians" thread

[LynneSin]

You guys are two :thumbsup: :thumbsup: in my book!!

If you ever want to visit the US you can crash on my sofa!

[Cygnusx2112]

1. Canada gave us Rush...

...so they're very cool in my book.

Plus, they have to stop if pedestrians step into a crosswalk or onto the street. How civilized!

[driver8]

7. They also gave us Max Webster, Labatts, and Molson!!

[BarenakedLady]

47. Can't forget BnL.

:applause:

[Darth_Kitten]

2. What did we do?

:shrug:

heck, where are you? :D

[LynneSin]

18. You've been very nice to me

I'm in Toronto this week

I mean, I'm an America, we've not once but twice allowed an idiot to run our country. Hell, that's enough reason to kick me out of the country right there!

[Darth_Kitten]

43. Wow, you find Toronto friendly. :)

:evilgrin:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

3. Dude, all of Canada can fit on your sofa?

How the hell does your sofa fit in your little pissant "state?"

:hide:

[LynneSin]

15. I'll force the cats to sleep on the floor

They tend to lounge all over the sofa but with Abbott's fat ass, if I move him off the sofa we'll have extra room. And I suppose if there is an overflow some of them can camp out in my bedroom.

And my state is not pissant - mighty big words coming from the Armpit of America

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

17. I do not live in the Armpit of America.

It is very pretty here.

Does it look like those pics were taken in an armpit?

[LynneSin]

19. Not only does it look like an armpit

I've driven through some areas that smell just damn nasty :wtf:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

20. Yeah, but most of the state doesn't smell like that.

[Lautremont]

22. I don't want to bust in, nor engage in cruel Jersey bashing,

but I just drove through some of that state for the first time, and it really did stink! Came out of the Holland Tunnel, drove a bit, and then whammo! a stink like I've never smelled. Kept driving west, crossed the Delaware, and poof! The air was fresh.

Now I know the whole state doesn't smell like that, because it couldn't possibly. But that was my experience.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

23. The bad smell should have dissipated once you were past the industrial

areas.

I live in Morris County, which is northwest Jersey. A lot of it is really rural with woods and farms.

[Lautremont]

25. I agree - it should have!

I believe I drove through Morris County. Very pleasant! (uh, except for the smell...)

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

26. That's weird. It has the crisp autumn smell by my house.

:shrug:

[Floogeldy]

4. I do not know any Canadians.

However, based on my personal research, it is a very good country. ;)

[crim son]

8. You know me.

I might be living here in the U.S.A., but I am Canadian. Okay, Canadian/American... I have dual citizenship.

[Floogeldy]

9. True.

I support you all of the way, crim son. :)

[crim son]

14. And I support you too!

:hug:

[Skittles]

10. same here

strange, I have never met a Canadian but my impression of them is very favorable; yes INDEED :thumbsup:

[Floogeldy]

16. I've never even heard of a bad Canadian!

:) :toast:

[ghostsofgiants]

50. Our Prime Minister is a douche.

[Lethe]

5. Boards of Canada kicks ass!

sorry had to get that in :P

[enigmatic]

55. Fantatic band

I've played them on my overnight show often; great call..

[Guava Jelly]

6. One of my very favorite Duers is canadian

And she plays a mean triangle :)

[u4ic]

27. Now I wonder

who that might be...?



:*

[Guava Jelly]

28. Oh i Dunno

:loveya:
:hi:

[Reciprocity]

11. My favorite two Canadians, the McKenzie brothers.

[Lautremont]

12. Thanks!

I won't ask why the outpouring of love, as by this point I simply accept it as a national entitlement.

[graywarrior]

13. I love Canadians......LOVE EM!

[u4ic]

30. Even their driving?

;-)

[billyskank]

35. Your driving isn't THAT bad

:P

[u4ic]

38. Mine, personally?

Well, thank you. :*

(greywarrior was calling out how lousy Canucks were driving in the US)


Hope you're doing well, billy! Have a great day, and g'night! :hug:

[billyskank]

40. G'night, babe!

:* :loveya:

:hug:

[graywarrior]

54. You guys remember everything.

:scared:

[graywarrior]

53. No, I hate their driving. They're idiots behind the wheel.

But I love them...LOVE THEM!

[Haole Girl]

21. This is a true story about the first time I met Canadians:

I was on a train, from Davis, California to Seattle, WA. The plan was to get to Seattle to spend my 16th birthday with my best friend. Well, what is the expression about best laid plans...? The train stopped in the middle of Oregon. Then, it started to go backward, for over two hours... kid you not. I didn't make it to Seattle for my 16th birthday, but some very nice young men, who said they were from Canada, played cards with me (and even offered me a drink ;-)) in "the dome car." We had a great time...and they kept me company and made my sweet sixteen a memorable one. I have had a special place in my heart for Canadians, ever since!

It's a true story...

The End.

[Reciprocity]

24. Wow what a great birthday memory.

I raise my glass of white wine in a toast to "some very nice young men".

[clyrc]

29. For some reason, there are many Canadians where I live

And most of them are ridiculously nice. I once told an Egyptian man who lives here that I didn't understand why so many people assumed that I'm Canadian, and he told me it was because I'm so polite.

Funnily enough, though, the person I like least on the campus I live on is Canadian. She is a very difficult woman with a huge ego, and she has spread false rumors about both of my daughters, who are now 8 and 11, for no good reason I can think of. She has made me so angry I have actually seen red, and had to restrain myself from going to her villa and punching her. Mostly, though, I've taken the high road, and not even engaged in the kind of silly war she seems to love, and it has worked well.

Other than that, the Canadians are the most friendly people around.

[Oeditpus Rex]

31. I love some of 'em

I'm jealous of all of 'em. x(

[u4ic]

33. Do I belong

in just one category? :P

:D

[Oeditpus Rex]

37. At least

:loveya:

[u4ic]

41. .

:*

[enigmatic]

32. I love it here

I'm truly, madly, deeply, utterly in love with Canada, zonker quirks and all. I don't want to live anywhere else; hell, I've taken up Curling; I've assimilated!:)

[u4ic]

34. You're more Canadian than me!

Heck, I watched curling once for about 10 minutes...

[billyskank]

36. You're a scouser at heart really

Deep down you're just dying to put on a blue jersey and yell "EVERTON!!"

:D

[u4ic]

39. A'right theh!!

:spank:

(sorry, no headbutting smilies):rofl:

[ghostsofgiants]

49. Curling is way better if you're participating.

One of the very few sports I've participated in and actually kind of enjoyed.

[u4ic]

51. That I do not doubt

The same goes with a few of my favourite sports, like show jumping and fencing. :hi:


As for ski jumping...I'm content to sit and watch...;-)

[SeattleGirl]

42. Hi E!!!

I've never been to your part of Canada, but I've been to Vancouver once, and to Victoria about 10 times, and I love both places, as well as the people who live there.

[enigmatic]

61. Hey SG!

How was your birthday?

It's a full-blown love affair w/ Canada now...

[wildhorses]

44. ....

:loveya:

[terrya]

45. I love Canadians

They are wonderful. Aces in my book.

[LostinVA]

46. I do -- I'd LOVE to live in Victoria!

[ghostsofgiants]

48. Yeah, we're pretty rad.

:P

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

57. Oh please, get off your high horse.

:rofl:

[ghostsofgiants]

58. Fuck you.

:P

(It's such a lovely view from up here, though.)

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

59. Kiss my sweet ass.

:P

[u4ic]

52. I never, ever thought,

in my lifetime, that I'd hear we were 'cool'. Not 'cold', just 'cool'.

There have been mumblings...



:D :hi:

[ghostsofgiants]

60. The heater in my apartment is busted, I'm goddamn freezing.

x(

[sarge43]

56. My grandfather was Canadian and

I'm very proud of that. Good people, good neighbors. :hug:

[Patiod]

62. Why do Montrealeans ignore lights &Torontans NEVER jaywalk?

Was in Toronto, then flew to Montreal.

In Toronto, no one jay-walked, even when it was bitterly cold and windy and you could see a vehicle for miles.

In Montreal, people ignore the red light and walk right out in front of traffic.

[Parche]

63. canadians

Hey Hey, that is just wrong...............
