Ask a Canadian!

[Eldritch Knight]

We could just nuke you still there's no one to resist though .

Here's why that won't work:

1. Canadian shield would disperse much of the radiation before it spread to far. There may be severe initial casualties, but the fallout would not do much.

2. While the radiation would not be able to spread north, it would spread south rapidly, and you would have millions in your northern states suffering from severe radiation poisoning.

3. Consider the world situation. How would the rest of the world react to the United States launching nukes at an ALLY?

[Midnight Son]

It's all moot anyway. you guys are cool froods who know where your towels are. (but please stop putting mayo on my burger)

[Indurain]

Okay...let's curb the My nuke can kick your hockey stick's ass debate.

Everyone just drink a beer and chill out. Though I recommend Canadian (or Australian) beer as American beer...well...you know.

[Eldritch Knight]

Personally, I prefer the Tim Horton's Hot Smoothies, but I can't find them where I am. (Ironic, because I live where HQ is.) Probably a seasonal thing.

[Nomrom]

Since I kind of started the my country is better than your's thing, I'd like to apologize to the Canadians whose thread I helped momentarily hijack. I guess my American pride is a little too strong.

[Penguinsushi]

Do people realize they have some really cool indie bands and therefore listen to them?
[...]
Not to mention legendary musicians like Neil Young.

Quoted for awesomeness - even though that part of the conversation was way-the-frell back there.

Other favs being the Weakerthans and Our Lady Peace. There are probably a few more on my list as well...

~PS

[Eldritch Knight]

No problem.. You'll find that some Canadian's are more patriotic then their american counterparts.

[North]

I suppose i shouldn't say this seeing as how this is a highly important military secret. If found out Ill just say im some internet crackpot.

Hidden in the Rocky Mountains are 70,000 "Mountie" Class Gundam style Robot Destroyers.

And thats just the start....

Fortunetly we are all happy friends with the exchange of good American tv for premium Canadian beer.

Now lets all just have a beer eh?

OLP used to be good. Then they started getting popular world wide with their more...wimpy songs. If you go back in their catalogue and listen to Naveed you'll see how OLP used to be really good, not just mediocre.

Oh, I don't doubt that at all. I like to think I'm doing quite good myself, though. If the Canadians here are a good indication of the general population, you guys must be bursting with national pride. Are they? Look a question for Canadians. We're back on topic!

I am. My first tattoo was a Maple Leaf. Not very creative, but I always hold my Canadian heritage as a point of pride.

I have most of their stuff. I think they're still good, but I'll agree they used to be stronger. Still, I think our definitions of their best stuff would be different. My main thing is that I don't think Gravity and Healthy In Paranoid Times are as good as their previous work. I started listening to them when Clumsy came out and I bought it and Naveed at the same time. Naveed is a good record as well.

I must admit I'm a big fan of Spiritual Machines (and the book it was inspired by).

A nuclear explosion would likely ignite the vast coal deposits in Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Ontario. This, alongside Alberta's Oil Sands, would see the land burn for at least several decades.

And Al Gore would be really ticked off.

Plus a lot of filming studios are up here. Entertainment junkies wouldn't risk it.

I live in Saskatchewan. We have a a natural immunity to the Extremes, as ordinary flesh boils in our summers and we have normal Canadian winters.

Yay back on topic!

Yes most Canadians are bursting with national pride.

Once a year every Canadian blood alcahol level is checked. Randomly. Unless its at least 2% alcahol they are deported to Haiti.

Unless theyre packing maple syrup.

SM was when I stopped buying their albums. Naveed, Clumsy, and Happiness are all good albums, but after "Life" I just felt like things had gotten too angsty for me.

Do Canadians really say Eh? One of my friends has Canadian family and she says they do, but I've hears others say they don't. I'm guessing its a regional thing like ya'll in America.

I recently had this discussion with a friend. While we don't say it as much as we're portrayed to, we certainly do say it. Thing is we're so used to saying it, that we barely notice when we do any more.

Make sense?

[North]

Eh is the multipurpose word. Its can be used for just about anything.

In the prairies of western Canada its not unheard of to hear

"Y'all want a beer eh?"

[Eldritch Knight]

We do.

Now, another thing about Canadians is that not only are they proud of their national heritage, they are also proud of their ethnic heritage. Take me, for example. I am decended from "East Coast Left Handed Bagpipe Technicians."

Any of our American comrades know the reference?

Yeaahhh, those were good too! Also The Tea Party? I'm probably not going to remember more than those, but I tell you, very good stuff.


Edit: Also, talking about war sucks. Nobody wants to have a war with anyone. Nobody cares who would win or who would side with whom. And past wars have been an awful mistake. Besides, it's impolite at the very least to talk about war against Canada when this thread is an invitation from a Canadian to talk about his country and culture.

[Indurain]

QFT! The Tea Party are...well...were great. Another Canadian band that kinda petered out. Their early stuff is amazing, but they started going really mainstream as their career went on. Gone were the Eastern infulenced songs, in were the generic rock riffs. It was really sad. But at least I got to see them play live before the downfall.

They were really cool, with those eastern influences and brooding thing. And the singer also had a Morrison thing going on. I wouldn't be surprised if most of these bands still made music today, but I wouldn't expect it to be the same...

Except for Sloan, they still rule I think.

Also, I've learned in the guitar the song by Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet made popular for being the theme to Kids In The Hall. Awesome.

[Zeb The Troll]

Okay, just found this thread and I apologize for the late entry but...

HOLY CRAP! Someone else has heard of Moxy Fruvous?

*dances a happy dance while humming "Darlington Darling"*

[Xuincherguixe]

As another Canadian I can verify that everything North has said is true. Also, British Columbia is not controlled by music, because it is instead controlled by a brutal cartel of drug lords who all strangely wear squirrel hats.

We don't ask why. We learned our lesson.

[Gygaxphobia]

I like Canada, it reminds me that the Queen is in charge of more of the American continent thatn the US President is :)

Amen. You forgot about NZ beer though. We're like the southern Canada, right next to a powerful but dumb country, with awful beer.

Hey don't get me wrong I like Canada, even better than I like where I am now. I 've considered moving there in the future. I just think we'd win in a war.

As the Cheerleader said "Dont go there"

If youd like start a new thread for Canada vs US

[KoDT69]

So are any Canadians here offended by the South Park movie?

Can you take Celine Dion back home?

Can we keep Avril Lavigne?
