    The last time I made a joke about Canadians an equivalent number of people laughed as reported me and I was severely reprimanded. Evidently, the large number of funny Canadians who come south and make it in Hollywood take with them an exhorbitant share of Canadian humor leaving those still there wanting in the giggle department. So for God's sake let's be careful joking about our sensitive northern neighbors. They're not all the Kids in the Hall after all.

    I'm OFFENDED! I'm still in Canada and I have an AWESOME sense of humor!! To prove it, I am REPORTING you!!! REPORTED, REPORTED, REPORTED!

    Ah, never mind. I'm craving bacon now. AND maple syrup. Off to find a snack.

    Canadians think ham is bacon.

    Hah - you guys are the ones that call it Canadian Ham - we call it back bacon and that's 'cause we're right. It's loin, not leg...

    Also, I truly believe that Canada is the Promised Land.

    Psh! Only if you like to have your *kitten* frozen off for half the year.... :bigsmile:

    pointless!!!

    dress for the weather and there is no problem

    And look like Stay Puffed? I didn't work on my girlish figure to hide it under clothes (as I bask in the 80F weather today :glasses: )

    There are many people on here who would KILL to freeze off half their *kitten*. Literally. WAY cheaper than plastic surgery.

    Hmmm.... this is true.

    Well I think we can agree Canada isn't all THAT great. They did produce Justin Bieber.

    Say WHAT? That is awesome! I am so collecting that collectable coin.


    WHAT? Sorry I couldn't hear you over our booming economy and free health care.

    :wink: :laugh: :happy:

    Except IT'S NOT FREE! Somebody has to pay for it... I'm sure there isn't a country of Doctors and Nurses and Administrators that are just showing up to work for free... I'm sure the medicine isn't paying for itself... and I'm sure the companies aren't just giving it away.... You still are paying for healthcare... you just may not have a co-pay everytime you go to the doctor... Why do people keep insisting it's Free when it's not? Not technically... not really.... not at all.


    Sorry, pet peeve of mine. :grumble:

    All I know is that I'm on medication for life for an autoimmune illness and I pay $2000 a year, whereas in the US it would cost me closer to $10,000, and that's before you count in all the doctor and specialist appointments I have to go to annually, which don't cost me an extra cent. Thanks, fellow Canucks, for helping me out!

    Anytime I hear that people have to go into debt because of medical bills, it makes me incredibly sad. Access to healthcare is a right in the minds of Canadians, not a privilege.

    STOP IT!! MAKE YOUR OWN HEALTHCARE THREAD OR I'LL MAKE ONE FOR YOU :angry:

    Yeah, sorry, I didn't refresh the thread before I responded so I totally missed your post. :blushing: :flowerforyou:

    You have my sincerest apologies.

    However, wasn't it mostly American 12-year-old girls who made him what he is today?

    *lol* this made me laugh.... And no amount of dinosaur coins can make up for the Biebs. Unless perhaps it comes with a free Maple syrup scented denomination as well...

    What you don't know is we produced him, and sent him south as a distraction....

    ....while everyone is focused on b*tching about him, we move in and take over.

    I think Justin Bieber was Canada's retaliation for Miley Cyrus...

    Um...he would still be nothing more than a kid on youtube if it wasn't for Usher trying to make a quick buck. So who's really to blame for that???
