Is deleting somebody for being Canadian a legitimate reason?

    Was OP 1st post a joke? I think this may be a joke thread. But it does get me a bit when I hear some Americans don't like us. Being Canadian is a gift. I am so fortunate to have been born here <3 Its a great country filled with great values & good people.

    I read a thread on mfp where someone was asking medical advice and said don't say go for tests because I can't afford it. that's so sad, I have had the best care free (I pay taxes, so its not free but you don't have to pay for a medical bill) and I've used quite a bit of the health care $. I am 110% happy my children were born here and get to have the best of everything (as long as they don't elect someone like Harper)

    You can ask me anything about Canada and I won't have anything to say I hate other than our neighbours thoughts on us...

    Has anyone seen when Rick Mercer Talking to Americans? LOL http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=rick+mercer+talking+to+americans&oq=rick+m&gs_l=youtube.1.1.0l4j0i3j0l5.17.17.0.1832.1.1.0.0.0.0.150.150.0j1.1.0...0.0...1ac.1.11.youtube.2e4M6ug8EE4

    It's a joke. And it's OK. Because we Canadians have an awesome sense of humor.

    I am Canadian and let me tell you, being Canadian is actually a great thing. we have beautiful people and we have ugly people. just like any race. I for one am a great person, have great friends, and i take care of every one that is in my life and i am glad to do it, and for that i have people that love me around me. also, canadian parents are one of the best parents you can have. Sometimes they can be really strict, but they will take care of you no matter what, and they will buy you what ever it is that you need. as long as your not a selfish ****head. Also, we all have great jobs, lots of money and a family that we all love and take care of.

    I'm not reading through six pages to find out if someone else said that it's probably NOT the maple syrup making your keyboard sticky...

    and that it probably IS a direct result of the fact that us Canadian chicks are freaking hot.

    Just saying.


    oh... and the answer is NO

    omg i want poutine now, but I need to start cleaning up my diet. I have been eating so well (calorically), but I know I am not achieving what I want because I am eating garbage...but it looks...so..good
  • Posts: 834 Member

    If you don't know, then you don't deserve to have Canadians on your FL.

    Hee hee agreed! I loves me some poutine, and I'm not Canadian! Thank goodness you can get it vegetarian in Montreal but not here in NH which is a good thing because eating things like this is what made me fat in the first place! :tongue:

    Right!! This!! I'm half and half, anyway, so I can go both ways. I'm flexible like that.

    You aren't fooling anyone. My current profile pic is of me on PEI. Just look at how backwards that place is. Those cars are from at the latest the 1970s. They can't even keep theri roads clean either. Do you see all that debris that kid is standing in?

    Lol, that pic was taken in the 70's silly!!!!

    It's always a joke. Americans do not dislike Canadians. They just find it humorous that Canadians don't always know it's a joke.

    FFS. I can't believe people can get offended by this. Canadian jokes are funny to Americans because they make no sense. Canadians are some of the nicest people many of us have ever met and making them the butt of jokes works exactly because of that. It's like the invading Canada skit on South Park, or the reference to North Montana in "Meet the Robinsons" or, on another level, naming the massive dude in the gym "Tiny."

    This is why I'm marrying a Canadian chick.

    It's kind of like New Jersey, except we all really do hate New Jersey.

    The joke there is calling New Jersey the "Garden State." Okay yea, talk about Princeton all you want but Newark is a lot to make up for . . .

    Ask him how long it takes to make a left turn.

    Also, just break up. =P

    Hahaha ... as a Canadian, gotta say that I was not offended at all. But you forgot to mention God's way of saying he loves Canadians -- our bacon.

    So that's why we're overweight ... what's your excuse?

    "Hey.
    I'm not a lumberjack, or a fur trader...
    and I don't live in an igloo
    or eat blubber, or own a dogsled...
    and I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada,
    although I'm certain they're really, really nice.
    I have a Prime Minister, not a President.
    I speak english and french, NOT american.
    and I pronounce it 'ABOUT', NOT 'A BOOT'.
    I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack.
    I believe in peace keeping, NOT policing.
    DIVERSITY, NOT assimilation,
    AND THAT THE BEAVER IS A TRULY PROUD AND NOBLE ANIMAL.
    A TOQUE IS A HAT, A CHESTERFIELD IS A COUCH,
    AND IT IS PRONOUNCED 'ZED' NOT 'ZEE' . . . 'ZED'!!!
    CANADA IS THE SECOND LARGEST LAND MASS!
    THE FIRST NATION OF HOCKEY!
    AND THE BEST PART OF NORTH AMERICA!
    MY NAME IS ANNE!!
    AND I AM CANADIAN!"

    Aw, haven't heard this in so long! Love it.

    Yes and hockey is our religion

    As a life long resident of Pittsburgh, I appreciate Canada for providing us with the ALL TIME greatest hockey player (Mario) and the best in the game today (Sid).

    damn right. You haven't experienced life if you haven't experienced poutine.

    Would move to Canada for boobear! Proof of the "hot Canadians" theory. But dammit, I don't own any warm clothes.
