Why do Americans pick on Canada so much?

[zombie84]

Given the way things are going down there I kinda think it's the other way around.

You think the US could A: become Canada II or B: part of Canada.

More like Canada can become America Jr.

The United States of Canada!

4. The centerpiece of the Canadian flag is a maple leaf, which (while amusing enough on its own) bears a suspicious resemblance to a marijuana leaf.

I think you have to be stoned in the first place for that one to work, because for someone sober it's quite a stretch...

What the fuck are you talking about?

The leaves itself don't emit a massive stench. He was talking about a leaf, not one burning.

He said STRETCH, not STENCH.

On Tuesday I saw an experimental film where a Texan recounted the time he lived in Canada (primarily Quebec). He mentioned a joke that had been going around in the North for some time that Canada could probably take over the world if they wanted, but were too polite.

yeah, and the Federation could beat the Empire

I will concede however that if Canada was North of China, as opposed to the US, it would be an entirely different animal.

That's why it's a joke. It's more a comment on the general Canadian demeanour than anything else.

One of the most common jokes about the Canadian flag was that it was designed by stoned draft-dodgers who fled to Canada during the Vietnam War, and that they made it a not-so-subtle homage to their favorite plant.

Well there are anti-Canadian jokes and there are Anti-American jokes. Most of the time it is just for fun but there are a few that are not....

I was not high when I posted that. I swear.

I pick on Canada because its fun. However, I don't pick on our northern neighbors NEAR as much as I do France. I actually hate the french.

[FaxModem1]

Actually, in Texas, we don't really think about ya'll much at all. Except to thank ya for hockey.

That, and we joke that Canada will just invade a country just because no one would expect Canada to do such a thing.

[Wicked Pilot]

Nobody expects the Canadian Inquisition!

The only people I pick on more then the french are the french Canadians, I mean come on, it's bad enough your Canadian, do you really need the ad the french part to it.

[paladin]

I've never met anyone who disliked Canada. Sure, we all make jokes about Canadians on occasion, but don't Canadians make similar jokes about the US?

Making jokes about Americans i don`t know,but we do have retards too like the two bitches in Jean Chretien`s team,one said Bush is a moron the other said she hates all Americans and addind those bastards,the worse part of this is dingbat Cretin did nothing.

Can we trade our moron for your dingbat?

[Drooling Iguana]

It's because we get Canada's useless quarters in our change. :P

Bah. Our canadian quarters are much better than those goddam copper sandwiches you guys use.

Lord Stanley's Cup must be honoured and venerated, and Canada must be praised for its role as the leading North American producer of large breasted attractive blondes per capita.

On the other hand....

FUCK QUEBEC. Except for Montcalm, but only because he's a collaborator...

Addendum:

In my former job as a bank teller, it was standard procedure to throw away Canadian Currency with the trash. I however, preserved a large share of Beaver nickels, going so far as to impose a quasi religious status upon them not unlike the sacred cows of the hindu. Beaver nickels bring luck and prosperity.

SEND ME YOUR BEAVER NICKELS

How they're made, and what they're made from is pretty insignificant, compared to the fact that we can't use them for anything. There are only two things we can do with them. 1. Try to sneak them in when you’re paying for something at a gas station or a store. Or do what I do and throw them in the river, street, or somewhere just to get them out of circulation.

SEND ME YOUR BEAVER NICKELS
