Yeah My country Canada has many faults, but compared to the American government that commits atrocities everyday which are obvious we are like heaven on Earth LOL! And to ignore the slaughter the American government does is like saying the holocaust in WW2 never happened it's just common knowledge. Now that said I love the American people it's just that Bush, Rumsfeld and Rice need to get a road side bomb up the arss! And I know most of you intelligent Americans hate Bush as much as ooooh 99% of the world does.
Canadians are different from our American Friends, I say we are mixed European/American and bunch of other cultures lol. We are more laid back (the legal dope will do that to ya lol) We dress differently and act differently and our sense of humor is different. We let people live the way they want and do what they want no matter who they are. |
yes great but why are canadians always moaning about something  |

My very first experience with Canada scared the **** out of me -- I was young and everyone on the highway was driving the speed limit, or at least it seemed to me. My father was passing hundreds of cars following the law -- for a USer, I'd never seen that before.
Now that I've gotten to know more about Canada and Canadians, I'd say they seem like Californians (except LA) with their open minds and like Europeans in that they seemingly know that life isn't about cash alone.
However, I can only visit C during the peak of summer; otherwise it's simply too cold.
Best,

We must moan or no one would notice us under all that snow.
Canada is a great place. I left her behind because she is too self-absorbed with herself. The land I'll always have a great connection too, from the sugar bush in Quebec, to Qu'Appele Valley (What do we call it Valley) cut into the great plains, to grey peaks overlooking Calgary, to a lush carpet of forrest/marijuana plantation covering BC. The people? Well, they should appreciate the land a little more and care a little less about career and snow shovelling.
all in good fun  |
