It's okay to make alcoholic drinks out of mushed up fish, tomatoes and celery. Laughing

(actually it's nice once you try it, but took me a while to build up the courage.)

The whole a dog can sense a dogeater. I've met people who actually believe that a dog knows if you've eaten his kind. The belief is that when confronted by a dogeater the dog will get nasty and start growling.

I am a dogeater and have never confronted an angry dog who had a special sence. I have even eaten dog in the presence of a pet dog.

This belief is popular with hippy treehuggers.

18. They believe that people will automatically like them because they're Canadian.

19. They believe that sitting on the fence is a noble and credible position to take in every single argument.

20. They think that blandness equates to likability.

21. They probably believe that they're not the most sexless and dispassionate people on earth. (Yes, even more so than Germans.)

1) Everything needs cheese.

2) Americans are fat, but Canadians aren't.

3) Every American thinks every Canadian lives in an igloo and owns a pet beaver.

4) They burned down the White House.

5) Their assistance in the Korean War was equal to America's.

Here's a beer ad from 2002 that became a national anthem of sorts.

http://www.coolcanuckaward.ca/joe_canadian.htm
"Hey, I'm not a lumberjack, or a fur trader....
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 landmass!
The first nation of hockey!
and the best part of North America

My name is Joe!!
And I am Canadian!!!"

I prefer this version:

"I am not a hacker or terrorist

I do not like C�line Dion or Shania Twain but I am glad they are getting rich.

I do know Richy and Sally from Canada, but they aren't nice as you think.

I am ruled by a rich white Prime Minister not a rich white President.

I don't know French but I can converse fluently in American...

...and I pronounce it A BOOT not a big shoe.

I can proudly sew my flag on my backpack, because even though no one realizes that we are just as guilty as everyone else for the fate of the 3rd world, everyone blames America.

When I am at home I realize I have better not protest deforestation or sexist dictators without risking a face full of pepper spray and a criminal record.

I believe in peacekeeping, even if it means killing Somali teenagers for fun

I believe in turning back boatloads of Chinese immigrants, a failing health care system, and late night cable porn disguised as art, and that the beaver is a truly proud and a beautiful part of the female body.

I believe the French should whine about anything, and the English should apologize.

...And that is pronounced zed not zee: ZED! That is how the queen told us how to pronounce it.

Canada is the second largest land mass in the world,

the second nation in hockey,

and the best part of the northern 3rd of America!

MY NAME IS JOE,

AND UNTIL WE ARE ANNEXED BY THE STATES,

I AM CANADIAN!!!

The Quebec version is also pretty good:

17. (or whatever number it is). We provide power to the whole east coast of America. In fact, if we stopped providing that power, NYC would be in a state of 24/7 blackout.

Oh wait...that's true.

18. We think oil is not a good reason to go to war.

Oh wait...true again.

19. We think that many people on Dave ESL Cafe have the real inferiority complex about their own countries, and post an Anti-Canadian thread almost daily.

Damn.....3 out of 3!!

20. Canadians don't necessarily make the best teachers. But Koreans think we do. So it's easiest to get the best jobs here. That's not the fault of any country, but Korea's mentality. US accent without US politics. But then again, why shouldn't we take advantage of a good opportunity?
