Stupid Canadians.
and I'm canadian
Seriously this insecure nationalism we Canadian project while abroad is pathetic.
And those stupid Canadian flags we pin on our backpacks needs to end now!
Yeah it's fun to bash on the Americans from time to time (and deservedly so in many instances), but let's face it, we will always be their little biatches.
Until we get develope several hundred nukes and divert more of our international trade away from the States, we'll always feel every toss and turn while sleeping besides the enormous elephant. |

| Any country (and don't think I am limiting this to the Canadians, cause some Americans on here are just as bad as the Canadians they say they hate when it comes to baseless generalizations) that puts itself up on a pedestal by stepping on another sucks. Do it on your own merits or it doesn't mean anything. |

You can often tell who is a Canadian by who is bashing America. Many Canadians love to bash America. Bashing America is part of the mainstream culture in Canada. So many Canadians get brainwashed by the mainstream anti-American culture of Canada and so become full-time America bashers. It's the truth.
If you ever spend much time with Canadians, particularly if you have gone up and lived among them in their country, you will discover a people that have an identity crisis. They are wantabee Brits and will praise England ("London is the greatest city in the world," etc.). After all, they still have the Queen of England as their head-of-state (and whom still has legal power). One would think that the head-of-state of Canada would at least be a Canadian. And they are haters of America and want everyone to know that they are not American. In their attempt to prove that they are not American they will bash America. But in reality Canadians are so much more similiar to Americans then they are to Brits.
It is this identity crisis of being a wantabee Brit and wanting to prove that they are not American that is the Canadian national character. The Canadian mainstream culture of being anti-America is quite sad. It really is. You might find a Vietnamese guy whose brother got killed by the American military during the Vietnam War, and that guy will say: "I have no hatred toward the US or the American people." And yet you will find Canadians who never suffered a single harm from America and yet who will have such venom of hatred toward America that it boggles the mind as to why this Canadian hates America so much. I speak the truth.

I was on my way home from a restaurant in a cab with two American friends. My two friends got out of the car and then the taxi driver continued to my house. On the way he asked me if I was also American. I told him that I was Canadian and he held out his hand to shake and said "I don't really like Americans, but Canadians good."

That's funny. When I tell Koreans I'm American, they usually act impressed. Quite a few of the other Anglos here have told me how annoying and boring many Canadians can be. |

| Hey guys. I'm currently writing a book on my first year and a half here in Korea, and I'm writing a chapter on being Canadian in Korea. Id like to here how things are for you other Canadians, but not only what it's like for you as a Canadian, but also as a White Canadian, Black Canadian, Japanese Canadian, etc. Do you feel that you are treated differently? Is it in a good way, or a bad way? I have my experiences of course, but I'll wait a little bit before sharing. So, would you mind helping me out? I'd really appreciate it! Have a great day! |
I highly doubt that your observations are going to be interesting or insightful after only spending 1.5 years in Korea. |
