Molson Canadian - The unwritten code of Canada

I have done everyone of these things, guilty as charged.
I'm Canadian
so
I know that being on the EI Ski team means you spent a year skiing while unemployed
I know that buying anything less than a 2 - 4 is for wimps
I know that girls from Quebec are dynamite in the sack
I know what a puck slvt is

I've done that too. I've lost several girl friends because the football was more important.
My country's stereo type:
Whites are angels, wogs are criminals
car accident: wog's fault
Spaghetti heads and greeks are grocery shop owners
Chinaman runs chinese restuarant
Taxi drivers are Viet Congs and Curry Munchers and they don't know where they are going.
Anybody who is alone is a poofter.
(among women) any girl you don't like is a desperate.
(among men) any guy you don't like is a poofter.

I'm from west coast Canada and all our stereotypes are true, true, true.
1) Snide yuppies--check.
2) Wasted hippies who hug constantly and talk a lot about good energy, maaaaaaan, while hating the hell out of most of humanity--check.
3) Homeless wastrel meth-heads from the rest of Canada who come for the warmer weather--check.
4) Small town redneck jerks who would've been Hitler Youth, Cultural Revolutionaries, or Mongol Horde-members, but that they were born in western Canada, and so are just redneck jerks--check.
5) Shrill harpy PC-types who think recycling and a fuel efficient vehicle redeems them from the sins of mankind--check.
6) Cool, mellow people who do their own thing, whatever that may be, and stay out of the cities--definitely check.
7) Ancient refugees from Britain who are mortified by the superabundance of Indians, Natives, Chinamen, and Heathens--check.
Relic from 'the Beachcombers'--yeah, check, I totally knew like a hundred people just like that dude.
9) RCMP with perfect cop mustaches--so true.
10) Dope-exporting aging rocker Chachi dudes who are either H.A. or wish they were--checkity check!
11) Alienated first generation Asian-Canadian gangster steroid monkeys--cheeeeck.
12) Exchange students who only hang out with people of their own nationality--check, check, a thousand times check.
13) Angry underemployed primary industry workers who couldn't adapt--check.
Geez, I get crusty when I'm homesick.
I guess not all of those above categories are stereotypes, yet, but I gotta start somewhere.
If you don't believe me, come to the Vancouver Olympics and see! |

A bit slow, maybe yes, but at least they can spell (in two languages). There are 7 vowels in the Welsh alphabet, so maybe it's the English that are phobic? |

Its a light hearted stereotype, dont take it to heart, i dont mean ANY of it, especially the bit that they're slow. I actually love the Welsh accent. |

I'm English.
The Irish are drunken loudmouths who can't even change a fuse.
The Scotts are sinewy, ginger and moody and don't seem to like us.
The welsh are very warm people (south) or very unfriendly people (North.)
Scousers are cunning, coniving, divvy twats.
So are Mancs.
Londoner's are a bunch of mouthy wide boys or stuck up bankers.
The Itais are too damned loud and their country is kept alive buy showing off its Grandmother's corpse, they're show off's and can't organise a piss up in a brewers. The women are hot though and the men act like ponces.
The French are stuck up, the men are arrogant ponces , the women hot, but maybe hairy in places you wouldn't expect. Nice food and wine though.
Northerners don't get any sun most of the year and they drink deisel and eat coal. That's just the women. It's grim up North. (In fact it's quite nice.)
Pakistanis and Indians are hard workers but they don't really like us and once they've saved up enough money they'll eave and go home. They say nasty things about you in their language when you walk into their corner shop.
The author of this post doesn't actually promote or believe all of the above. |

Disclaimer: I'm not necessarily agreeing with the things I'm reporting.
Albertans think:
1. The rest of the country leeches off their oil wealth (this one is true).
2. Edmontonians are liberal pinkos.
3. Calgarians are businessmen and rednecks who lack culture.
4. Newfies aren't terribly bright but are fun to party with.
5. BC people are exactly as the earlier poster described them, and all look down on us.
6. Ontario people think they're the only province in the country, and assume all Canadians say 'eh' and worship the Tragically Hip.
7. Quebec? You don't want to know.
8. Americans are poorly educated, Bible-thumping gun nuts. (Whereas we are better-educated Bible-thumping gun nuts, although some of the guns and all of the Bible colleges are regulated.)
9. Saskatchewan might be a better province when it gets roads and electricity.
10. Manitoba is the traitor province of the prairies. Some of you supported Tr*deau in the 70s. It's a stain that will never be erased! |

How about the lazy Canadians on Welfare who take a taxi to the beer store
when they get their" Cheque"
I wonder if this species still exists or was it crushed with Welfare reform. |

They still exist, of course. I've seen them. Although they might get direct deposit now! |

People from the east coast talk fast and are angry.
People from the south talk slow and love trucks and Jesus.
Californians surf.
Texans like executing people and are afraid of being "messed" with.
People from the great plains think they are from the Midwest.
Hawaii is paradise.
Midwesterners are wholesome, honest, and hardworking which somehow is driven by the fact that we eat a lot of corn. |

So there's a welfare look. What is it ?
Brown fake leather overcoat with belt fastened.
Blank stair waiting for the next cheque while inspecting the pavement for buttends.
How do the third or fourth generation recipients differ from the fresh out of University artsy fartsy types. |
