Canadians: What's the deal with them?

I also try to take into account that many of the Canadians (like the Americans) down here are timeshare douche bags. Not because they sell timeshares but because they are douche bags.
On my second ship I had a guy in my division who was also on my first ship. He was from New-Found-Land as he used to say. He was a great big oaf and very loveable. A train wreck as a sailor but a good guy nonetheless.

I met a very nice couple yesterday from BC. I was gonna invite them back for some international wife swapping. Too bad my wife wouldn't go for it.
They were pretty stoked that the Canadian dollars is apparently worth more than the Greenback. First time in my life time.
Looking back on it, I probably bragged to some Scots when our dollar was almost even with the GBP.

One big difference is that we don't go around and invade other countries, start wars, and generally try and police the world. We leave that up to you guys. :)

Well, I couldn't have illustrated what I was talking about any better than our friendly BARF Canadian does right here.
Even if it was in jest it is a veiled insult, i would bet.
 
Just did a little ride from Philly to New Bruswick this fall to visit a sailing buddy that lives up there.

He, his family & his buds could NOT have been any nicer or more hospitable to me. I enjoyed the various, subtle differences in the cultures - NB is VERY rural and I grew up in rural PA, so the talk of hunting & fishing & the love of the outdoors was common to us, and we talked about the many contrasts in our countries. They were honestly concerned about the upcoming election ( I assured them The President would be re-elected, for sure) - funny, we really don't gave a hoot aboot who's In Charge up there. It was good fun - alcohol was surprisingly expensive (taxed heavily) and the border at Maine was a bigger deal than I would have thought, but I'll visit again - it was quite nice.

Finally, what would this thread be without a chorus or two of: Blame Canada !

Canuks are good peeps. I have some family from Nova Scotia. I grew up on the East Coast, Massachusetts, and as a kid I spent 2 weeks every summer up there with my Canadian second cousins.

It is very pretty up there, near the coast, tons of nature. Not to much work, my family up there was very down to earth. Kinda like the show "Trailer Park Boys" Not snobby at all.

My cousin is now in the Canadian Navy. He loves it. He's been able to travel to South America and Hawaii. They stopped here in S.F. and had a party on the ship. The ship had a bar on it. They had a bartender making mixed drinks, and a soda machine that sold beers for a Looney. Good times:party
 
Glad to hear the Canadian Navy hasn't changed like ours has.
Of course they are the Barney Fife of navies. One bullet. In the pocket.
Just like the Mexican Navy, they know the real sea power is just a call away.
 
I read somewhere that the BC Ferry system has more boats than the Canadian Navy. :p

It's not an insult. It's the truth. When was the last time Canada invaded a country for its` oil? Even your own countryman wish that America would concentrate on its` own people and problems. To be fair, when the Americans` do not get involved in a heavy situation, America is critised. When you do get involved in a heavy situation, you are lambasted and looked upon as the bad guy.:|
 
Every Canadian I've met has been cool as hell. One of my best buds is Canadian and he is the shit. His brother is a UFC fighter and he saved a couple from a gang of ruffians single-handedly. I'd love to go up to Calgary and hang with his family.

Sorry you're stuck with all the chumps.

Yeah I was just thinking about how my cuz made friends with just about everyone he met when he was here, including every homeless person he came across. I had to drag him away from them because he would get into deep conversation with them.:laughing
 
As far as my experience goes the country full of the most ignorant insecure And cowardly people is the good ol' U S of A
 
Funny thread topic to be started by an American that decided he no longer wanted to live in the US. Don't like Canada don't like the US. After you start dumping on Mexico that's it for North America, next stop where? I guess France is out also. Maybe put your name in the hat for a Martian mission.
