Are Americans Jealous of Canadians???

any questions left...?

no. It's cold in canada. It's cold where I live too, but it's really cold in canada. I want my 90's and humidity in the summer, damn it.

coming from an american, all americans are idiots

WE are jealous that you have weather suitable for outdoor activities like skiing or hockey most of the year. Also we are jealous of your powerful military forces.

ahh...i see...so if you have a big military force as a country it gives you the right to be an ass to every other country?...thank you for clearing that up...

this.

Please -- a high percentage of Canadians live in Southern Ontario, an area that extends as far south as California with hot summers and temperate winters.

yeah, thats it. you nailed that one down.

Unfortunately, Canada, that's about the truth.

Hey I love Canadians....in fact I wish I could live up there.......

We aren't all asses....just most of us..lol


You guys r just too fun to rip on i guess.

I have always enjoyed my Canadian friends and when i trained with them in the military they were great.

No.

We are angry about Celine Dion.

Heehehe

Here we go again

truth

Those idiots believe we actually say "aboot"

I'm an American who moved to Nova Scotia 8 years ago, and I think Canada rocks.

The US is different, not bad, just different. I think Americans are friendlier, but Canadians are more polite, if that makes any sense. Americans will tell you everything about themselves the first time you meet them, while Canadians are very reserved, and you don't really get to know them for a long time. There is definitely a style difference.

I don't think it's Canada bashing as much as a pose. Honestly, if push came to shove, Americans would help Canadians in a heartbeat.

You gotta take what most Americans say with a grain of salt. For example, I grew up hearing Americans in my neighborhood bashing hispanics and blacks and asians in conversation, and back then I thought they were really racist.

Then when I got older, I realized some of those same people were now married to hispanics, asians or blacks, or had adopted kids from those ethnicities. The American workplace is filled with people of all races, and I dare say there's more acceptance of "visible minorities" in the US than in Canada.

Same with our elections...really, given what most people think of Americans, would anyone have thought 8 years ago that Americans would have elected as President a black man with a muslim last name, born to an unwed mother no less?

So in other words, I think most Americans are mostly bark and grandstanding. If they make a joke about Canada, they do the same about Texas or Mississippi, but I don't think they really mean it.

I don't think there's any doubt in most people's minds that Canada is like our brother. I was living in Dallas before I came back, and I only heard people say nice things about Canada. When I said I was headed up, they seemed definitely intrigued and even jealous of the fact I was headed somewhere without 100 degree weather, and where people were nice.

Just one POV.

When Candadian is not Canadian

Uh, Wut? Do you pay any attention to the worlds temperatures ? Or when you see that it is 38 degrees, you dont understand that it is HOT AS FUCK!

So are we. But you gave us Beyonce Britney and Whitney!

Dude...cause some of you do. Not everyone in America says Ya'll.



Canada Rocks!

Maybe it's the part of Canada, but I grew up in northern MN where we came in contact with tons of Canadians...they did say aboot...(but so did we...lol)

maybe this is why (turn speakers up)

HELL YES!! you have Red Green living there. i can not speak for all with authority, but i see you all as our little sister. " Erm, go away hon, no time here, gotta do nuke-ball with my buds". But if anyone tried to take (your still as present virginity), we (your brothers), would be on them like napalm.

maybe this is why (turn speakers way up)

"no. It's cold in canada. It's cold where I live too, but it's really cold in canada. I want my 90's and humidity in the summer, damn it."

Actually, this is a misconception.

We moved to Canada from Danbury CT, and I can tell you that the weather in NS is almost identical to Danbury CT, for 10+ months out of the year.

In fact, it is actually far colder in upstate New York and in Chicago, than in Nova Scotia. I hear BC is even warmer

If you're an American from the South, like South Carolina or Florida, then yes, Canada is definitely colder

But if you're from Pennsylvania up to Maine, I bet your winters are no warmer than mine, and my summers are definitely better and less humid than yours.

Last year, I spent the winter in Dallas TX, and I was shocked that on quite a few days, it was 20 in Dallas, when it was only 36 in Middleton NS. Ugh.

Turns out Dallas has weather that swings from 105 in the summer to 20 in the winter, while my town goes from 30s in the winter to 86 in the summer. I'll take my town in Canada, ty

this is a research center, op. the flags have been put there to see who gets along with who.

I've got to agree with that.


I understand the politeness too. It's the English/Scandinavian thing.....I'm used to it.

Im not sure the flags were necessary in order to 'see'.
