Most Canadians have no basic understanding of American culture

So wrong..we have more long arms per capita then the USA...little known fact...only handguns are hard to get in Canada and must be stored with a lock....

we have a culture of kill other people and take their shit , if they don't like it we kill them so more. canada is like a codependent enabler society , as long they give us what we want, we will never ever beat them like a rented corvette.
they are fucking delusional , you have resources you are on the menu , maybe not now , someday though you are gonna get served.

americans are the best reason for every canadian household to have a full set of battle rattle including anti tank anti aircraft missiles , they don't. they are fucking stupid , eh

Not true, well... so thats 2/3... and you wonder why some of them want to split, can you blame them? If they were to, i would move there, why? At least they're trying to go forward, trying to make something better? The rest of Canada sure love its status quo, and the Queen. God forbid we were to actually fix some of our ever growing problems.

I didn't say I didn't like them...I said, generally, they're not all that liked. And no, I don't wonder why they want to split. Did I say that somewhere?

no one understands american culture..unless you're american.

you're a breed unto yoursleves.

fixed.

stop grouping your own people asshole.

I don't know if it applies to everyone, but every Canadian I've ever met, without exception, fell into two groups: Catholic Socialists, Securalar/Materialist Socialists.

However, as far as having a 'basic understanding' of American culture, I suppose that all depends on which America you're talking about. If you're talking about New England, first of all, you have to understand that most of the rest of America doesn't even consider New England to be a part of America. I mean, we know it intellectually, but not practically or culturally.

What people have to understand is this one thing--the U.S. never has gotten over the civil war. That war made a permenant division between two fundamentally different sorts of mind sets. It wasn't about slavery either. It divided those who believe in states' right and the original idea of the Republic and union of several, sovereign states and those who, for all practical purposes, see the United States not as being various states at all, but a Socialist Federation.

There are two waring ideologies in the U.S. right now--collectivism and individualism. Libertarians and some Republicans represent individualism and constitutionism. All democrats represent social-democracy and communism. It's as simple as that. Most Canadians have a fundamentally communist world-view and political posture.

The United States is basically a republic comprised of 50 separate republics. The U.S. is built on a fractal model. That's what gives it it's strength. The only way to establish socialism in the U.S. is to basically destroy it's states with ferderalist/socialist governmental entities. All just entities are unconstitutional. The FED is unconstitutional as is the IRS. Any time you hear anything in the U.S. as being the 'Federal' XYZ, it is a fundamental violation the intent of the Constituion and a direct attack on state independance.

It is true that many Canadians honestly have no concept of the mentality and world-view of most Americans (yes, most Americans). Neither does Europe or Asia. They simply cannot fathom the concept of personal independance. These nations all share one similarly collectivist view of society. And that is everything and anything America faught to liberate itself from durin the war of Independance. Taxation without representation was the clarion cry. The idea was that someone in England couldn't possibly be able to represent the peoples of the several colonies. This idea is as true today in a context of socialist redistributionism as it was in 1776.

Canada is a strategic target of China. China plans to colonize Canada and from there slowly take over the United States. Think I'm kidding? Think again. China sees Canada as an easy target. Probably because it is an easy target.

Not bad...I'm not sure I agree with your first sentence, but from that point on.....not bad.

Culture?

And in more than a few cases, Americans don't understand American culture. It's like a paradox:

American culture supports freedom for all...through oppressive policies.

American culture supports peace...through war.

American culture supports independence...through a nanny state.

It's enough to make anyone's head spin.

Not to mention the fact that we are currently the world's second largest supplier of oil in the world and it is my guess that in 25 years we will pass Saudi Arabia as the largest as demand for oil goes up and supply in the Middle East goes down. Canada has not come close to exhausting our oil supply after Alberta has been exhausted there is more oil in Saskatchewan mixed with clay, messy to extract but I think the world's demand for oil will warrant the work. Then there's even more oil in the north under frozen tundra just waiting for the poles to move sufficiently for work crews to get started up there. So Canada is more than just an easy target, it is a strategic one economically.

I do appreciate the rest of your post too regarding American culture. It seems that most Americans see Canada as what it is in Ontario & Quebec, granted that is half the population. But I do think there are a lot of Canadians who identify with the American feelings about independence than the European system of socialism, especially in Western Canada.

most canadians are 80 % whining smug with 20 % shit on top of it

I can see why so many Americans hate Canadians. According to the people you elect, the stupid laws you have and the way you carry on, you obviously love commies, and commie countries.

We are not commies ( Although it may appear like that from the outside.)

Once a conversation becomes a bit deeper, complex, abstract, does 'not' have anything to do with the United States of America, the conversation usually goes one of three ways... 1) basically comes to a complete halt 2) American(s) becomes a bit annoyed, or tense, sometimes even taking an aggressive tone, a sense that 'I'm American and really don't have to be talking about this, I could care less really' 3) Conversation is somehow brought back to an America-centric viewpoint. I travel into the USA quite a bit, play golf, and when you spend four+ hours with a person or foursome, its a good way to get an understanding of the general mentality of a nation - it's the same in other countries I travel to - Americans are not stupid, not by any means...

Ignorant?


Yes.

Speak for yourself, not an entire country you Fucktard.

The people are very similar to us, the government is tyrannical. Most of us aren't retarded.

LOLOL, really quite good.

I should state for the record that I don't hate Canadians, brits or aussies, but I like conservative Americans more.

Canadians, Brits, and Aussies make a habit of belittling, abusing and insulting the very people I hold dear and embracing the very people who are destroying my country. Give me one reason to like a "de facto enemy"?

There's a reason we don't learn anything about Canada in school because it's simply not important enough and secondly we don't really care what your country is all about anyway. Americans realize that Canada has nothing to offer America; well except near constant criticism of all we do. Canadians are always so vocal spouting off about affairs in America though. In reality if America wasn't here to protect your country you'd all probably be speaking Chinese by now. Canadians love to run their mouths though, seriously it must be your national past time. Although go ahead and enjoy doing so cause you know America still has your back. We probably already have drones flying over your houses each day and we already monitor everything else you guys do on the phone and internet. Though strangely I don't hear any Canadians bitching about that. Well that's probably because Canada recognizes it's Americas bitch first and foremost. And you may be lonely now but don't worry too much when America gets horny you can bet we'll be up to rape your resources under the guise of 'freedom for Canadians and regime change'.

WOW! First off, OP you couldn't be more wrong. Buddy, I don't know where you come off speaking for all Canadians but thanks for your inaccurate, ignorant observation; or lack there of.

Canada is hugely diverse and every region is completely different in every way. Furthermore, every individual Canadian is completely different and opinions vary.

As with Canada, American culture is defined by its regions. Each with their own personalities, customs, character, traditions, cuisine, accents, local dialects, etc. The general stereotypical way Canadian's view Americans is completely irrelevant to culture.

Generally, the stereotypical view Canadians are known to have of Americans is subject to humor and not always a legitimate opinion. The common stereotype is that Americans are highly ignorant to the world around them, lesser educated and to put it bluntly, stupid. The former being true to an extent, Americans generally seem to have the same opinion of Canadians.

You just can't help yourself can you?

He's a Canadian after all isn't he? Lol did you really expect any different.

Agreed!

hard to envy anywhere that robs from the poor to give to the rich

The title made me laugh, well the last two words did

A nation that creates unjust wars, economic fraud, and commits war crimes consistantly lacks any real culture.

America has not protected Canada from anything but the chaos they create. Most nations stay within their borders and our real threat is ignorant Americans starting another unjust war.
