I know more cool, calm, intelligent Canadian people than I do from anywhere else in the world.
And on a bonus note, I know way too many hot girls that live in Canada too.. My only bitch is that it's so far away from me so I cant go visit any of the girls I know

OK, here's the thing, Canada isn't all cold and snowy all the time!!! I live in a city more south than quite a bit of US. It snows for like 2 maybe 3 months here. And, yes Quebec does smell bad, but we try to ignore them.
Now I am not as "extreme" as some Canadians *cough, Animal*, but I can't stand ignorance. I wouldn't assume that all Americans carry a gat and will mug you at the first chance you get, so don't give into the stereotypes of Canadians.
We are just like the US, but have a Prime Minister and are not the leading military power in the world.
In closing, I am Cyrino and I AM CANADIAN!

thanks to adcritic i got to see it they never really play it in the US.. The only stereotype at least as an americian have about canadians is that the east coast canadians pronouces their u's a little different and West coasts canadians are much cooler.

Just kidding. :|> Being Canadian and all, I actually think Canada is pretty k3wl. We've got hockey, and good beer, and nice mountains, and lots of good stuff.
And yeah, the "Aboot" stereotype- That's easterners. Maritimers (east coasters) say "aboot" and "oot" a lot. Ontarians occassionally say it too. But out here in the west, it's one hundred percent "ABOUT" baby.
And while on the topic of mispronunciation, it's pronounced "ROOF", not "RUFF" goddamit! And it's "VEHICLE", not "VEE HICKLE"!!
Because I am Firefox... and I - AM - CANADIAN!!!
Okay... I'm getting off the soapbox now...
-Firefox
Gotta agree with firefox, we've got great beer, great wildlife, great hockey. The big thing I really like is that we've got public health care (whoohoo! no bills to pay from doctors!), violence (ie. gunshot wounds, etc) isn't a serious problem, and when we travel to other countries, we're not afraid of sewing our country's flag on our backpacks. In fact, people are usually nicer to us knowing that we are Canadian.
We're not a social "melting-pot" - no one is expected to conform to one set culture - our "culture" is based around the strong ethnic diversity present within our society and is what makes this such a great place to be.

Get the French out! I'm equally sick of the francais on my cereal. If Quebec really wants all this French shit, let them have it, but keep it in your own province, don't make us suffer cause you're too lazy to learn a more popular language.

i've got lots of friends in quebec, and they're great, and most of them don't want to seperate.
the way i figure it, if we have to have french on our signs, they should have to have english on theirs. i'm all for equality. it's all or nothing baby!

Those french canadians just don't have any idea what it is they want to make them happy.

I got friends who have problems with Canadians and everytime I ask them what the deal is its always the same reply...
We just don't
like that makes any sense.
Anyway I like Canada...I think it's pretty cool actually...I should move there some day.

One beef I do have is all the french text on all our FREAKING food...I've been waking up every morning pouring au lait on my le cheerios and I'm sick of it...down with le fracais...no one in the west speaks french so keep that shit in the east...
Dennis Leary said it best:
I know why the French are so pissed off...they gave us the croissant...and we turned in into...the croisandwhich
anyway...I'm out
as for the entire image south park created of canada and how some people are just irked by canada, i don't understand why. maybe they're jealous or are scared to know anything beyond their own country?

I love America but I have no problem with Canada (ok, maby a small problem) and i've never even been to Austalia but I've been told nice things about them, people say its sorta like a big Florida beach, but less people.

And yeah, I'd say it almost made more fun of Americans than Canadians, really. The sad thing is that a lot of the stuff they were making fun of is so true. I mean, these days, it's nearly impossible to find anyone who is willing to accept their problems and mistakes as their own, instead of finding a scapegoat.
