@ Badger You called for BC? Was that nuances or nuisances?

Urban legend or not this post cracked me up! Laughing

Where I used to hail from BC stood for Back of Cloyne. Honest! You can look it up....

Why are you lot all picking on, and making snidey pseudo racist comments about a great country like Canada?

Let's be honest, there are not many countries that tolerate the French outside their own country (and regarding Canada that's down to the British sense of 'fair play') so what I propose is that PF be granted the honour of 'Freedom of Ottawa' so he can make a fresh start in life.

I will second that title

This thread reminds me of the great "...From Canada/I hate Canada" section from the long dead Computer Gaming World magazine.

I agree with Esox Lucius, this thread was not meant for picking on Canadians, only to show what a great people they are.

Mods, isn't it time for a new custom tag for PF?

From The Doubter's Companion by Canadian author John Ralston Saul:

Quote:

Canada

1. So complicated that nobody knows how it works, which causes Canadian social scientists to talk about it all the time, which causes foreigners to say it's boring because nothing ever happens.

2. The most decentralized country in existence, which causes Canadians to complain constantly about the power of the central government.

3. Administered under the third oldest constitution in the world, which causes Canadians to insist that it has never worked and must be changed.

4. The only major country in which the two leading western cultures have managed to live peacefully together for several centuries, causing Canadians to insist that they cannot live together.

5. Burdened by the laziest élite of any developed nation; people who have made their fortunes selling off the country's resources and by working for more energetic foreigners. They are most comfortable on their knees, admiring those from larger countries who have purchased them.

6. A country where 95 per cent of the land is north of the major cities, which causes its urban inhabitants to treat their hinterland as an embarrassing and backward region, while pretending that they themselves are situated hundreds of miles to the south, somewhere between New York and Florida.

Disclosure: both sides of my family came through Canada. Dad's folks came from Quebec and Mom is from Saskatchewan.

We're limited by the number of characters we can use.

"Senile, drooling cock-wallet who is hated by all" won't fit.

I was thinking "Good advert for euthanasia" has a catchy ring to it though.

@Esox lucius

As a member of the Capon Society pictures like that rarely affect (Or is it effect? That word has always had me vexed.) me anymore.
