-----Anything I write will start with 5 dashes. I will comment on both the original and the replies.
1. We're bigger
-----Canada is the second largest country in the world. It is 3.9 million square miles. Russia is the largest with 6.6 million square miles.
well then. don dat make u special. Most of the land is inhospitable.
-----I won’t even try to guess what you meant by that. Possibly uninhabited? If that’s the case, it’s not true.
2. We don't have major racism problems, but are still the most multicultural nation on earth
-----America is very multicultural, too. After all, without immigrants, the country wouldn’t exist.
Reality check How was america formed? ppl came here to be free not cuz france and england are running out of room
-----I think someone should publish a book: “Spellcheck for Dummies”.
3. We're known worldwide to be peacekeepers, not warmakers
-----I’m sure many Americans would prefer peace.
no yall r known worldwide as sissys yall cant fight for anything and when asked to ally yall run away
-----This is incorrect on many levels. First of all, ‘yall’ is not a word. How difficult is it to type ‘you all’? Or, for that matter, ‘are’? Secondly, Canada does have a well-trained army. They fought in both World War I and II.
4. We don't all live squished together in teeny little houses in cities where you can't even see the sky because of all the smog
-----I have lived in New York my entire life, and I have yet to see the smog blocking our view of the sky. Houses come in all shapes and sizes. Some are ‘squished together’, (perhaps you mean apartments? Or townhouses?) while others have spacious lawns. Not everyone lives in cities. Many people commute to cities from the suburbs.
that may be true ive never been to canada so ive no clue of the housing arrangements but i know in america its only like that in the projects of NYC
-----Read above.
5. We know some things about the U.S., whereas they know nothing about us (ever seen the show "talking to Americans?")
-----Generally, Canada does seem to know more about America than we know about them. There are reasons for this, and no, they do not rely on American schooling.
well that maybe half true. yall may know sum things about our country but most ppl out of elementary definantly know sumthing about canada. and plus america is more popular and ppl knmokw more about us.
-----Spellcheck can work wonders, you know.
6. Even our big cities are clean
-----Not all of our cities are dirty. Boston is known for being clean. Parts of New York are filthy, while other parts are clean (believe it or not) Honestly, those are the only two major cities I have ever been to, but I have heard that several cities in Texas are very clean, too.
i cannot argue that americas big cities are dirty and have pollution but i dont know about canada
-----See above.
7. Here you can walk down the street and say hi to perfect strangers without getting arrested and thrown into an asylum
-----Depending on where you are, you can do that here also. If you want to say hi to people you don’t know, the safest place to do that is the suburbs. Many people there actually pretend to know you when you say hi to avoid embarrassment. (It’s quite entertaining.) However, I don’t recommend talking to strangers in cities. (Unless, of course, you want to be arrested for assault…)
i cannot argue that either ppl think ur hittin on em when u say hi its freaky
-----I will never again doubt the power of spellcheck.
8. We don't expect people to like us or respect us, but they do. The U.S. seems to have gotten that backwards
-----Frankly, we don’t expect respect either.
well ur half right we dont expect ppl to like us or respect us and they dont unless ur the president or sum equivalent figure of limitless power
-----Is that supposed to be English?
9. The beaver is a truly proud and noble animal
-----Honestly, I am not from Canada, so the beaver has no significant meaning to me. However, it’s wonderful that you take pride in a national symbol.
with large teeth and an extremely flat tail. Bald eagles are noble and proud too. Beavers fall into the class with termites, eating wood all day and causing destruction. Eagles help keep away the procreating rodents which a beaver is mind you
-----Yes, beavers have large teeth and a flat tail. Is there anything wrong with that? Beavers are nature’s great builders and architects.
10. Canadian beer doesn't taste like polluted water
-----Personally, I despise any form of drinking.
Canadian beer is good. Guiness is best. although im not old enuf to officially drink i agree that northern states beer is disgusting yeasty water but go to the south and umm umm good
-----You don’t seem to have the intelligence of a 21-year old. Therefore, how would you know what kind of beer is best?
11. Our nuclear power is safer and cheaper than yours
only if you were homer simpson would you know that
-----I won’t even bother commenting on either of these.
12. We actually have natural resources
-----So does the United States. Both countries have breathtaking landscapes.
yes we're so upset we dont have any glaciers. Ya'll are a bigger country of course ya'll'll have more natural resources
-----Where did you get the idea that Canada was all ice and snow? As I said before, both countries have beautiful landscapes.
13. Trees are something that can be found everywhere, not just in certain protected areas
-----See above.
you can find trees everywhere here i have millions of trees on my lot actually its 11 4 ash 1 hickory and 6 pecan but yall get my drift
-----Exaggeration does not make you sound any more intelligent.
14. Our accents don't sound vulgar
-----Accents are a matter of perspective. You don’t know what your accents sound like to us. (Not that they sound bad or anything.) Actually, many Canadians sound a lot like Americans, especially Americans who live near the border we share.
well thats all in a matter of opinion i can t understand yalls accent and sumtimes with the things im readin here im glad i cant
-----I agree with you on the first point you made. However, the rest of it is mean and unnecessary.
15. Our system of government doesn't even remotely resemble Naziism
-----America is a democratic republic. The federal government is based on a system of checks and balances to keep any one branch from gaining too much power.
good 4 u btw neither does ours whered ya get that eh?
-----True, but next time you try to debate someone, don’t use abbreviations.
16. Six feet of snow doesn't slow us down any. Two inches of snow and New York is closed for a week.
-----A city like New York can hardly afford to close for a week. Actually, there is rarely snow on the roads in the city because so many cars are constantly driving on them. They melt the snow as it falls. Cities close when it becomes too dangerous to drive. Basically, for safety purposes only.
well i dont know about that ive never been to new york in the winter but i know in houston if theres 2 inches of smow ppl wont be newhere cept their houses cuz ppl down here dont know how to drive the snow plows
17. Everyone in Canada has at least some rudimentary knowledge of what a farm is
-----There are plenty of farms in the United States. Even in New York, there are cornfields and apple orchards. (Yes, I consider them ‘farms’.) California is famous for its grapes, Florida for its oranges, Georgia for its peaches, Idaho for its potatoes, Iowa for its corn, and much, much more.
good 4 u so do we the usa actually has more farms
18. There's been a woman Prime Minister
-----Women have run for president in the past. No woman has been president yet, but its only a matter of time.
well thats gr8 we dont have prime ministers our country aint that religious.
-----How does having a Prime Minister make you religious?
19. Tim Hortons. No matter where you go in Canada, you can always get good food at the local Tim Horton's. In the U.S. the best you can do is the International House of Pancakes, or McDonalds.
-----First of all, McDonalds is NOT the best you can do (although the Caesar Salad isn’t too bad.) There are millions of diners and five-star restaurants across the country.
im sry but i dunno what that is and don u be goin and dissin ihop now ihop is good breakfast all day long 24/7 actually i prefer burger king but dont tell ronald we have our rfine diners too like benihanas they cook right there in front on the table 4 ya.
-----I won’t comment because I barely understood a word of that.
20. Our flag is original. No other country in the world has a leaf on their flag. How many countries do you see with stars and/or stripes on their flags? It's boring and old.
-----Our flag is very special to us, as I’m sure yours is to you. Several countries have trees (with leaves) on their flags.
a fragile symbol for a fragile country and mexico has a leaf on their flag to i know a lot of conutries with red and white but none other with red white and blue other thatn like england and norway and austalia and ...
-----Many countries use red, white, and blue on their flag.
21. There are more hot Canadians per hundred than there are hot Americans per thousand. Every year when American guys come to my town in the summer they comment on the high number of hot girls here. When I went to Florida last March I saw maybe 2 hot guys the whole trip.
----- “There are more hot Canadians per hundred than there are hot Americans per thousand.” I would like to see the reliable, credible source that this information came from.
well again thats all a matter of opinointhat mioght be true but america has many more thousands than yall have hundreds
-----I won’t even bother responding.
22. Wildlife in Canada does not consist solely of the rats that raid the garbage at night
-----Both America and Canada have diverse wildlife. Actually, the wildlife is very similar.
well good 4 yall neither does ours. i see lots of deer and horses and cows and even llamas a lot more than i see rats rats hide so you dont see them and coons and weasels get into our garbage not rats
-----I think this is the first and only time you are completely correct.
23. We don't have to buy our drinking water from other countries
-----Where I live, as with most American suburbs, our water comes from a reservoir just outside town. Poland Springs, the most widely distributed bottled water in the United States, comes from Poland Springs, Maine.
WOOO Canada has their own drinking water. thats cuz yall have more glaciers than us down here in the Good ole USA personally i dont like glaciers too much. theyre too cold
-----Once again, Canada is not all ice and snow.
24. Acceptance. Canada was the first country in the world to allow homosexual couples to marry, the second to give female equality, and the first to have more than one national language
-----America is an accepting country, too. We have relied on immigration from the beginning. If we were not an accepting nation, there would be barely any population.
well then if you want gays livin in ur country thats gr8 4 you. thats ur decision thats why you run away frm fights cuz you have all these pacifist gays runnin around
-----I believe that generalizations and stereotypes are wrong. People would probably like you more if you didn’t judge them the moment you saw them.
25. I live here
-----Living in a place always seems to make it better than anything else. It’s human nature.
well then the USA is best cuz me and my friends and family live here so that makes the us a hundred times betta than the US
-----I think you meant that it makes America better than Canada. Once again, that’s your opinion because you live there.
canadians base their stereotypical american on the ppl right close to the border up north there. They should come down here to south Texas. Although they may not understand us we let ppl in and are much friendlier in general to the people up north.
-----I’ll take that as a personal insult.
EMAIL ME. i need friends outside my head said my psychiatrist
-----Okay then.
