(not including the bloc because they only in quebec).

Canada plus Us? I shake my head to that! I do not AT ALL want to unite with the americans. and I doubt that many canadains want to unite the two.

People make fun of Canadians in the US sometimes. There is a song called Canadian Idiot also.

My Mistress is Canadian, and I see lots more good points about Canada in general than the US, however the US has some good people and places, it's not all bad.

I understand that. But really we dont want to trade what we got for private health care, economic recession and the war in iraq. Sorry but really no thanks. Also I find the canadian idiot song quite funny.

And I'm sure that Canadians make fun of Americans in Canada.... as do most countries do to all other countries.
I've never heard of that song btw.

It sounds stupid.

It hought the song was funny, but yes, someone is always making fun of someone else in their country.

Hehe. Making fun of your neighbouring countries is much more fun if you have as much as we have.
If I had to choose whether to emmigrate to Canada or to the US I would definitely choose Canada.

Yup, like "Go to Poland, your car is there yet".
The mentioned song is a parody performed by Weird Al Yankovic, AFAIK. It explains much.

I think there are very few people who aren't proud of their own county... In fact everyone is very nationalist. They might like other countries but they always glorify their own flag, of course. And people who don't do it are kinda...stupid. Everyone screams their potential, which is obvius... But all have their flaws. Like, Americans, maybe they are unlucky but what I mostly see... Common people have no culture(that's what I see, might not be true):
http://youtube.com/watch?v=fJuNgBkloFE Still, admit, they have the world at their feet at the moment (not for long, though)
As for Portuguese, big potential, but all corrupt --" Oh and most old woman have a mustache

But still, a country who could fit 10x on most of the other countrys in the world, once had the world at their feet.
Canada? I love your sirup
Edit: I hope I didn't offend anyone
