I have a bad feeling that I'm opening up a tin of smoked salmon with this one but I'm really curious. What does everyone think about Canada, the proud home of touques, clam chowder, hockey, and Nanaimo bars (I had to throw this one in knowing how much NIA is fond of them!)? So I'm just going to sit back, crack open a tin of Lucky Lager, and watch the free for all!

Indio, here's what a friend of mine from NYC says "We know you're there. We just don't think about you. It's nothing personal."

Jon Stewart (US comedian) once called Canada the "United States' college dropout son who lives in their attic".

I always thought Canada to be the second best place in the world to live, even though I've never been there. Dunno why, but Canada always seemed nice to me.

The best place? Brasil, of course.

I'd go along with what Slaytanic says, apart from the Brazil bit...

According to the UN, Canada actually has the highest score on their 'Quality of Life' index. Read into that what you will.

Canada has given the world some of its greatest musicians,
best hockey players, some pretty decent beer, and of course...

The inspiration for THIS:

IMHO canadians are "americans" also, much like mexicans, brazilians, and even U.S. citizens.

I like Canada, I just don't like going to Canada. (I hate the customs agents)

I'm canadian and i have to say, we fucking rule! i dig the U.S too but i don't think i'd like to live there. I like our beer, i like the friendly people and i like being able to go outside with out fearing i'll get mugged or killed. I dunno if it IS really like that over there but i'd be scared of that kinda shit if i went over the boarder.

Alberta sucks! They kiss way too much american ass then get kicked in the teeth by the very foot whos ass they just kissed! Alberta's premier sent a letter to the U.S. supporting the war against Iraq against our federal government( basicaly kissing Bush's arse)only to later have the U.S stop importing Alberta beef beef over a non issue Mad Cow hoax(getting your teeth kicked in)!

They rest of Canada rocks! All you yankees who havn't seen the movie FUBAR should rent it.It's all about Canadian Bangers!METAL RULES!!! RENT FUBAR! Terry and Dean are the new Bob and Doug Mckenzie!

I HAVE a solution for word peace. Take half each of the people that live in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York and spread them all out across the questionably habitable lands that makes up Canada. HOW will this equal world peace? I dunno. But everybody's paying big bucks for anything that has the words "Reality TV show" in it. So what the hell....

Think Canada is cool. Wouldn't mind living there. Has all the stuff the U.S has anyway, and than some more.

How do I view Canada? Welly, welly, welly...I think they have some great rock bands (Voïvod, D.O.A., Nomeansno, Subhumans, Slaughter, Razor, Max Webster and...Rush!), a great filmmaker named David Cronenberg (and some good individual pictures like "The Cube" and "The Five Senses") plus the mighty Neil Young!

What else do I remember when I think of Canada? Hmmm..let's see...lame pop stars (Bryan Adams, Alanis, Avril, Celine Dion), Jim Carrey, Paul Shaffer, the Toronto Raptors, ice hockey (duh...), flannel shirts, snow, bears, mapple syrup, Terence & Phillip...

It can't be that bad...
