Is Canada a country???

[LTIGHT]

This has got to be one of the stupidest things anyone has ever asked me. I was dealing with an insurance broker in Tampa, and while giving her my driver's information..she stops me to ask
*OK..British Columbia Canada...now wich one is the country and wich one is the state*

Jesus Christ! I was waiting for *where is your igloo located* to come next.

One of the american clients that I deliver to in Seattle asked me the other day if we celebrated Christmas at the same time as they did.

"You guys have Christmas right? Do you do it on the same day as us?"

No, we do it in March and instead of Santa Claus we have a big fat Chinese guy deliver us presents in a Cadilla Eldorado.

americans are retarded when it comes to canada.

although this is by far the dumbest thing I've heard one of them say... to not know anything about Canada is one thing, but to not even know if it is a country qualifies this woman for an IQ of -120. Off scale stupidity.

actually we're not, in 1982 we finally got our own constitution remember? This makes us our very own country.

and they actually call toques "beenies" more than anything else, which is much lamer than stocking cap

it is a fact (100%) that RUSSIA still has the largest landmass of any country in the world - and still by quite a bit... China is 3rd, US 4th, etc.

^US actually beats China by a hair, with Brazil in 5th place...

My sister lived in california and her neighbor gave her a Norweigen Potato peeler. She asked "Why give it to me?"

The neighbor answered "Well since norway and canada are so close together I thought you will make better use out of it"

"When I look around me
I can't believe what I see
It seems as if this country has lost its will to live
The economy is lousy
We barely have an army
But we can still stand proudly cuz Canada's really big.
We're the second largest country
On this planet Earth
And if Russia keeps on shrinking
Then soon we'll be first (As long as we keep Quebec)

USA has tanks
Switzerland has banks
They can keep them banks, they just don't amount
Cuz when you come down to it,
You'll find out what the truth is:
It isn't what you do with it, it's the size that counts.
Some people will tell you that France is pretty large
But you can put fourteen Frances into this land of ours (It'd take a whole lotta work, it'd take a whole lotta work)

We're larger than Malaysia
We're most as big as Asia
We're bigger than Australia and it's a continent
So big we seldom bother
To go see one another
But we often go to other countries for vacations.
Our mountains are very pointy
Our prairies are not
The rest is kinda bumpy,
But man do we have a lot (We gotta whole lotta land, we gotta whole lotta land)

So stand up and be proud
And sing out very loud
We stand out from the crowd because Canadaaaaaaaaaaaaa's reeeeeeeallyyyyyyy biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig"

- The Arrogant Worms' proposal for the New National Anthem. Because Oh Canada sucks. The Americans get to blow up stuff in theirs. We stand on guard. The fuck is up with that?

This past October we went to Seattle and visted Enchanted Village. Its like an amusement park similar to Playland. We were waiting in line to get on the rollercoaster and we must have mentioned something about Canada.

The moron american then stops and asks, Are you from Ca-nay-dia?

Ca-nay-dia??? You idiot! Its Can-a-da. You would have known this if you passed, or more likely were taught proper english in elementary school.

Its shocking how much less informed Americans are about our culture compared to us about their culture.

i remember i once saw this tv show that had a segment where they went around america asking random people stuff about canada and the answers they gave were so stupid. its unbelievable how clueless these people are.

anyhow, i think this guy confirms how clueless they are (read the lower Q&A's)

that show was called "talking to americans" with rick mercer.
yes, it's hilarious to watch but not a very good way to judge americans. obviously they only pick the stuidest people and the funniest answers to air on the show. doesn't mean that all americans are like that.

Talking With Americans with Rick Mercer on This Hour Has 22 Minutes.

Amusing story:

My friend at Harvard sends me this e-mail a while back telling about how he was hanging around a friend's dorm, and she comes in and asks "Are there any Rhinoceroses in Canada?"

My friend (We'll call him Simon) chuckles and says no. She asks "Are you sure?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Well, there was a Canadian news reporter guy who asked me for my opinion on the Canadian government revoking a 100-year-old treaty in which only the natives could hunt the Canadian Rhinoceros."

Later that day, Simon ran into one of his Canadian friends...

"Simon! Guess who I just saw!"

"Rick Mercer?"

"Yeah! He just got a Senior to sign a petition to save Canada's last University!"

The End.
