I hope I'm not the only one who finds this highly ironic.

Canada: America's backyard.

[ludo21]

Just a joke.... but still, you are going to feel wratch because most of us are Americans.

Totally worth it.

Canada: America's backyard.

I prefer: Canada: The loft above the party.

[2KBack]

With all the humor in America at the expense of Canada, it's a little hypoctritical to be insulted when the favor is returned.

I enjoy a world where we can all just make fun of each other.

Tonight's SNL digital short was about Americans on the street answering Andy Samberg's questions correctly. It wasn't funny, though I chuckled because I had just watched the videos provided in this thread.

Also, Canadian singer Nelly Furtado and her ass looked real nice on SNL tonight.

I was in Calgary last month; it's the poor man's Denver.

Though Denver is our Sister city, and we are identical in every way, we're not exactly what one would call poor.....what with us sitting on the largest oil deposit on earth....Argh!

Okay. Must not retaliate to Canada-bashing...you asked for it.....[/talking to self]

I think Americans offended by anything ironic.

yes, meaning lost.

You'll have to excuse this right-wingnut for thinking most in the US of A are spoiled, lazy, doing-just-enough-to-get-by bunch of underachievers since...I don't know when.

Me? Right-winger? HA!

I just think you are ignorant. I love Americans! I mean, your government may suck balls(They disobey NAFTA so much it's digusting) but as a nation, you guys kick ass. Underacheivers? Look, I recognize that you guys got to be the lone superpower for a reason. Of course, a side effect of being the lone superpower left is that you don't really bother to learn much outside your own borders, because, well, you don't need to.

I'm not saying your guys' lack of knowledge about your main ally(Not to mention Oil supplier) isn't justified or irrational. I'm not knocking on your guys. I just think it's funny.

Talk of having the worlds largest secret untapped oil reserves comes pretty cheap. (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1634161/posts)

Talk of having the worlds largest secret untapped oil reserves comes pretty cheap. (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1634161/posts)

My apoligies, 2nd largest (http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/rankorder/2178rank.html), while estimates say that it could be up to 5 times larger. The numbers shown in the CIA Factbook don't include the as-of-now untappable oilsands.

Alberta's oil sands contain the biggest known reserve of oil in the world. An estimated 1.7 to 2.5 trillion barrels of oil are trapped in a complex mixture of sand, water and clay. The most prominent theory of how this vast resource was formed suggests that light crude oil from southern Alberta migrated north and east with the same pressures that formed the Rocky Mountains. Over time, the actions of water and bacteria transformed the light crude into bitumen, a much heavier, carbon rich, and extremely viscous oil. The percentage of bitumen in oil sand can range from 1% -20%. The oil saturated sand deposits left over from ancient rivers in three main areas, Peace River, Cold Lake and Athabasca. The Athabasca area is the largest and closest to the surface, accounting for the large-scale oil sands development around Fort McMurray.

Most of the oil sands of Canada are located in three major deposits in northern Alberta. The three deposits are the Athabasca-Wabiskaw oil sands of north northeastern Alberta, the Cold Lake deposits of east northeastern Alberta, and the Peace River deposits of northwestern Alberta. Between them they cover over 140,000 square kilometers (54,000 square miles) an area larger than Florida and hold at least 175 billion barrels (175×109 bbl) or 28 billion cubic metres (28×109 m3) of recoverable crude bitumen, which amounts to three-quarters of North American petroleum reserves. In addition to the Alberta deposits, there are major oil sands deposits on Melville Island in the Canadian Arctic islands but they are unlikely to see commercial production in the foreseable future.

The Alberta oil sands deposits contain at least 85% of the world's total bitumen reserves but are so concentrated as to be the only such deposits that are economically recoverable for conversion to oil. The largest bitumen deposit, containing about 80% of the total, and the only one suitable for surface mining is the Athabasca Oil Sands along the Athabasca River. The mineable area as defined by the Alberta government covers 37 contiguous townships (about 3400 square kilometres or 1300 square miles) north of the city of Fort McMurray. The smaller Cold Lake deposits important because some of the oil is fluid enough to be produced by conventional production methods. All three Alberta areas are suitable for production using in-situ methods such as cyclic steam stimulation (CSS) and steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD).

The Canadian oil sands have been in commercial production since the original Great Canadian Oil Sands (now Suncor) mine began operation in 1967. A second mine, operated by the Syncrude consortium, began operation in 1978 and is the biggest mine of any type in the world. The third mine in the Athabasca Oil Sands, the Albian Sands consortium of Shell Canada, Chevron Corporation and Western Oil Sands Inc. began operation in 2003. However, with the development of new in-situ production techniques such as steam assisted gravity drainage and the Oil price increases of 2004-2006, there are now several dozen companies planning nearly 100 oil sands mines and in-situ projects in Canada, totaling nearly $100 billion in capital investment.

I have no self control.

I can't remember who said it, but "the best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter", stings of the truth. I offer our current administration as a shining example of the truth of that sentiment.

For the most part Americans are the ultimate Homers.

It's pathetic how little knowledge of the world the average american has. BUT, I'm sure you could go to any country and find plenty of people, similarly unknowledgable about the world in which we live, willing to make an ass of themselves on TV.

[BroncosMT]

Being a dual citizen and spending most of my life in southern Alberta....Canada and the U.S. are almost one in the same. I have always been pro U.S. and when I was a senior in High School I did a project on why Alberta and B.C. should become the 51st and 52nd states to connect Alaska. My teacher was very anti-US so I got an F. Other than the health care and the color of the money it's all the same. All I know is being in Montana and around all the nukes...I'm not going to feel a thing when I vaporize..LOL

That is totally absurd...do you offer an alternative? This isn't the political forum but what do you suggest, a dictatorship? Converstion with the average voter? You idiot, there is no average voter without democracy. Everyone is an average voter thank God. I'm perfectly aware that the buracracy is wrapped in kevlar but you, like many idiots, are quick to make blame yet have no solutions. WTF do you think "Democracy" means? Ed *the swimmer* is going to tell us if he can make it to the podium?

So I pose it back to you...if not democracy, what?

Your a moron.

Gee whiz, your a dual citizen thus the holier than thou attitude...what country is it, why didn't you name it? No Canada and the US are not virtually the same country at all except we foot the bill for their defenxe for the most part...Don't worry about getting an F, it was just standard, it's ok to give Quequack back to the French but don't even mention that! It's no wonder you got an F it was idiotic.

[Connecticut Bronco Fan]

Americans will do anything to get on TV, even if its Canadian TV. I found these clips to be very funny and laughed the whole time. I'm sure it had to take him alot of takes to get people to go along with what he said. Alot of those " Congratulations Candad on .. " were staged, and just seemed like he asked them to say it to the camera. All in all its funny, but shouldn't be taken too literaly.

[Arkie]

Through careful thought, our founding fathers produced a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy as some people falsely believe. In fact, nowhere in the Declaration of Independence or the U.S. Constitution does it mention democracy. Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution guarantees "to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government."

So when George W. Bush describes America as a democracy, he hasn't a clue as to what kind of government he wishes to rule.

The U.S. system relies on representatives to establish laws rather than through the voting public or imperial minded presidents. During the Constitutional Convention of 1787 no one supported a direct form of democracy. On the contrary, our founders feared pure democracy because it provides no checks and balances on the people themselves.

The ancient Greeks invented demo-cracy. The two words combined literally means "rule by the people." Later, the Romans took some of their governmental ideas from the Greeks and evolved a representative democracy which had representatives from the nobility in the Senate and representatives from the commoners in the Assembly. The Roman government divided between these two branches and they voted on various issues.

Our founding fathers based the United States government on the Greek, Roman, and Anglo-Saxon ideas along with freethought ideas from the Enlightenment. Of course the Enlightenment went against the grain of Christian, Jewish, and Islamic thought, and by this standard, meets the requirements of Pagan thought, thus our form of government derives entirely from Pagan ideas.

Who has a holier than thou attitude?? You make a good point about defense as Canada's Armed Forces aren't up to the U.S. But my guess would be that you have never been to Canada and if you have you haven't spent much time there. If you have you would understand that a lot of the philosophies and the way people think are the same. Also if you look at Alberta and B.C. they are very similar to Montana and Washington. Alberta as a state would help with the gas because just in that province alone they have triple what the U.S. has total. As I stated I have always been pro U.S. as there are a lot more opportunities down here but I enjoyed my time in Canada.

[watermock]

That is toatally not true on many levels. In this counry, representaives are elected not appointed for one thing.

So what your splitting hairs. voters vote to have someone represent tham!

I could care less what the Greeks and Ramans did thousands of years ago or what you define as "Democracy" to make some abscure point.

Sure, its a stupid question, but its all in the presentation. Think about it. If you had a camara in front of your face, with a guy saying he's a reporter for the CBC, then he gives you some background on the question, like he did at Mt. Rushmore and in Little Rock, then most people don't really think about what they are saying...

The most intelligent answer was buy the country gentleman wearing the cowboy hat in Little Rock. He actually thought about the question, then answered it as best he could. And, he gave a good answer.

[Swedish Extrovert]

I wish he would have asked "why" on a lot of those. That would be very funny....

I didn't post the Canbadian Thread at all. What to I care about Montana being taken over by clebrities? When Canadians make fun of us with loaded questions thats fine I guess.

I tell you what...let's go to Canada and pose those same questions. I'm not saying there are not idiots all around us, but just go up there and have a good laugh as well.

[footstepsfrom#27]

I travel back and forth to Toronto on business...now and then to Vancouver...and I love both cities, though I couldn't hack Toronto's winters. Most of the Canadians I've met (all city dwellers) seem to be pretty much like we are...PO'd at what the government's up to here and not overly enamored with their own either...but I don't see them as any more informed on the world than we are, except around U of Toronto, very cosmopoliltan city with a lot of international flavor...but New York and Chicago have that too. Toronto amazes me with how clean it is.

It's not to tough to get a leg up on Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana...;D

I like the fact that there's still a lot of Canada that's unspoiled...hopefully it remains that way for a while.

The only things I don't like about Canada now is that it's no longer cheap to go there and the fact that I'm going to need a $90.00 passport to get in and out of it next year....neither of which is the Canadians fault at all.

Democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried before. ~Churchill.

Besides, what country on this planet is a democracy? I know of none.

All I know of are republics, socialists, communists, fascist, and totalitarian governments. I have yet to see a democratic government.

We live in a Republic, but the media would have you believe its a democracy. Completely untrue and in fact, so far from the truth its amazing that they are allowed to question anyone on their intelligence when they do not even realize what the type of government we live in is.

Most American are pretty damn ignorant you must admit. When 50% of Americans can't find Louisiana on a map you know that's pretty F'd up.

I definitely feel you there, for some reason or another, most other countries have more knowledge on foreign affairs than we do.

That's true, but assuming someone is ignorant based on their nationality is itself equally as ignorant.

This is the funniest sh*t I've read on the 'Mane in months!LOL

You should not encourage him.

Here is the stone cold fact. We hold the nuclear cards and navy for the Candians. They get off virtually scot free.

I have no problem with Canucks, they brought us many great comedians. It's when they go Ostrich that it pisses me off.

I'm sick and tired of the "you handle it" bullcrap.

The U.N. says we have to close Gitmo Detention.

I read the resolution and there as absolutely nothing on where to put these terrorist!

Absolutely nothing. Fine! Let's just tattoo their foreheads and let them run into Cuba.

LOL

I have heard of run-on sentences before, but a run-on idiopathic brain f*rt? That one has got to be a classic.

Canadians fought along side the US in Korea and in Europe during WWII, and they are there in Afganistan and partners agains terrorists. They have been consistently strong allies and friends for just about forever.

Mock, put down that bottle and step away.

Well, let them keep the peace for a trillion a year. It's easy to be touchy feely when your not footing the bill in money and blood and the USA is protecting your ass.

[BroncoFanCam]

I'm just a wee-bit behind on this one, but from what I read on page one...

I am an American, born and raised. 3 years ago I moved to Australia, and I had no idea how ignorant we (meaning most of the people i have dealt woith in my life) are when it comes to other countries.

Did you know in Australia, they are taught AMERICAN history during their school years?

How many of us can name two states in Australia, let alone speak of how Australia as a continent was populated, and as a country formed?

Very few.

When I was back home, I could give a rats ass about Canada. Every time that word (Canada) was even mentioned, practically everyone I know would reply.. *$%# Canada... What a disgrace!

Since being here, I have come to appreciate a lot of things I simply took for granted when they were all around me. I fear many others feel the same way.

As far as taking this crap personal...

Bomb Saskatchewan?!?!?!?! Those people and ourselves deserve to be laughed at for that crap.

We all need to be able to laugh at each other and ourselves. They are currently kicking up a stink here, about John Howard's recent visit with George Bush.

http://www.idu.org/johnhwrd.jpg
(John Howard is Australia's Prime Minister). George was asked about his friendship with John Howard and he replied...

"You know, people often tell me, "You and John Howard are so similar, are there any differences between you?" "And I tell them, yeah... he has no hair... he may not be the best looking guy on the block, but his word, you can take to the bank."

We piss off everyone else whether intentionally or not. And whether or not it's just them being too damn sensitive or snooty. To not be able to laugh at ourselves when we make so much fun of everyone else is a bit hypocritical. So long as it is all kept somewhat good-natured.

Yeah I studied in England, they are surprisingly well versed in AMerican History. Of course they have no knowledge whatsoever of Chinese history, Indian history, African history, etc. But hey, why not learn about the superpower in the world and then prescribe yourself as well versed on foreign affairs, Can you name two states in Madagascar? Why should I really care that much about Austrailia except that its populated by criminals, a grand supply of uranium, and hopelessly mutated mammals.

[watermock]

That is total bull****.

But I guess that's why other countries, even ones we are on friendly terms with (which are running in short supply these days), have a sort of "Anti-American" sentiment about them.

Nice work genious!

Australia has 7 states.

Also, "friendly" is a misnomer. The only countries we should trust are the ones we dont need a UN translator for.

So I take it you can't name two states in Madagascar? How about two provinces in China then? Or India?

Easier to attack the man rather than the argument. So Europeans and Australians know the history of whites better than Americans. Why should that really impress me or explain why Americans are "stupid."

One of the first things I realized in England was that the people there are just as stupid as people are in the US or anywhere for that matter. Most Europeans who harp of American ignorance are usually elitist pricks that know little more than their American peers.

[RaiderH8r]

I can't remember who said it, but "the best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter", stings of the truth. I offer our current administration as a shining example of the truth of that sentiment.

For the most part Americans are the ultimate Homers.
PJ O'Rourke said it.

And Canadian beer sucks. They're still pissed we stole hockey. HA! No professional athelete wants a pocket full of loonies because strippers like folding money better

[BroncoFanCam]

I can't and WON'T argue with that... Having never been to Europe I can't comment.

But from where I sit the average Aussie knows ten times as much about us as we know about them.

A lot of it is simply exposure. American television and news is on daily here. (Not entire newscasts, but snippets on local news.) One Aussie guy told me... "Well the problem is, you have so much going on in your own country, there just isn't that much time,to get to all of that, let alone anything happening in the rest of the world."

Which is probably true, but is sad none the less.

Point is, we could stand to do A LOT more as far as knowing about other places, except that no one cares. It's eye openoing to see how little you actually do know, once away from home.

[watermock]

Show me a run on sentence there dumbass. I have had plenty of run on sentences, but every statment had a period behind it. Your an idiot that is just ashamed because I called you a Canuck.

[Paladin]

"Your an idiot that is just ashamed because I called you a Canuck."

1. You're. not your. You don't know English?
2. An ashamed idiot? Not so, prick.
3. Canuck? Nope, born right here in the good old USA. I already told you I was born in the Boone River Valley area right there in Northern Iowa. I am surprised there are still hicks like you around there because the Iowa farmers used to vote for more school moey nearly everytime a queisot came up. They believed in education and knowledge. Too bad you missed out....

Jezus, Mock, you are an absolute arse, complete with spouty little bunghole you call a mouth. While you were tyoing that stiupid crap, I'll bet little flecks of froth got thrown off in to your little keyboard. You are a complete ignorant idiot.

Go suck an ear of corn.

Did you ever see that movie Canadian Bacon? It's a lame-o with John Candy in his later years. Anyway, Candy and his buddies go over to Canada for a hockey game and a the Canucks are all nice and buddy buddy until Candy says their beer sucks. The game stops dead cold and a brawl ensues, it's classic.

[Rausch]

This is such an entertaining thread to read from the point of view of someone who isn't from Canada or America...

yes, i saw it. its one of those movies that when you are watching it, its not that funny, but then when you think back (like now) you get a good chuckle out of it. :~ohyah!:

it always cracks me up when i think of candy trying to 'get back' at the canadians by dumping garbage cans in the park. :giggle:
