<p>I AM CANADIAN Hey... I'm not a lumberjack, or a fur trader... and I don't live in an igloo, or eat blubber, or own a dogsled... and I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada, although I'm certain they're really, really nice. I have a Prime Minister, not a President. I speak English & French, NOT American. and I pronounce it 'ABOUT', NOT 'A BOOT'. I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack. I believe in peace keeping, NOT policing. DIVERSITY, NOT assimilation, AND THAT THE BEAVER IS A TRULY PROUD AND NOBLE ANIMAL. A TOQUE IS A HAT, A CHESTERFIELD IS A COUCH, AND IT IS PRONOUNCED 'ZED' NOT 'ZEE', 'ZED'!!! CANADA IS THE SECOND LARGEST LANDMASS! THE FIRST NATION OF HOCKEY! AND THE BEST PART OF NORTH AMERICA! MY NAME IS CATHY!! AND I AM CANADIAN!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>god........</p>
<p>thats what we learned in social class</p>
<p>^ LOL..well said</p>
<p>Ok my turn: I'm from costa rica. Contrary to popular notion we DO NOT live in trees, we actually have houses. McDonalds, Burger King, Taco Bell, PapaJohns whatever, we have it too, it seems Costa Rica IS NOT a nation populated solely by wild animals and jungles. We actually have computers and internet, even though those obnoxious Americans my friends and I met back in 7th grade insisted on explaining what internet was. We are not puerto rico, we are not an island at all, you guys have no idea how many times people have asked me how it feels to live on an island. We speak Spanish, and if some of us don't know english we're not gonna understand instantenously if you guys talk to us in a loud and slow manner. I can not count the times I've had Americans speak to me as if I was retarded, seriously stop, its annoying. OK I'm done</p>
<p>I'm from South Korea that dosen't make us communist. Many people ask me "Are you north korean?" NO U STUPID *<strong><em>-er THEY CANT EVEN GET OUT OF THERE COUNTRY SO HOW THE *</em></strong> WOULD I BE NK IF IM SK! We are not a weak country anymore to contrary beliefs. We are Top 10 in GDP wise, we have an international compaines that are far superior then many US, Japan, European company ( GO SAMSUNG!). Please dont call us Chinese, or Japanese WE ARE FREAKN KOREANS!</p>
<p>PS: DAE HAN MIN GOOK ~~</p>
<p>So is this the "trying to be better than the USA" thread? Cause if it is, no one cares what ur saying. Especially any canadiens.</p>
<p>ouch tripp. read the title. it says express your nation here, not make fun of other nations. :[ maybe canada's the only one with multiculturalism. o yeah, i remember. U.S has a melting fondue policy.</p>

<p>i see. north cal.</p>
<p>dreamin of californication~~</p>
<p>do you ever wonder why theres so many songs about california, but not about anywhere else, say, TExas? or ohio? or minnesota?</p>
<p>...well it was nice to meet you tripperian 35. ;)</p>
<p>any other proud internationalist?</p>
<p>"Alllllllll my exes live in Texas."</p>
<p>There are a buttload of Texas songs. Partly because they are a different breed down there. They think they're the best things that walked the earth. Even though they're mostly just a bunch of hicks.</p>
<p>I'm from Canada too... :)</p>
<p>It's nice to be semi-free from conservative polit- wait. I live in alberta. Damnit. There are no liberals here, and everyone puts on a cowboy hat for 10 days every summer just to look cool. I admit it, I own and wear cowboy attire. Dave Taylor, the only liberal MLA in blue as heck (albeit redneck) Calgary, is my hero and Rob Anders (my MP gaaah) needs to be disposed of. But I still believe that if a banana peel ran for election in my federal riding under the conservative banner, it would win.</p>
<p>Despite Klein, Harper, and their followers, I love alberta and canada. I have to admit that my hs was pretty cool, and the flames are the best hockey team ever (Kipper! MVP! Kipper! MVP!). I'm still moving out to vancouver for uni though. Vancouver 2010! I definetly can't wait.</p>
<p>Anyone remember Rick Mercer's "Talking to Americans" segment? That man is genius. We definetly watched that in SS. I think america-bashing has been written into the provincial curriculum, which is strange considering the Texas-Alberta lovefest. Maybe it has something to do with the liberals who actually support public education? Or did Klein really think he could get away with many millions of deffered maintenance... oh wait, the roof to my hs is coming down... he did! </p>
<p>:O</p>
<p>And that's what canada means to me... a land of contradictions, multiculturalism, pride, and a lot of messed up politics... which is just why I love it so much. My grey matter is only happy when there are lots of grey areas to analyse! </p>
<p>Edit: Just realized this probably won't make sense to anyone. Oh well.</p>
<p>Ya I was completely confused reading that.</p>
<p>Canada's okay.</p>
<p>:O! jimmy! how can you say that! OBviously you've NEver been to canada. i insist on you going. ;)</p>
