As the National Lampoon said decades ago:
Sometimes it may be hard to tell a bright Canadian from a very boring white man.
-
In case you didn't have the background on this...
(Apart from the obvious.)

That's it, fuck it. I'm out
3rd generation Canadian, straight but proud.
Happy election season, eh.
-
Curious
What do they say about Canadians?
-
But what kind?
Are we talking about one of them French Canadians or are we talking about a Real Canadian?
I keed! I keed!

Canadian tipping
I've waited tables and tended bar for a loooong time, and until about a year ago, I had never heard of black being people called Canadians.
I had heard the term "spoda." Because they spoda tip, but they don't.
Yeah, I know, stereotype. But don't many stereotypes, like myths, have some basis in reality?
-
Bizarre!
Here's a link that seems to work:

If the other poster hadn't pointed this out, I would have thought that this was part of a little game to show people how stupid and universal hate is. I read it in a blog a long time ago...take a bit of racist scribble and replace the offending ethnicity (or whatever) with something like "people who wear purple socks" and toss it back at the original poster. Such as "Restaurants run by people who wear purple socks never use real meat." etc.

Is Canada ready for an American tourist invasion?
Departing from Main's lovely tourist site, Bar Harbor,
After hopping off the Cat Ferry, and landing in Yarmouth,
A rowdy crew is packed like wales in a vintage sedan tin-can. Gas Hogs.
The Americans toss empty cans of Root Beer, and bags of stale Dunking Donuts.
They head to Tim Norton's. America complains about weak coffee and leave bud cans.
Mountain Dew cans litter the highways, beaches, and wood lots. The border guards QUIT?
America insist no French is to be spoken anymore. Nova Scotia becomes a hideaway soon.

We might have one for you...
Just in case you Yanks (yanking our chain) really WOULD like a Canadian president, we have a Prime Minister we wouldn't mind passing on to you... (Not offering to trade for any of your ex-presidents or current candidates, mind you.)
-
Or...
We have a Governor-General you might like - not only female, but a CANADIAN-Canadian (wink wink nudge nudge).
-
wychwood?
Tim Horton's ice hockey puck is a cream tuff donut? yup.
Americans demand that Dunking Donuts rule Canada. huh.
The last time I crossed the border, I was busted for the asparagus. merci.
-
90% of Canadians live within 100 miles of the US Border
Canada is America's bear buffer zone.

Nat lamp
National Lampoon used to do a lot of stuff about Canada. I think several of the writers were Canadians.
Nat Lamp used to call Canadians "frostbacks" and claimed that visitors to Canada should never eat the parsley garnish on their plates as Canadian restaurateurs believed that parsley was poisonous and would try and get it out of your mouth.

perhaps the beginning of the end of 'whiteness' & 'blackness'
this is the key opportunity to confront prejudice on a national and personal scale; a transitional moment toward the era when caucasians will become a minority among 'minorities'
