he he. I have family in the land of Maple and Park Rangers too. I visited Canadia a few times too. I also have family near Germania.

Wow, there's alot more Canadians on this board than originally thought. Not that it's a bad thing.

Yes it is. JK all you horse riding, syrup making, clean cities living, free health care taking, french speaking Canadians.

Come now, we don't ALL speak French. I have a friend who really hates the French. Makes me want to speak French around her just to spite her.

lol , speaking of french..i have a french oral presentation tmorr lol! and i still don't know how to say 475,000km...grrr

I was just playing Quis I just like joking about Canadians, maybe because I watch a lot of Simpsons. It would be awesome if you could speak French Quis.

I do speak a tiny bit of French, actually. Used to be able to do tiny bits of nearly 10 languages, but *gasps* I'm getting old and don't remember much of anything anymore.

And I know you were playing. Personally, I find all the Canadian stereotypes rather amusing. How we apparently all live in igloos and cities are all patrolled by Mounties on horses and whatnot . . . I remember this line a friend of mine once blurted out in class in junior high while discussing such stereotypes:

"It's fine if the States ever decide to attack us. Our igloos are bullet-proof and if worse comes to worst, we can line our polar bears up at the border."

LOL. That's funny. I know you guys don't live in igloos. Igloos are for inuits (eskimoes). French is such a purdy language. I especially like the hot mounty stereotype, they are always beautiful chicks on horses. Nice. Anyways, does everyone there really speak like this?

Would you like to play a jolly ol' game of hocky or rugby.

What are you talking aboot? The weather is much more suited for broom pushin! (or whatevr that game is called when they sweep the ice with brooms.)

Aye. You're right. Jolly good day. Afterwards we should have some crumpets and tea.

I know I incorporated british and irish bits. lol makes for a better story.

Not even the Inuits live in igloos now. Not many anyway. French is nice, yes.

There's a hot Mountie stereotype? Never heard that one. And I've only ever seen male Mounties. And not all of them are hot, let me assure you.

Also, we say "about", not "aboot" (that appears to be a very common stereotype as well). And you only really talk like that if you're nuts or you're trying to mock someone. And the broom pushing thing . . . I assume you're speaking of curling.

Man... that mounty thing has crushed my dreams... What do inuits live in then? teepees? (native american stereotype, not really but that's what they're known for) I love the "aboot". It sounds so funny. Did you ever see the SXouth Park when they showed the Canadians and they're like. "What is everyone laughing aboot?" and they laugh even louder. Good stuff

They certainly don't live in igloos or teepees. I don't know what they live in now, but quite possibly normal housing or log cabins?

I wanted to be a Mountie once, just so I could wear the hat and ride the horse.

And no, I don't watch South Park. But "aboot" is rather funny, yes.

Duh, I live in Sweden. Any jokes about igloos? ;P

No, but you guys do love to yodal. *Zing* I got nothin. I don't really know any Swedish stereotypes. I know plenty of Italian-American, and Irish, Catholic, Black, Asian, Jewish, and American stereotypes though He he, I'm a terrible person.

CURLING!!! the dumbest thing that can still be construed as a sport, an olympic sport nonetheless....

but hitokiri still has his dream of becoming the first asian olympic curler.

I agree. I don't quite understand why some people find it fun . . .

He he. I love that sport. Me and Pa were playing on a lake but the ice broke and he fell in.... I've never played since then.

scary "x-treme curling, on thin ice!"

That does sound rather dangerous . . .

Yes. I never got over my father's death... >:-(***

hmmm curling on thin ice is something i'll have to try....

Canadians are good at paintball? That's a new one. And here I thought we were only good with Hockey.

You do that. Awww, I wanna try paintball guns sooo bad.

hey don't underestimate yourself there.... don't forget the lumberjack games

Wouldn't know. Never been to one.

yep cannadians are good at paintball, the world cup was held there last year (in '03). oh and dont get to far into paintball, i end up spending like 100$ a week on paint alone. (witch is why im quitting the tournament scene)

yeah, and i hear canadians are excellent at running on rolling logs, while wearing red plaid and carrying an axe on one shoulder.

Damn. I'll only become a paintballer if I become an eccentric billionaire when I grow up. In that case I would also be a crazy cat man because I love cats. Also, my wife would be the crazy cat lady.

yep, i've been told that thier heads flap when they talk as well.

And they are very flatulent lol (no offense Quis)

heh...i watch alot of simpsons too....it's awesome^_^

Sure is. You can never get enough Simpsons or Fresh prince. I've been watching both since I can remember.

o yea fresh prince! funny show...funny show

But that's so fun.

Yeah, I kid, I've never done that.


Actually, I am under the impression that this "stereotype" belongs more to the Americans, because of the quantity of high-cholesterol food consumption and whatnot. So I've been told by my old Social Studies teacher anyway.

I've never played Paintball before either . . .

O.o;; now this is interesting... I just thought people just abondaned this topic ^^;;
