Wow. Absolutely incredible.
Yes, I'm Canadian. No, I don't carry my shotgun one handed (I leave that talent for certain presidents on vacation), I don't have a pet beaver (although that would be pretty cool ;) ), I DO speak French (cue the flaming), and I'm not ignorant about your culture or mine. A rare talent.
I DO say 'eh', and the only time I've heard aboot (that wasn't a mocking word towards myself or my companions) was when one of my friends was drunk in a bar.
Ending self-introduction . . . cue rant.
First, to Grey Fox and all those who think that we need SATELLITE TV to watch American Idol . . . We don't. It should be immediately obvious, but apparently to some, it isn't.
Considering that because television networks consider the US of A to be the center of the universe, we get a lot of your TV. That includes American Idol. American Morning. American Dad. Fun fun fun!
Second, to such excellent and esteemed posters as "steveo1336" (btw, you're off by one); Don't even try to bring your "War On Terrorism" or whatever you call it these days into this. I could talk for hours about that, but I won't. Sadly for you, Canada actually has a backbone when it comes to certain matters! (Sadly for us, it doesn't for other matters).
Lucasb211 -> Many of us DO have a sense of humour. Back when the fight in Afghanistan begun, I remember parading a favourite joke of mine about taxes and how our support to the war wouldn't amount to more than a heritage canoe and a pair of flying squirrels . . . But a sense of humour will NOT help with unprovoked attacks such as those from my fellow poster steveo1336. Telling us that we don't have a sense of humour is absurd.
To Bungie -> Congratulations on creating a forum post DESIGNED to attack Canada. Brilliant. Yes, I realize that wasn't your intention. However guess what. Creating a topic called "Blame Canada" just MIGHT cause people to do something completely random and unexpected . . .like blaming Canada! Excellent work! You just did your very best to offend a nation that resides directly north of your own! Congratulations! Go read about Grunts carrying Flak Cannons in your 'Halo Bible' or whatever you do with your time. (see my post in the Hollywood thread).
I hope my post was informative and interesting to read. Depending on some of your attention spans, it might have been difficult, so I do thank you for making it all the way through the post, those of you that did. To those who didn't, this post subject should suffice.
