*sigh* I've seen various threads where Americans and Canadians got into flame wars over one anothers countries. I say that my fellow Americans and our neighbor Canadians shake hands (figuratively that is) and apologize to one another. After we may be divided by a border, but we are united by one thing: Halo 2...

OK

I don't see the whole Canadian American rivalry's point. Canada is a good country. America is a good country. Why do people have to make up random reasons for their country to be better in the first place? Do you actually think that your flame will have any effect on the fanboi that lives in the other country?

And thus, country rivalries are a living testament to mans' stupidity.

Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

Can't we all just get along? And take over Turkey and call it Chicken?

Are you calling us canucks pigs!!Why you little...Just kidding.

Yeah, it's too bad. If we had a better olympic team then we would have something slightly worth arguing over, but alas, we have but four meagre medals.

I think we should flame *Throws dart at map*...

I love Canadia because of pineapple and canadian bacon pizza. It's orgasmically good. :) *Well, not quite, but it's good allthe same.

And, Xeroh, that's mostly California, and some other state... ;)

PM me if you want valid reasons why some Americans can have valid reason for disliking Canada. EDIT Specifically, Canadian Government Policy.

After we may be divided by a border, but we are united by one thing: Halo 2...

By that logic, we should be on great terms with North Korea, China, Russia, France, Cuba, etc. etc. etc., as well.

I just dont like how most Americans are so ignorant, I mean I told an American I lived in an Igloo, hunted moose & squirell and was a lumberjack, and he believed me!
I don't know why everyone thinks that all Canadians say "EH!" and "ABOOT" because thats like only Newfoundlanders. No, its not always snowing up here and also we are NOT communists. I wish the Americans that actually insult Canada would actually read up on some facts or history before doing so, so you have a legitement case. Its pretty bad when pretty much every American who insults Canada's main point is that they could invade us, yes I'll give that to you, you could invade us, BUT pretty much every other country in the world would come to our aid, not to mention the USA being kicked out of the UN and what not.
So yes, I would like to bury the hatchet with the Americans so to speak because I do know quite a few of them over X-box Live and almost all of them are very respectable people.

So I'm ready to make things better with them, just don't insult us and we won't do likewise.

Same here, we are both good countries, the mian thing we get fights in are over world issues. Which most countries do it is just that we and the Americans being brothers as Xeroh says get into more heated arguments.

Actually, we tried that a few times (in the Revolution and War of 1812) and it didn't work.

Yes, I knew about that, and was going to put it into my post, but it would start a flame war.
Yes, the Americans did try and invade us but we pushed them back and even burned down the whitehouse. And if I put that into my post it would start a flame war. And that was like 200 years ago anyways.

The past is the past.

Well actually the second World War was partially the Allies' fault with the treaty of Versailles, not to mention that Germany had a sadistic, racist, fascist, power hungry leader.
Now they have a respectable leader and yes, are very good Allies.
