J/K, but according to this article you's had better act the way we want you to act or your economy will suffer.

What a bunch of crybaby B.S.

It's true, Canada didn't exist before we signed the free trade agreement with the US.

Happy Wonderer · 03-25-2003, 01:02 PM

So who is the US going to be able to trade with by the time this is over?

We won't need to. After all, if we need any more resources, we'll just make up some lame ass excuse to go invade whatever country it is that has what we want.

Works for me.

Canada needs to step up and quit being such a pussy.

we need a bigger army, and a helluva lot stronger economy.

in any case, i think we'll survive.

after all, the US needs us.

I'd heard someone say that Canada could've become a good nation since it could've had British culture, French cuisine, and American technology, but opted instead for American culture, British cuisine, and French technology to ensure it's place as...well, Canada. Apologies to our friends in the north.

That's actually right on target. Damnit I can't wait to leave this place for good.

Edit: Apart from its "American culture" consisting of taking all the crap and few of the gems.

American culture actually has loads of worthwhile and even great stuff (Afro American culture alone has enough great stuff to rival any other culture to have ever existed, and look how young it is).

The joke ought to be altered to note that Canada did take all the forms of sanctimoniousness offered by each country.

Hey! Canada invented Ice Hockey. That is the greatest gift ever, even more than democracy and sliced bread.
