Canadians, eh?

by **Maaselene** » Sun Apr 10, 2011 10:15 am

what do you think of us? I've always wondered what non-Canadians think of us. Be blunt.
Trying to think of us from an outside point of view, I really think we come across as a bunch of people stuck back in time who have beavers for pets, live in igloos, and ride polar bears to school and work. I just want everyone elses opinions.

I don't particularly think anything about Canadians.

All the Canadians I've met (about 5) were really cool and laid back people. I also understood that they're the Danish of America

You're like us Britons, but on the other side of the Atlantic- unless you're Québécois, in which case you're transatlantic Frenchmen.

I ride a polar bear to work.

Canada is cold, pretty, and mostly empty. Canadians are friendly hockey players (based on the stereotypes found in "How I met your mother", since I don't know any actual Canadians and have never been to Canada), and they are generally more reasonable than Americans.

They are America's northernly brothers.

Well last year I actually traded one of my polar bears in for a snowmobile, it was on for a two beaver-pelt discount too, great deal eh.

As a Canadian myself, I can safely say this is one of the worst places in the world to live. Also, Heil Harper.

You guys are America's hat.

And we like our hat.

Canadians are cool, I guess. Except the ones from Quebec, of course

I think most american have a positive view of Canada.

The only bad thing I can think of is that the only Canadian role models I can think of at the moment are hockey players.
Wayne Gretzky & Guy Lafleur

Canadians are beer-swilling, hockey nuts.

Yeah, this pretty much sums it up.

Also, they have more hot chicks per capita than the US.

Canadians are awesome. I've taught myself how to speak with a canadian english dialect a while back, simply because I like Canada.

by **Ausenreich** » Sun Apr 10, 2011 10:44 am

They're America's hat...

and no one seems to hate them.

Eh.

You're good English speaking people, although Dutchmen generally speaking don't have a stereotype for them... That's maybe because you guys kind of stand in the shadow of America.

Myself? I find Canedian's cool. Canedian accent is even cooler. Almost as good as the Scottish accent.

And besides, I like the Arrogant Worms.

......Canadian English dialect.....its like exactly the same as a speaking to a person from the US, except for words like Eh and such

except for the Newfies, they.....they are pretty special

Canada is America's hat. Most Americans have a very positive view of Canada. We love to talk about "Canadian Bacon" and use your accents XP Although yes, we do enjoy making ethnic jokes about other nationalites ^_^
