Re: This is why Canada > America

So why does the media exist in Canada then?

Just sayin' you have to keep things consistent.

I'm betting he is, otherwise why would he mention this law as the reason when it's obvious the real reasons why Canada > US are

Canadian regulators announced last week they would reject efforts by Canada’s right-wing Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, to repeal a law that forbids lying on broadcast news.

FUCKING HARPER! @_@ Too bad Layton died, he would have made a good PM. I generally vote Liberal, but McGuinty just wasn't doing it for me... hopefully they get Bob Rae to take over and have a run if it next time and kick the damn PCs out at last. Harper = mini- G.W. in so many ways...

EDIT: Also we live longer, have generally smarter people, don't go broke from medical bills, the list goes on...

Oh yah, and we've kicked your ass in every war we've fought with each other.

Canadians also like to make asses of themselves on the internet.

You also seem to have developed an inferiority complex or never learned the meaning of humility. Since it's generally Americans that have a deficient educational system I'm gonna go with the former.

To be fair, it's only Mal. Other Canadians I have online contact with are way less colourful.


But then, we are refugees in this community for a reason.

Re: This is why Canada > America

What inferiority complex?

I'm just giving back a taste of 'yer own medicine The whole notion of "American Exceptionalism" is dragging down the country. That's not to say Americans don't have plenty to be proud of, just that you're not inherently the best at everything just because you're freaking America. It's that arrogance that pisses off the rest of the world so much... I think it was George Carlin who joked (and I'm paraphrasing here, sorry) "If you went to work with a guy who ran around every day screaming "I'm the best fucker here!" that prick would be dead by the 3rd day." or something like that.

And quite frankly, it's also true of Canadians - There's almost a cultural inferiority complex in Canada, that we have to put down the Yanks as part of being a Canadian - Like we're somehow better just because. I mean, if we're so different, so much better than the Americans, then why the crap are there so many cheap knockoffs of American TV programs like Canadian Idol >_>

Most Canadians are just jealous of the U.S. but are too proud/stubborn to admit it even to themselves. It's nice having parents (and thus family) from both countries, it gives a better perspective.

One tends to feed the other.

Shut up Mal.

Re: This is why Canada > America

Whose medicine, Mal? When was the last time any American around here was chest thumping in your face about how much better our country is rather than lamenting how in the shitter it is? Meanwhile, there's someone around here who at the slightest excuse drags out all Canada's credits and statistics like he gets to take personal credit or something.

Remember that Mitchell and Webb skit about sports fans? That, about this.
