- Thread starter KFD070
- Start date
An Englishman, a Canadian and an American were captured by terrorists.
The terrorist leader said: "Before we shoot you, you will be allowed last words. Please let me know what you wish to talk about."
The Englishman replied: "I wish to speak of loyalty and service to the crown."
The Canadian replied: "Since you are involved in a question of national purpose, national identity, and secession, I wish to talk about the history of constitutional process in Canada, special status, distinct society, uniqueness within diversity, and our chitty green beer."
The American replied: "Just shoot me before the Canadian starts talking."

Anyone ever watch Rick Mercers "Talking to Americans" it was some of the funniest stuff I have ever seen, some of the more classic ones include:
-getting Americans to think Canada is on a 23 hour clock
-all hail the great President Tim Hortons of Canada, Geroge Bush fell for this one before he was president
-asking Americans about the russian invasion of Manitoba
-getting Americans to congradulate us on legalizing VCR's
-getting Americans to sign a petition against leaving our elderly on iceflows
some more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talking_to_Americans
its some funny stuff, but in reality, I find most northern states have a pretty good understanding of Canada overall, its the southern ones you gotta watch, but I dont think some of them can even tie their shoes so what do you expect?
just have fun with it, we have ours up here too!

This is the transcript of an ACTUAL radio

off the coast of
Newfoundland in October 1995.
>>Radio conversation released by the Chief of
Naval Operations 10-10-95.
>>Americans: Please divert your course 15 degrees
to the North
to avoid a collision.
>>Canadians: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15
degrees
to the South to avoid collision.
>>Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy
Ship. I say again,
divert YOUR course.
>>Canadians: No... I say again, you divert YOUR
course.
>>Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS
LINCOLN,
THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES
ATLANTIC FLEET.
WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE
CRUISERS,
AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU
CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH, THAT'S ONE
FIVE
DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER-MEASURES WILL BE

Well the biggest problem here is taxes on beer and gas. I like our beer but it cost 43.00 for 24 Molson Canadian here in alberta and when I was in Clevland at xmas i was buying the same beer (import) for 18.00. I will drink bud if I can't find Molson.
After travelling this world Can, Mex, and the US ALL look a little behind when it comes to tech and transportation compared to Asia i.e.Tokyo and Hong kong. After seeing Detroit and Clevland it was sure nice to come back over to the western side of US/Can. i still like the idea of a new country that goes east to west from Mex to alsaka...someone on here had a map of that once.
As Homer said "alcohol the problem and solution to all of lifes problems"

If you can find them, maybe you can hire.......................
Sorry...I had the map sideways Don't get me wrong, I love Alberta too. As for Rick Mercer, he has some of the funniest Chit I've ever seen. He makes Candaians and Americans both look equally SOFA KING WE TODD DID!
This has turned out to be more of a "sensitive" topic than I anticipated. "Can't we all just get along?".

I heard that you are all married to your sisters in Canada. In fact I heard it was illegal to marry outside of a blood realative. HEHEHEHEHEHE

no way im marrying my sister...she is a poor piece of a$$...now momma and aunty...yum yum
naw your chute climbing countrymen in Revy LOVE that crap we make called Bud Lite Lime. That costs the canucks major beer credit points.
I grew up playing travel hockey and much of it was in Canada. I never realized how much I still say things like "eh" and "bout". So when I moved to northern Utah from Michigan I get a kick out of it when locals kick their head sideways like a puppy dog when I talk like that.
One of the best sledding trips I've had to date started in Wawa, Ontario and did a big loop for about 4 days almost 800 miles getting up to Highway 11 and back.
Bologna on pizza seemed a bit strange to me though!

I think you have us confused with Mississippi on that one.
No crap...so many Canadians say "EH' way too much. However in the US I often hear the use of the word "HUH". As in "you're from Canader HUH"? Also I love the way the Americans pronounce the word "roof". You know, the thing over a house. I noticed most Americans pronounce it "ruuf". Sorta like what a dog would say. That might just be our so called "accent" though.
How do you pronounce "boot" in the US?
