Canadians eh

It's no secret that the U.S. have received a fair amount of their cultural education about Canada from the once popular SNL characters Bob n' Doug or more so the movie "Strange Brew". You think we Canucks all love beer and say "eh" and "hoser" and wear toques. Not so flattering, but then again, not so far from the truth...



But, did you know...

That us Canucks have learned most of our U.S. cultural knowledge from the character known as Cleteus the slack-jawed yokel of the Simpsons? We think you love light beer, guns, n git'n it on wit yer sisturzzz. I've never been to the U.S (mostly I fear getting shot) so I can't say if it's that far from the truth or not.

So can you let us know if we're bang on or just stereotyping?



For those who don't know me, this is poking fun, definitely not serious so don't be hatin'.

p.s. I'm sexually attracted to Cleteus.

Re: Canadians eh

Some folks will never lose a toe, but then again, some folk'll, like Cletus the Slack-Jawed yokel!!

Re: Canadians eh

I thought Canada was Americas hat.

My brother in-law is a CBP agent in Montreal (ATM) and he writes...
....Can someone please explain to me in just what capacity is the french language "beautiful" or "romantic"?? I live in a city where french is spoken almost exclusively, and to me, hearing the quebecois speak french, it sounds like a retard ****ing a duck...

I really like Canada, you invented the Trailer Park Boys http://www.trailerparkboys.com/

French is a lovely language when spoken properly, like they do in France or Quebec... Montreal has a dialect, it's like the New Jersey of Canada.

Re: Canadians eh

Quebec French and European French are like day and night. The former is rough, straight and to the point. The latter is more delicate and linguistically correct.

The analogy is very similar to comparing between American English and British English.

HEY stop making fun of my New Jersey. Just because 80% of the people (not me) say wuhderr ...

Make fun of West Virginia if you want to make fun of slaughtered English.
