Posted by: Kate at March 8, 2009 7:56 PMDid Canada really never have a Disco phase? If only we hadn't invented Celine Dion and squandered all that good karma.
Posted by: Black Mamba at March 8, 2009 9:34 PMwhat a kerfuffle to think that Canaduh represents some sort of success.
even Taliban Jack Layton thinks there are things wrong , without thinking he might be the cause.
Remember Taliban Jack and Igmcmuffin-----
if you are not part of the solution , you are part of the cause.
Posted by: cal2 at March 8, 2009 9:36 PMI’m glad they didn’t mention that we also like to call Islamic terrorists “citizen sons” or that we allow Hamas to protest openly in our streets unopposed by police.
We completely censor discussions of ethnic violence or crime including illegal immigration for fear of prosecution in Kangaroo courts, while ethnic gang violence terrorizes cities such as Vancouver with emphasis on Indo gang murders.
Decriminalization of Marijuana in Canada is an urban myth, and indeed has sparked an overwhelming violent industry for Vietnamese gangs in BC who control 90% of its distribution.
I’m not too sure about the gay marriage thing and couldn’t be bothered to Google and find out, but I will say that polygamy in white society is strictly outlawed but in Muslim Canadian society it is not only sanctioned but it can reap much higher welfare benefits for the practitioners.
At least the report was accurate with the fact that we do have many varieties of donuts.
in BC , the land of bilk and scummy.
- open government approved injection sites for illegal drugs.
-polygamy openly practiced in Bountiful for 20 years.
-gay marriage
-homeless people on every corner
-105% of the land claimed by aboriginals.
CANADUH in full glory.
Posted by: cal2 at March 8, 2009 9:53 PM10. We build GM's Fords and Chryslers, but when you are doing 50 you are going really slow.
9. We put boiled down tree sap on our pancakes.
8. We call fries chips like the English and what the English call crisps we also call chips and nobody gets confused.
7. You don't have to be born in Canada to be the leader of the country.... Oh wait you might have done that too.
6. We gave you Alex Trebek and refuse to take him back.
5. When Global warming finally hits, a whopping 10% of our land mass will be livable.
4. We have French speaking Quebecers that the French can't understand and English speaking Newfoundlanders that nobody can understand.
3. Your country goes from sea to sea. Ours goes from sea to sea to sea and in the south something we like to call no mans land.
2. You can't blame us we didn't vote in Obama.

Never had a disco phase ? - s'cuse me, we did, I was there. Donna Summer, an ueber babe...Wish I was there now - but without the wide lapels.
Posted by: Agent Smith at March 8, 2009 11:32 PMWe had a disco phase, but in western Canada it didn't start until 1985.
We taught Frenchmen how to play hockey, sort of like the British taught Americans how to box.
Posted by: dp at March 9, 2009 12:29 AMThanks for the post - need a bit of humor these days. "Large" has some nice additions to the list. For those of you too young to remember, I recommend the John Candy film, "Canadian Bacon" circa 1995. It was a hoot and a great tongue in cheek satire on our relationship with the Americans. However, I note with regret that it was produced and directed by Michael Moore. Set aside your prejudices about Mr. Moore and enjoy the movie!
Posted by: fernstalbert at March 9, 2009 12:57 AMName one Canadian disco band.
I'm at a loss.
LMAO at Larg's comment! :-)
Gotta admit-just like you can't have a decent baseball team without some Puerto Ricans, you can't have a decent hockey team without some Canucks. C'est la vie, or c'est le hockey. Vraiment! :-)
