The National Post is having a contest – Canada in six words or less.
There’s a lot to like about our country, but thus far, the vast majority of entries have surprisingly been negative and, often, rather political. Judging by their suggestions, Jeff Spooner and Al Blow think that we’re a mediocre country, and proud of it: The former offered us “Canada: Birthplace of mediocrity” and the latter’s “Canada: Mediocre and reasonably proud of it” was a slightly more ironic variation on the same theme. Ori Rubin, who worked on the motto problem while raking leaves in the backyard with his dad, offered a similarly wry message: “Because the world needs more vanilla.”

A few of 6 worders spring to mind.
“Canada: Hyphenated citizens R Us”, or “Canada: blame us, it’s our fault” or “Canada: Christian-Judeo now, Sharia later”.
Abandon hope all ye who enter here (oops, too long — drop the “ye”). Or has some domain already claimed this one?
I was somewhat disappointed that The Times poll selected “No motto, please, we’re British”, but I guess Dieu et Mon Droit is offensive. Can’t go mentioning God, after all.
Canada. Designed by fools. Run by idiots.
Centrally ruled. Western funded. Wholly unbalanced.
Canada: We’re Not America.
Smug, hypocritical, mediocre and not American

Perhaps it would be more fitting to state this time of year –
Canada – We are just cooling down.
A Blessed Dominion – Liberally pissed away.
