Le Canada n'est pas immortel. S'il doit disparaitre il devrait disparaitre avec un coup d'eclaire qu'avec une petit coup insignifiant. Je vien de reprendre les paroles dur plus grangs politiciens dans l'histoire canadienne Le tres honorable Pierre Elliott Trudeau decede recemment. Que vous disiez ce que vous voudrez au sujet du Canada au fond du coeur de tous Canadien nous savons que nous avons un bon pays. Vous ne devez pas etre bien dans votre peau pour dire c'est choses au sujet de notre nation. Je vais vous dire quelque "slang" dans la langue canadienne francaise: Par toe mayen qua tu t'prends moe j'tai cre pas de ca ses tu dit du Canada. J'ai hate d'voir si tai cpable de dchfre cque dit. t'en toe ben mon homme t pas pres d'avoir l'intelligence t loin d savoir cquer ti dit. Ar Voyure mon homme!!!!!
Try to understand the language of rural canadians.

From: meagan2284@xxxxxx.comYeah. Crazy. Crazy like a FOX, Meagan of the extra "a". Maybe it's to balance out all the extra "u"'s they put in there.

Hello,
I thought that this page was crazy. Your ideas are crazy. And I'm guessing that you are crazy too. But I have to say that all the other Canandians are taking it a little seriously, I almost died I was laughing so hard at some of the things I read on this page!! People like you make the world a little less of a serious place to live! Funny, but still crazy, site.

Your page is awesomely funny, though I'm lazy and only read through bits and pieces I found it quite entertaining. Did you remember to add the fact that we Canadians use you Americans to fight all our battles for us? It works out a lot better for us this way because then we can keep our military budget low and use the money on more important things like beer eh! I mean I'm sure when we finally bring out our state of the art "bi-planes" we'll be a force to be reckoned with. I bet you Americans find it scary that we are able to determine our countries leader in one night. Another point is that in less than 1 year pot, (in theory) will become legal up here, aren't we such a bad influence on you? Anyhoo I guess that's my 2 cents for now, maybe later on ill come up with some new points to throw at you, to try and scare you and your kind. dum dum dummmm.
From: Corey GreenOoh. Really funny, eh! Not as funny as this, though. Please stop writing Craig Shergold while you're at it, 'kay?

I love the page! I think it's hilarious, and that we Canadians are making ourselves look bad. I have a funny transcript for you:
Don't take it personal or maybe you should you?
This is the transcript of an ACTUAL radio conversation of a US naval ship with Canadian authorities 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 a 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 UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.
Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call.
From: Frederick KleinOoooooOOoooOOOh! Sorry Mr. Literary Critic! If Johnathan Swift were such a great fucking satirist, then why didn't he get any email, huh Smart Guy? I fixed the population--whiney canucks. If it's not superman, for god's sake don't undercount their population: the moose might actually relax or something. 'cause you know that 31 is certainly not 18+!

Mr. Bill,
As for your disclaimer taken from your web page: "This is a work of satire, though 31+ million Canadians just don't seem to get it. "
I don't see why I wouldn't get it. I studied satire while majoring in English literature and enjoyed it very much. Jonathan Swift was a great satirist who suffered some persecution from his work, though not as much, perhaps, as Daniel Defoe. Mordecai Richler, the great Canadian writer is a lauded satirist. True, it's not easy to be a satirist.
I think the difference between you and the talented men mentioned above is that their work is actually good. If your work were FUNNY, or in any way endearing, it would be easier for people to laugh. The reason why people don't get your jokes is that you're not funny.
I could discuss with you the differences between Canada and the US endlessly, but I would prefer to do so only in French.
Fred Klein
P.S. The population of Canada is now 31 million. Or did you actually get 18 million complaints?
From: Cathleen HilgenbergThe only thing that makes living here for the next four years is that it's not full of Canadians. That and the younger Bush is obviously going to have a somewhat more liberal drug policy than his old man...

Hi
I recently stumbled upon your anti canadian web site recently. Being a Canadian, I have to say - Don't you have anything useful and constructive to occupy your time with? Really, get a life!Americans are by no means perfect either...take a look at your election for example...while you were busy arguing about the ballots and who's going to be president, we had an election and found out that very nite who our next Prime Minister was. What an embarrassing situation that was although quite amusing to watch from a distance. All I can say is that I am glad I'm not living in the States for the next 4 years.
So without wasting my time trying to sell Canada to you, and my points would be wasted, I just want to say I'm sorry you feel that way about Canada and it's residents. You are truly missing out on a beautiful country!
Sincerely,
Cathleen - a proud Canadian
From: Eric D'AoustYou wondered where all the false information on Canada came from? Right here. Your authentic source--all other false information on Canada is a cheap imiatation!

Subject: Re No Canada
It is very interesting to see that people like you take time to write about Canada. Even though you are not giving the true information you are promoting it. The reason is simple:
1.You write all false information on canada
2. A person logs on to your web site
3. He reads all the posts amd information
4 He says to himself is it true
5. He goes and checks out on other webs sites
6. He finds out that it isn't
7. He writes to you
8. You post is message
9. The cycle continues.
And each time people finds out something knew about our beatiful country.
Sincerely,
Éric J.C. D'Aoust
From: Michael RioloI certainly hope you count yourself amongst those rednecks Mr. "Hey Fag" Riolo. Why don't you go beat up one of your countrymen and leave him on a fence for dead or something, okay Mr. Compassion? Mr. Homophobe? Thanks.

Hey Fag,
I found your website quite amusing, another attempt by a looser american to trash Canada. See, the word american does not deserve to be capitalized cause you are all just pieces of shit anyways. I live 20 min from the U.S., and i pitty you people that live in that giant ghetto you like to call america. We are pretty much the same as you and thats unfortunate when i have to travel overseas because i get yelled at by the foreigners because you people are hated all over the world, and they cant tell the difference between Canadians and americans. It truly makes me sad that we have to deal with the backlash of your countrys screw ups. But hey what can ya do when ya have to deal with a bunch of rednecks anyways. We have lots of rednecks to, but thank god not as many as you do. I look forward to your reply. Have a nice day.
From: Erik ONeillBlah blah blah. Yeah. Lebatts really is the shit. You know, you may have kicked our ass like 200 years ago, but when was the last Stanley Cup you guys won? Eh? Thaaaaats what I thought. Go get jiggy with your tocque and have a nice day.

i would just like to say that i have no problems with americans, just so long as they stay in the states. everything we do is just so much better, in 1812 we kicked the shit out of your army and took our land, our beer is 50 times stronger than yours, i don't think there's one sport you guys can play better than anyone else, you have guns and bombs and basically when you look at that, that's why no country in the world respects americans, thanks and have a lousy day.
A True Canadian.

Subject: A Canadian that loves your site...
Apparently the term "satyr" eludes some of my fellow Canadians. I love your site. I read the whole thing from beginning to end. I laughed my ass off. The author(s) of this site have a wonderfully broad knowledge of Canada, it's people and politics. I applaud that and encourage you to keep up the good work.
It is so easy on the net to light a fire under one of those "My country is better than yours" immature little verbal slugfests. Just say "Canada Rules!" in an IRC chat and watch the sparks fly. It's a free evening of entertainment as the most ignorant on both sides duke it out, further proving that neither country is better. Simply feeling you are lucky to be living where you are is all you need. Think of all the other countries with war, famine, disease, overpopulation at dangerous levels. We, Canadians and Americans, are so very lucky to be where we are and forget that too easily.
Kudos to the authors of this site. Thank you for your humour and views.
