What do you think of Canada? I'm just curious, because some Americans still think it snows here all year round.

It seems nice. I've been there a few times.

I'm sure some folks don't know squat, but I also wouldn't take nationalistic flack online too seriously.

I imagine it to be very wild, untamed and beautiful...except in the cities, of course.

I like it. I've been a couple times and liked it. Plus they made hockey so I love Canada for that. However, it just seems like Toronto and thats it.

oh I don't, it just boggles my mind that people who live in the states (even New York, same weather) think that it always snows here...

I think it snows there year round.:| Actually I've been as far as Toronto. Not that much different, culture wise, than the US. But more expensive.

[QUOTE="FragStains"]I think of 5 things: Cold Milk in bags I hate Montreal Arrogance Vancouver

XD Milk in bags. True though, we do have that. It is cold. Montreal isn't so bad, but its roads and highways connected to the greater Montreal area are widely maligned. I'd like to think we're not arrogant for the most part, outside of regarding hockey. Vancouver...only been there once. Seemed ok.

I've only been there twice... First time was Montreal, we got lost and were helped by probably the nicest man I've ever met in my life, so big points there for Canada... Second time was Alberta, crossing over from Montana (we were hiking around Glacier National Park in the US & Waterton Lakes National Park in Canada)... and it was beautiful, so more points there! I like Canada, from what I've seen.

No offense, but in America, many of us think you guys are wussies, and liberals. But we would like more of our liberals to move to your country.

I've heard great things of Canada compared to the usual things you hear from America, which is why I am very suspicious of it consider both share the same piece of land.

On the converse, when I lived in Cornwall, Ontario, people didn't believe me when I told them that most people from my native Tennessee aren't hillbillies.

But as far as my experience of Canada: Rednecks, loyalist and wannabe-Frenchmen. Of course, I didn't much leave the Ottawa Valley but there you go.

It's fine by me. I've only been to Manitoba, though, but I really liked it there. I don't think I'd ever move to Canada, but I don't have anything against it either. I wouldn't mind seeing more of it, actually.

I can understand people thinking that it snows all the time. :P I live in North Dakota, so I'm pretty used to jokes and ignorance.

Most people I know forget that Canada exist. No one really knows what Canada is, people think that Canada isnt really a country and that its un-populated. I have never heard anything about Canada. Iike world history and learning about other countries and cultures, but I know nothing about Canada. Canada just seems boring and uninteresting. Oh wait! Like a week ago I learned that Canada has an army, who know?

I'll admit, we do have difficulty there. It's best when high pressure movements come through because the snow really mangles our connection quality. However, we never have to worry about our computers overheating. If it's getting too toasty that it's melting the igloo, we just take out a brick and let the chilly -40C winds in to bring it back to a reasonable temperature.

I think this thread shows the truth: Both countries have a wide variety of people. Some people in the states love Canada, some think its a pansy, and some don't care. The same is actually here, although most people ignorantly think Canada is "better".

We invented a lot of things up here! Like air-conditioned trains, to better simulate our frosty-cold temperatures here, eh? We also invented the electric car, I believe. Mostly because those gas-fueled engines melt our igloo garages, which takes a while to build back up. Also, the snowplow, snowmobile, snowblower, and Insulin, eh? Now you know! :D

Something a lot of people don't realize, stuff in the US is dirt cheap compared to stuff in Canada, when I lived in BC close to the border we'd go right past a Costco and into Washington for about half an hour and shop at some supermarket there, saved hundreds of dollars on groceries a year (That's including the gas it took to drive there)

This thread reminded me of that article

http://www.cracked.com/blog/15-reasons-canada-is-better-than-your-country/

"The Canadian accent is actually much milder than most Americans imagine, and many Canadians live and work amongst Americans undetected, constantly gathering hair samples"

Priceless :P
