Does Canada suc up the brits or the french?

[Thoth]

Quiet Thoth. It's in our interests to see Ben get his coveted US citizenship.

True, but he'd have to resign his membership in the Taliban first, and that doesn't seem likely to happen in the near future.

[Thoth]

Why should I celebrate Trudeau's holiday?

If they called it Dominion day, I'd be proud to go out and celebrate. But sadly, that name wasn't good enough for Mr. Trudeau.

Papa Benedict = the Taliban?

I'm puzzled by your comment Thoth.

9. When you're walking by the Notre Dame Cathedral, you realize that it's an exact copy of the one in Paris and figure out that your country has nothing original.
10. You become very jealous of America because America is so much richer, better, and more powerful than Canada.

A Texan, a Canadian, and a guy from Michigan are out riding horses. The Texan pulls out an expensive bottle of whiskey, takes a shot, then another, and suddenly throws the bottle in the air, pulls out his gun and shoots the bottle in mid-air. The Canadian looks at him and says, "What are you doing?! That was a perfectly good bottle of whiskey!". The Texan says, "In Texas, there's plenty of whiskey and bottles are cheap."
A while later, not wanting to be outdone, the Canadian pulls out a bottle of champagne, takes a few sips, throws the bottle in the air, pulls out his gun and shoots it. The guy from Michigan can't believe this and says, "What did you do that for? That was an expensive bottle of Champagne!". The Canadian says, "In Canada there's plenty of champagne and bottles are cheap."
So, a while later the guy from Michigan pulls out a bottle of beer. He opens it, takes a sip, takes another sip, and then chugs the rest. He then puts the bottle back in his saddlebag, pulls out his gun, turns around, and shoots the Canadian.
The Texan, shocked, says, "Why did you do that?" The guy from Michigan says, "Well, in Michigan, we have plenty of Canadians, but bottles are worth a dime."

The thistle, shamrock, rose entwined"

...always thought the 'shamrock' was more 'chained by cruel fate' than 'entwined in love'....

The Dominion lost against the Federation + Klingons + Romulans

Any Canadian reading that can tell instantly it was written by an American.

Do you know why Doc?

[Dinner]

I'd guess #7 is a dead give away.

Not without a fight you don't.

[Grandpa Troll]

Not without a fight you don't.

Isn't it odd that the strangest Canadian at Poly wants desperately to be an American?



And in answer to my question - Two reasons:

1) It isn't really funny
2) Displays a complete lack of knowledge of things non-American (yes #7 being the giveaway)

[Ben Kenobi]

Isn't it odd that the strangest Canadian at Poly wants desperately to be an American?

Isn't it odd that in such a haven of patriotic Canadians, I was the one to start the thread?

Far as I can see, the only difference between me and you is that I love America rather then Europe.

You don't see Americans changing the name of their day to "USA Day", in order to appease minorities who have no understanding of Canadian history and culture.

If I'm strange by Poly standards, rest assured Poly is strange out where I am from...

[Wezil]

You're so cute.

Yes, you started the thread and called it Dominion Day.

Of course that bastard Trudeau is the first thing that comes to mind with the mention of Canada Day.
