What’s with Canadians and thinking that they’re better than Americans? I don’t really understand that at all. It doesn’t even make sense. I’m willing to bet though, if you ran a Canada wide poll of Canadians at least 65% would say Canadians are better than Americans. Newsflash! Canadians suck too, we’re just more polite about it.The proof? Why, it’s in the pudding. There are several things that make Canadians feel like they’re cooler than Americans, allow me to dispute them:
1) Americans know nothing about Canada.
True. But why would they? Are they taught it in school? Not really. Is Canada a world super power? Not so much. If someone ever says this to you come back at them with “What’s the capital of Delaware? Where on the map is Maryland? List 30 of the 50 American states? ” I guarantee not many Canadians can answer any of those, let alone all three. But wait! Are we taught that in school? Yes. Is the USA a world super power? The superest. So couldn’t you draw the conclusion that perhaps Canadians are the ignorant ones when it comes to geography every bit as much as Americans, if not more?
2) Americans are rude.
True. So are Canadians. I know lot’s of dickheads right here in Canada. As a whole I doubt there’s really all that much difference, Canada just has less bad blood with other countries so we’re seen as being nicer. I’ve talked (read: played Halo 2) with a lot of southerners and they’re like the more polite people ever, and that’s while playing a game where the goal is to kill and humiliate.
3) The American president stole the election!
The Canadian Prime Minister stole a whack load of cash, his excuse was “hey, I can’t be held accountable for the programs that I approve and control” and we re-elected them. At least W. had to steal the election, we just gave it to the Liberals because we’re afraid of change.
4) America is crime ridden.
I have to give you that one. There is inexplicably more crime in the US than Canada. Detroit and Toronto are just across the pond from one another, but for some reason Canadians don’t commit as much crime. Possibly it’s because our beer has too much alcohol and when we drink we’re generally too drunk to commit a violent crime.
There are lot’s of other reasons why Canadian feel cooler than Americans, please feel free to post in my comments section a reason you feel being Canadian makes you cool, or vice versa, and I’ll be more than happy to debuke your claim.
