…And cheat at curling
We wasn’t exactly as nice about it as I was lead to believe a Canadian would be.
I’m just gonna go make some popcorn while I wait for the random Swede or Canadian to wander into this thread.
Hello, random Canadian curler here
I mean sounds about right. They forgot square faces and mouths tho
Hello, Kate Wood here.
how fast can you run?
At least 4 knots. Maybe 5 idk.
I used to have British made English textbooks, it had British stereotypes, minus the bombs for the Irish, and otherwise the more endearing ones.
I am from BC. Sure not every Canadian is like that but this person totally exists.
I wonder if it has anything to do with lack of enforcement making weed effectively decriminalized long before the official legalization went through. Official legalization was more of a “government and their buddies want in on the lucrative market”, ignoring that weed was only as expensive as saffron because of the legal risk (or illusion of one) that went along with trading it.
Saffron is expensive because each plant grows 1-4 flowers, and each flower has two yellow and two red stigmata, and saffron is the two red ones. A whole acre of it will yield less than a kilo IIRC.
Weed, on the other hand, is aptly named because it is happy growing pretty much anywhere from swamps to dessert mountains. Only real complication with it is the whole determining the sex of the plant ASAP to remove/separate the males before they pollinate the females and then watch for hermaphrodites. Though, even then, it only affects the quality of the final product, as fertalized females still produce bud, it just has seeds in it (at a surprisingly high density if you’ve never gotten seedy bud before) and doesn’t mature the same. Still works fine for extracts.
If done properly, you can get the whole yield of an acre of saffron from a single weed plant.
I spent a season in Whistler 20 years ago, and even though Whistler is “Disney Mountain” I managed to get to know some local residents through Japanese home stay students. Weed was everywhere, granted season skiers and and snowboarders are perhaps not a random selection of the population in that regard.
I remain unconvinced.
Why do they portray Canadians like Pokemon characters
So quite similar to N. Korea 🤔
Mid Europe here, same currently.
Sadly, there is a need to say they are not 'murica now, can’t stay so much kind and polite anymore. Understandable but sad.

During my study abroad in japan we visited an elementary school as a cultural exchange. The class that day had to pick a country and list three things about it. A bunch of them picked america and the three most common things were McDonalds / hamburgers, pancakes and Disney.
I would’ve thought corruption, racism and being fat.
Corruption and racism aren’t really unique to America though. If you look at current Japanese politics you’ll see they can be just as racist and corrupt as the US.
Corruption goes with Disney, fat goes with McDonalds, and racism… goes with everything.
Pancakes are fine tho
You may be tempted to think that the syrup thing is because of the bud, but actually she took up bud to stop getting so many questions about it.
I mean, if she pours it on everything…
she even got the syrup OG kush to close the circle
What’s that look on her face… aggressively horny? Is this normally how Canadian ladies get while smoking BC buds??
That’s the reefer madness. East Asia takes a very hard line against drugs. As late as the 70s people in Japan would get 30 years in prison for possession of marijuana. Dealing drugs is often the death penalty across the region.
Nah, that’s the maple. We get crazy with the sticky tree blood in us.
That’s just like, Victoria. It’s a pretty dope city.
If you’re gonna sum up an entire culture in a handful of words, well, they could have done worse.
They coulda put “aboot” in there
Now now, there’s no need to stick aboot in!
i don’t see any Canadians disagreeing
I’m from Canada.
It’s not America.
As a Canadian this is the realist thing ever. Half our identity is being not-American.
25 years ago this was a bit silly, but these days it’s like saying: “Look, I’m not on the Epstein List!”
But Canada is in America
Continents aren’t real.
Which continent is Russia in? Is Costa Rica in the same continent as Mexico or are they in different continents? Is “Central America” a continent?
It’s all made up bullshit, so why not just say Canada is it’s own continent?
The only purpose of Central America is to not have Mexicans on the same continent as US people.
I fully agree with you, but add the additional point that countries are fictions as well.
While we’re on the topic, borders are very fictitious.
Countries have leaders, cultures, and history. They’re at least as real is this web forum we’re communicating on is.
I’ll give you this; historically, they’re at least as real as the concept of whiteness.
Ya, and Europe is not a continent. What a super intelligent position to take.
There is no “America” by your definition. There are 800 million people in “the Americas”. Half of them refer to their county as simply “America”. Like 500 times a day. At least 100 million of the rest also use this label for the USA as does a big chunk of the world. When Churchill said, “You can always count of the Americans to do the right thing but too late”, was he talking about Chile or Canada?
I would say the “United States” but then some moron will point out that this could mean the United States of Mexico as if just saying “United States” or “America” is confusing anybody. Does the US National Guard protect Mexico? Cuba or Belize? The US Marines?
Do you think “America, fuck ya” is something people from Kentucky say to celebrate Honduras? Do you think “America the beautiful” is a song about Peru? Do you think the “American National Anthem” is pro Mexico?
Do you think “American football” is what they play in Brazil? Because they sure don’t play it in Canada.
And the 7,000,000,000,000 YouTube videos about “the American President”, who elected him?
It is hard for me to believe that somebody thought this would seem like a smart thing to say.
USians are so poor, they can’t even get a name of its own for their country.
Calm down lmao
I run into people all the time who use the term “America” without at all meaning that country wedged between Mexico and Canada. Los Estados Unidos is often how you’ll hear the nation state referred to in Latin America, whereas “America” usually refers to the entire hemisphere.
It always blew my mind that the USA colonized the word America to have it refer only to themselves. How fucking on-brand is that?
Sorry, but I don’t see her saying sorry!
Yeah, some of the key Canadian words are missing, eh?
Yeah, that hoser needs to take off
Sörry
Thdy must have vastly different smoking laws in Japan. We can’t smoke within 4m of entrances (legally), let alone indoors.
We aren’t - this is spot on
I’m American. That’s how we view you guys as well.
Good.
The biggest insult a Canadian could ever hear is being called ‘American’.
Shit as an American the biggest insult I could ever hear is being called an American. That isn’t the flex you think it is
