stevestojan Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/americas/12/...s.ap/index.html To avoid being "harrassed" when traveling, this company suggests dressing like a god-damn Canadian. No offense to Canada, or any Canadians - I love your beer, strippers, beer, and strippers - but seriously? I have ALOT of issues with the politics of this country, but I would NEVER pretend to be from somewhere else. I mean, i think people that go to the middle east for any reason are taking a huge risk, but we're talking about traveling to places like Spain, Germany, France (f-ck France), and just so you don't get harrassed, wearing the flag of a different country? F-ck that!.
dib Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 Damn, what am I supposed to do with my plaid shirt, bib overalls and the hat with the fold down ear flaps? How exactly do Canadians dress anyway?

slothrop Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 ACtually, I backpacked across Europe and Russia and telling people I was Canadian saved my ass many a time. When you have no money and are hithiking it is a great survival skill.

Guest Guest_mike_* Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 It's very common knowledge, many Europeans around the world don't care for Americans - not an insult, it's a fact. I was backpacking around Eastern Europe this past summer and met a few Americans that had Canadian flags stitched to their packs. They said far too many people dislike Americans so the Canadian flag made things like making friends and getting hostel spots much easier.

T-Bone Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 With all due respect T-Bone, does this have anyting to do with this past election? 150319[/snapback] We had an election?
BB27 Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 Yes there was an election.... The majority of Americans voted for George W. Bush. The rest want to move to Canada.

Captain America Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 Do they have a scent that makes you smell French ? Pheeeew
BB27 Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 You mean all the people in the urban areas on Welfare? Those are the states you are talking about. Please oh please go to Canada. Then I could have a Christmas party, my kids could sing Christmas carols, etc. The liberals leaving would be awesome......
nick in* england Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 My Canadian friends are never seen without a Canadian flag on them when they go outside Canada.... But Americans are welcome to come to the UK without getting abuse... And there is no need to look Canadian either... So come on over!

Talonz Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 actually Steve, given that Canada has all that I want from government which I don't get here, I am seriously thinking of trying to get a job up there and becoming Canadian.... 150311[/snapback] Ah yes, nothing like SOCIALISM .... Go here to see how SOME Canadians think : LINK Here is my favorite: "Put Ontario's top 20 corporate monopolies under public, democratic workers' control. Towards socialist economic democracy, with production for need not for greed. " Oh, and don't forget silly little things like : In Canada broadcasters are REQUIRED BY LAW to broadcast a certain % of programs that are 100% Canadian... hmmmmmm.... Oh and all of Canada hates quebec, Quebec hates canada. Sounds like a fun place.. NOT I will stay right here in the best country on earth....
