There is nothing more canadian than being smug about not being american.
Is this accurate, Canadians?

As an American, this is totally fair.

I am so sorry for your disease. Get better soon.

We don’t put maple leaves on our stuff anymore because when we travel we end up getting confused with Americans trying to pretend they’re not Americans by putting maple leaves on their shit.
MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca 2 months ago
Decades ago I was a young backpacker and saw other folks with the maple leaf on their stuff. Went to chat and they admitted they were Americans who had sewn it on so people would be nice to them.
I was simultaneously annoyed at them (I’d have been pissed but they did buy me an apology pint) and proud of Canada for the reputation.

We don’t have to put a patch on our bags, people can tell because we are not loud and obnoxious.

There are apparently T-shirts which read “don’t shoot, I’m Canadian” in a number of languages (Arabic, Russian and Spanish, I think)

I’ve seen a snowbird with a thin blue line Canadian flag sticker on their truck…. And salt life. Lol.
So… maybe some of those are actually Canadians….
xeekei@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
How would a “blue line Canadian flag” work? Where do they put the blue line?

The evil, slightly manic expression on Kate’s face was what gave it away for me.
Kaput@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Modtly accurate, Yes. I son pour Maple syrup on everyrthing. Exception thé bud export is hard to quanrify, and i have a fleur de lys on my bag.

…I’m not sure Quebec counts 🤔
SorryQuick@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Hardly any maple syrup outside of quebec. One of the few things that keep me here.
Kaput@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Dont have muCh of a choice if you want to mention Maple syrup.
owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Try not to judge us too hard for this. We kicked Kate out for a reason (lighting up a fat joint in an elementary school classroom isn’t cool here). She’s got the rest right on, though.
emeralddawn45@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
Yeah, the teachers always made sure to put out the joints before going back to class at my school. I still say that telling all the students there was a pet skunk in the teachers lounge that we weren’t allowed to see was cruel and unnecessary though.

“BC bud”, is that how Canadians call their friend from British Columbia?
Kurtagag@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Its talking about weed
crazycraw@crazypeople.online 2 months ago
no mention of poutine
Grass@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
the real drug
Kaput@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Poutine is Québécoise.
JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
Now I’m craving some maple syrup poutine.

One day I will find out if all of this is true.
The part about it not being America is true for now…

Canada exports weed?
postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Gotta keep that sweet sweet maple for domestic use.
Soulphite@reddthat.com 2 months ago
This is pretty offensive to America’s hat, and almost their 51st state before the orange turd decided to start bullying Greenland. I recommend you apologize now, eh.
mechoman444@lemmy.world 2 months ago
🤔… Fairly accurate.
smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Don’t listen to Kate, she’s a marijuana extremist and is wanted for crimes against maple syrup.
shittydwarf@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
That aboot covers it
melsaskca@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
She should have a prosthetic arm to represent Canada’s contribution to space(orbit) exploration. /s
PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Prosthetic leg. C’mon, it’s right there!

bitjunkie@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Pretty accurate tbh
Kaput@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Oui, bien-sûr.
Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Yup. That all checks out.
floralmortal@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
As a Canadian, personally, I think English cream tastes much better than syrup. I tried English cream once and I gotta make some myself because it’s to die for
AlexLost@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yes, we do have names like “Kate Wood” and BC bud is the shit. Maple syrup is more of an east coast thing, but we do enjoy it on our breakfast foods out west, and you can find maple flavoured anything at the store. We are definitely not America and never will be.

In fact, could you do the opposite and annex Minnesota? Please?
NotSteve_@piefed.ca 2 months ago
Nah, you guys should form your own country though. We’d prefer to not adopt your MAGAs and even your left wing is concerning
Agrivar@lemmy.world 2 months ago
All of the north-eastern states would also like to be considered for annexation - even New Hampshire seems to be catching on.
LurkingLuddite@piefed.social 2 months ago
I dunno’, I hear disturbing news from Alberta sometimes, and that whole trucker protest thing was pretty American…

I don’t eat that fake maple syrup. I can’t tolerate the taste. But I need to stock up on some ketchup chips at some point.
