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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago
Hardly any maple syrup outside of quebec. One of the few things that keep me here.
Kaput@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Dont have muCh of a choice if you want to mention Maple syrup.
owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago
Its talking about weed
crazycraw@crazypeople.online 3 weeks ago
no mention of poutine
Grass@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
the real drug
Kaput@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Poutine is Québécoise.
JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago
Gotta keep that sweet sweet maple for domestic use.
Soulphite@reddthat.com 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago
🤔… Fairly accurate.
smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Don’t listen to Kate, she’s a marijuana extremist and is wanted for crimes against maple syrup.
shittydwarf@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
That aboot covers it
melsaskca@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
She should have a prosthetic arm to represent Canada’s contribution to space(orbit) exploration. /s
PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
Prosthetic leg. C’mon, it’s right there!
sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago
Unbelievably based
bitjunkie@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Pretty accurate tbh
Kaput@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Oui, bien-sûr.
Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
Yup. That all checks out.
floralmortal@lemmy.ca 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago
I dunno’, I hear disturbing news from Alberta sometimes, and that whole trucker protest thing was pretty American…

Inshallah America will be Canada

You also cheat at curling, don’t forget that one!

Please, Canada has apologized for Brian Adams several times…

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.
