Well I always hear people making fun of Canada.
No one seems to like Canada, this one time a woman won a trip to Canada on wheel of fortune and she looked very disappointed.
So I really started to think maybe the only reason people seem to like Canada is because they think we are a joke, so they don't hate us, they just make fun of us and think we are the most pointless country.

Do you think the reasons terrorists don't attack Canada is because they think it's pointless to attack us?

So do people really like Canada, or do they just not care about it??
What do you people think??
I really love living in Canada, I just want to know what everyone else things.

I always thought it was because they haven't been in a major war in the past decade or so.

That and they don't own nukes. Well.. not that I know of.

But I think it's cool, though. I respect Canada and its people 100% :]

As Rick Mercer showed us... there is a reason why so many Americans have preconceived misconceptions about Canada.

Terrorists attack are usually revolution, since Canada is full of freedom it is pointless to attack it.

A more important question is 'why are you getting offended over something so little?'. If you could've won a vacation to anywhere in the world but you got a trip to America I bet you'd be disappointed. It's no different than what happened on wheel of fortune. Playing a victim card doesn't work in a situation like this.

As much as I love Canada and love living here and being Canadian, even Canadians treat Canada as a joke. For god's sake we had Royal Canadian Air Farce and Rick Mercer host our Election coverage.

Everyone thinks Canada is a joke, but that's the whole point - we're too laid back to really care what other people think. I mean, go up to someone in the US and say their country sucks and they'll probably punch you in the face. If they did the same to you you'd just pull out a joint, pop open a beer, and laugh at them.

Join their army then get back to me. I'm Canadian and I can understand how people can think that, but it doesn't bother me. A little off-topic but does anyone know the name of the German general (I think he was German) who said the best army would have been fought by Canadians, equipped with American armament, and commanded by German officers? It will help me out next week at school.

Ah, but the last laugh is had by us Canadians, because American's are so gullible when it comes to facts about our great nation. BTW, this is a true fact, not a trick. The city of Vancouver, the third largest city in Canada has the second highest population density in all of North America, topped only by Manhattan. I just think it's a really cool fact.

to be fair, our last election was a joke, which was a huge waste of 300 million dollars and unwanted by the people.

Does it really matter, Im living in peace here in Canada so it doesnt matter to me.Mkavanaugh77

Yeah but living in peace isn't fun.

Maybe people will stop thinking Canada is a joke if we take over another country.
I am not recommending we do but it would get us more respect.

We can either take over the US (not likely) or go get in a fight with some Inuit.

Yes, it's a native word that the First Nations peoples gave to us. If I'm not mistaken, America comes from the Italian mapmaker Amerigo Vespucci from the seventeenth century?

Canada is not respected at all, we are made fun of and joked about.

You don't always hear lots of other making fun of Americans, cause they fear them.
Like if Russia attacked Canada they wouldn't be scared, but they would be scared if they were in a war with America.

That and they don't own nukes. Well.. not that I know of.

But I think it's cool, though. I respect Canada and its people 100% :]
