Re: Love Canada, not sure about the people
I couldn't get through that George Jones tune it was awful.
'Figjam', I looked it up....no I'm not like that, I like other peoples opinions.
I feel quite sad now and a bit humiliated. I just like having fun and how I reply is an expression of my personality.
I'm just going back to being an occasional reader. I am sorry for having opinions contrary to the general consensus. I am sorry if my opinions have seemed liked sweeping generalisations.
I know that if we get the true Orwellian socety I'll be one of the first to go, the ministry of truth will see me off probably
Sorry about the grannies.....They really should keep off the internet though, wrapped up in shawls with their knitting is where grannies are happiest.

Re: Love Canada, not sure about the people
Anyway, my opinion {ducking and shaking with fear} is that Canadians for the most part are nice. They don't show their feelings as much as Brits and I often notice, in Ontario particularly, that they often scowl or seem aggressive when they interact with you. However, I have come to realise that this is often a problem of fear and low self esteem with them this exterior often hides a very kind heart.
A lot of them are simple too, liking what I consider very dull. They don't like to debate except the very odd person who is usually out the mainstream.
The way to really get on with a Canadian is to love hockey and know millions of stats about games and players. To think going to Tim Hortens is a rearl treat and Denny's is a gourmet delight. To shop in Walmart with them and marvel at the deals and to own George Jones cd's and love nascar.
There are the intelligensia though and often they are a true delight. I love, love, many Canadians.

Ah, the truth is finally out. You live in a trailer park and are one of them. Now I have a faint understanding of why you make such inane comments.

Re: Love Canada, not sure about the people
Wow where the hell in Canada do you live? I am married to a Canadian and have all his relatives still living in Canada and not a one of them are anything like you describe. Heck I go away on vacations all the time without my husband. Of course, I let him know I am going and where but if he said, no, he best have a damn good reason for saying it.

Re: Love Canada, not sure about the people
My wife is Canadian & regularly comments on Canadians being two faced. Her take on it is that they are culturally encouraged to be mild mannered & so will be uncompromisingly polite to one's face & subsequently vent when one has left. My inlaws are certainly like this in regards to pretty much everyone they meet (& therefore I assume me also)..
