Does Canada have some kind of equivalent?

Even if the dress sense is not the same, but similar manners/behaviour to our beloved chavs?

dbd33

Yes, wiggers.

I'm guessing that this is a combination of an unmentionable word with a 'w' used to signify white - correct?

But is the inconsiderate behaviour also there - not just the liking for rap/hip-hop, wearing certain styles of 'street' clothing etc. I assume that these are found only in major urban areas too?

They are not specific to Canada. The UK also has them.

We have such vile tasteless beasts here too. They are dumb, loud, brash, mindless, and full of ****wittedness and inconsideration.

Wiggas, wanna-be gangstas and that ilk of putrid humanity.

Yes, but enough about the expat community. What about the Canadians?

dbd33

Indeed. And there are various other overlapping forms of near humanity. In Canada though there's less of a knife culture; because guns are readily available.

You want to talk civility ? Knives aren't even for eating with. They're for killing wild aminals.

I'm sorry, but a Chav is a unique breed to the UK.... every country has other annoying breeds... But the Chav, come on.... The fake nike trainers and Burberry.... and thats just on your baby, you get your own set when you turn 16!

Nowhere else in the world have I seen such an amusing sight!

If you believe the papers there is a lot of knife crime in the Peg (maybe the gang bangers are too poor to buy guns).

The police have a good way to disarm them, kill them.

There as been at least three deaths of knife wielding manics in the last month by the boys in blue in Winnipeg.
