A sub-country?

[Zeno]

Canada! AAh - even the name is dull. Most of the following thoughts on Canada are gleaned from a book called 'The Traveling Curmudgeon' compiled and edited by Jon Winokur. Enjoy!


Canada is the vichyssoise of nations: Cold, half-French, and difficult to stir. - Stuart Keate


The symbol of contemporary Canada is the beaver, that industrious rodent whose destiny it was to furnish hats that warmed better brains than his own. - Roy Daniells


A few acres of snow. - voltaire


Canada is a country whose main exports are hockey players and cold fronts. Our main imports are baseball players and acid rain. - Pierre Trudeau


Canada is a country so square that even the female impersonators are women. - Richard Brenner


Canada is the only country in the world that knows how to live without an identity. - Marshall McLuhan


When I was there I found their jokes like their roads - very long and not very good, leading to a little tin point of a spire which has been remorselessly obvious for miles without seeming to get any nearer. - Samuel Butler


American's attic. - Patrick Anderson


For some reason, a glaze passes over people's faces when you say Canada. - Sondra Gotlieb


If the U.S. invaded Mexico there would be an uproar, if the U.S. invaded Canada no one would know or care, least of all, the Canadians. -Zeno


I really like that last one. /images/graemlins/grin.gif


Which is more uninteresting - Canada or Rhode Island? Or is the question not worth asking?

Canada! AAh - even the name is dull.

Didn't the name Canada come from the reply of a Spanish explorer to the question of what he had found? His answer was "Aca nada" - nothing here.

Maybe thats why they hate us so much. I swear canadians care more about American politics than Americans do.
They also seem to care more about American politics than Canadian as well.

They are desperately searching for one though, and something other than being a lackey of Britain. They always flaunt their culture and values, but you can really only talk about Hockey for so long.

Our beavers are better too, they build the biggest most bad ass beaver dams in North America. Our other beavers are better too /images/graemlins/grin.gif.
