If you eliminate politicians you would find it hard to find hated people in ANY country. Which ought to tell you something btw. |

Due to the possibility of libel, I naturally cannot in all honesty put any names in writing. However, yes some Canadian politicians are hated, 'hated', or "hated". With the latest revelations in the Gomery Inquiry, I surmise the numbers of those politicians has increased..... By the way, Richard, why would you want me to name these despicable Canadians? Can you not take my word for it? After all, I am not selling you used cars or anything else. Oh, and reminiscent of the old TV show "Family Feud" some of the Canadian families I know have relatives who hate each other. Same with some Canadian children: the little girl who cannot have some toy sez to her parent "I HATE you! You Looser!" I wonder what the unanticipated consequences for THAT outburst were..... So much for "affection" :-) |

(This is asked only for non- Canadians - we have our own list, mostly of politicians.) Celine Dion. Bryan Adams. Har! But seriously folks, as an American who lives smack dab on the Canadian border, I can attest to the fact that Canada has a far smaller per-capita population of complete assholes. America continues to lead the way in producing newer, better assholes. Each year sees a steady rise in our assholiness, and we remain determined to continue our legacy as the world's #1 producer of selfish, unread assholes. For me, crossing into Canada often affords a genuine sense of relief. The roads, bridges and utilities are modern, well-maintained and attractive. The merchants tend to be accomodating and capable and the average Joe (or, in Canada's case, average Cheng), is courteous, educated and fun to talk with. People drive sanely and carefully, for the most part. You can chat with people and not have to use small words or steer the subject to pop culture and TV. Eventually, it's back to America. I flash 'em my passport and get on the bumpy, poorly maintained highway with its bent ugly signage, unkempt shrubbery and sad, empty interchanges. I smoothly pass jackass after jackass, left-lane squatters with huge SUV's and SUPPORT OUR TROOPS ribbons on them. *sigh* Eventually, I make it home and spend the next hour cruising Vancouver personals. I've gone out with a few, but none yet that clicked with me. What do you say, ladies? Who wants to snap up a smart, funny American guy? I can offer you laughs, loyalty and the occasional surprise. - TR - a European trapped in an American's body. |

With the latest revelations in the Gomery Inquiry, I surmise the numbers of those politicians has increased..... Even mentioning 'Gomery' puts you in the Canadian bracket, and probably even a secret Quebeker. Most Canadians don't care what goes on in the Gomery trial (BTW, for non-Canadians, the Gomery inquiry is what one Globe and Mail writer has called 'our Watergate'.) Difference is, nobody here is all that interested, and by the way, haven't you noticed how it's warming up? Hmm, Canada in the springtime... By the way, Richard, why would you want me to name these despicable Canadians? Can you not take my word for it? After all, I am not selling you used cars or anything else. Oh, and reminiscent of the old TV show "Family Feud" some of the Canadian families I know have relatives who hate each other. Same with some Canadian children: the little girl who cannot have some toy sez to her parent "I HATE you! You Looser!" I wonder what the unanticipated consequences for THAT outburst were..... But that still begs the question, nobody has mentioned a single Canadian that's hated. Brian Adams and Celine Dion don't rate a 'hate' in my opinion. Not my kind of music, but if I hated them, I'd have to hate another several hundred musicians. Too much bother. |

Not worth the trouble to work up a hatred for. But seriously folks, as an American who lives smack dab on the Canadian border, I can attest to the fact that Canada has a far smaller per-capita population of complete assholes. America continues to lead the way in producing newer, better assholes. Each year sees a steady rise in our assholiness, and we remain determined to continue our legacy as the world's #1 producer of selfish, unread assholes. I'm looking hard at that paragraph and you know what, I don't see anything to disagree about :-) For me, crossing into Canada often affords a genuine sense of relief. The roads, bridges and utilities are modern, well-maintained and attractive. The merchants tend to be accomodating and capable and the average Joe (or, in Canada's case, average Cheng), is courteous, educated and fun to talk with. People drive sanely and carefully, for the most part. You can chat with people and not have to use small words or steer the subject to pop culture and TV. We've got our potholes - just visit Toronto and jump on a bike, you'll be jolted out of your skin by the lousy roads. And 'courtesy' is usually just indifference. But if you're from the West, yes, it's true they have a better respect for folks out there. Even talk to strangers, I'm told. No self-respecting Torontonian would be caught dead talking to someone he hasn't been introduced to. Eventually, it's back to America. I flash 'em my passport and get on the bumpy, poorly maintained highway with its bent ugly signage, unkempt shrubbery and sad, empty interchanges. I smoothly pass jackass after jackass, left-lane squatters with huge SUV's and SUPPORT OUR TROOPS ribbons on them. Yep, there's that too. A definite lack of flag-wavers up north. Eventually, I make it home and spend the next hour cruising Vancouver personals. I've gone out with a few, but none yet that clicked with me. What do you say, ladies? Who wants to snap up a smart, funny American guy? I can offer you laughs, loyalty and the occasional surprise. - TR - a European trapped in an American's body. Why not admit it, you'd rather be living in Canada :-) |

Yes, Richard and that is AFTER our scandal-ridden Liberal Party of Canada -in power as the Government of Canada - gave away at least a million dollars of Canadian flags to boost "National Unity". Typically Canadian, the flags were not even made in Canada - they were outsourced by the Liberal hirelings to plants/suppliers in mainland China. Something to do with the "global economy" being more important than Canadian workers, perhaps ;-) |
