a place where only a few hundred posts back was "completely and utterly economically dependant upon the USA" and now is doing quite well financially regardless of the fact that our neighbour to the south that we so desperately relied on is going through financial collapse
FOX NEWS HOST 3 YEARS AGO: Canada would be Nothing without the United States. If it was for our cash in their economy they'd be living in a third world conditions
REALITY TODAY: America's economy is in the crapper and as a result many countries around the world have also been greatly effected, that is except Canada who despite having such close economic ties with the USA, seems to be barely feeling the pinch of the crisis to the south.

Canada is basically The USA except for a few key differences in with our government and culture.
1. Canada doesn't have a huge military because it doesn't need a huge military.
2. We don't say "eh?" all of the time I don't really know where that stereotype came from but it waaay over used.
3. We are not under educated; i live in Vancouver near UBC which is one of the top 50 ranked universities in the world.
4. Ok fine maybe there's a thing with beer...
5. And weed...
6. Hockey is not our national sport although most canadians think this as well as americans, it's actually lacrosse.
7. We may not have a big military but that is not to say we don't contribute our fair share in wars. Our population is only 34 million so sending the same amount of troops that the USA does would be outrageous.
8. Yeah canadians can be assholes on the internet; but that is because were so god damn annoyed at all of the americans playing of every stereotype good or bad in every single social media.
9. We are not part of the United Kingdom by any reasonable definition; the monarch serves a symbolic roll as head of state but has no real power.
10. The majority of us don't hate americans it's just those of us who are annoyed at the americans (see 8).
Canadian's Stereotype of an American:
American 1: dude lets go to McDonalds and get fat then talk shit about Canada!
American 2: dude you just read my mind.
American 1: God bless America.
American's Stereotype of a Canadian:
Canadian 1: Billy crashed his snowmobile into the roof of my igloo!
Canadian 2: Eh?
Canadian 1: Arn't you gonna do somethin' aboot this?
Canadian 2: Eh?

We are not Americans. Not everyone lives in an igloo. We do not bathe in maple syrup, but if we could, we would. It's not winter 12 months a year. We have a goose named after us. It's okay to say 'EH'! Not everyone has a pet polar bear. We think the mounties uniform is stylish. The beaver is a cherished animal. We do not say 'Aboot' we say 'About' like everyone else. The best freakin' country in the world since 1867.
Canada is pretty damn cool. Deal. With. It.

Damn right. Canada is a brilliant country, not without it's faults but what country doesn't have them. Other countries (Canada's close friends and allies) all have their good and bad points too. Let's stop this sledging off of one another and try and get on.
Person one: Canada rocks.
Person two: Yes yes it does.

The second largest country in the world. Home of many famous actors, inventors and heroes of our time. Also, home to the most outrageous stereotypes I've ever heard.
No, we do not say "eh" after every second word. No, we don't live in igloos. No, we do not idolize or deteste (whatever the opinion) our American neighbors. We have free health care. We don't like participating in war. People all over the country have a different way of saying things, same as in the USA. There are some of us, who are billigual( I am partially), but not all of us speak french. Not every Canadian is hockey obsessed or plays it (I do). We don't drink every hour of the day, seven days a week. We are nice, polite, caring people that just want to be friends!
The only reason I wrote this is because I am disgusted with some of the opinions people have posted here on urbandictionary.com. I agree with other Canadians, and other Americans, that Canada is not so different than the USA.
I may be the stereotypical Canadian, along with Bob & Doug McKensie.
I play and love hockey, I am partially bilingual, and, if I were of age, I'd probably like to have a drink one in a while.
I Love Canada, eh!

1) What the United States would be like if we legalized marijuana and brought back hockey;
2) A country bordering the United States with a smaller population, similar dialect, and a political/social ethos that is a hybrid of American individualism and European secularism;
3) Where Americans claim to be from when currently traveling overseas;
4) The country most Mexican and Central American illegal aliens are actually try to sneak into, but have trouble reaching because of the long distances involved, whereupon they find themselves trapped in New Mexico, Texas, California and Arizona.
It's Canada, eh? Keep our cities cleen...
