    Default What it means to be Canadian

    Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God went missing for six days.

    Eventually, Michael the archangel found him, resting on the seventh day. He inquired of God, "Where have you been?"

    God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, "Look Michael, look what I've made."

    Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is it?"

    "It's a planet," replied God, "and I've put LIFE on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a place of great balance."

    "Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused.

    God explained, pointing to different parts of Earth, "For example, Northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth while Southern Europe is going to be poor; the Middle East over there will be a hot spot. Over there I've placed a continent of white people and over there is a continent of black people". God continued, pointing to different countries. "This one will be extremely hot and arid while this one will be very cold and covered in ice."

    The Archangel, impressed by Gods work, then pointed to a large landmass in the top corner and asked, "What's that one?"

    "Ah," said God. "That's Canada, the most glorious place on Earth. There are beautiful mountains, lakes, rivers, streams and an exquisite coastline. The people from Canada are going to be modest, intelligent and humorous and they're going to be found travelling the world. They'll be extremely sociable, hard working and high achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as diplomats and carriers of peace. I'm also going to give them super-human, undefeatable ice hockey players who will be admired and feared by all who come across them."

    Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed; "What about balance, God? You said there will be BALANCE!"

    God replied wisely. "Wait until you see the loud-mouth idiots I'm putting next to them...."



    Bwahahaha. The first good junk mail I've gotten in a long time.

    After dealing with Canuck fanatics (Not Canadian, I refuse to dignify them with that term), I kind of have a knee-jerk reaction to Canadian nationalist sentiments in general...plus, I've heard it before (from said Canucks).

    That Joke is really simaler to one I heard before except it was Britain and France instead of Canada And U.S.A


    About those Canuck fanatics Zephyr

    I was visiting people I know in B.C. a little while ago and the Canuks had just one some stupid game and there was (at 11:00PM I might add) a bunch of idiot canuck fans driving about honking their horns and screaming like the canucks had just saved the world or something.
    By 11:30 me and my friends got sick of it all went outside and yelled ''canucks suck'' at the top of our lungs then ran back in side, although not before hearing several people screaming back at us.

    oh and all that matters to me about hockey is if the Calgary Flames beat the Edmonton Oilers.
    I am in no way responsible for the above post. It was my hand's fault. Bad hand.

    Q.What it means to be Canadian?
    A.According to every u.s. sitcom, you say "ay" at the beginning and end of every sentence and watch/play ice hockey while listening to a really high pitched female singer.

    p.s. it sux that that politician of yours had to resign a while ago over what he said about Bush, shows what happens when you speak the truth ay?

    I've heard that joke many a time, but I always like it- makes me feel nice to be Canadian.
