    The Best Thing about being a Canadian?

    I just got back from a trip to Europe and I have to say the best thing about being Canadian is telling people you are Canadian when you travel. As soon as people find out we are Canadian they become much more friendly. Canada really does have a great reputation around the world

    Btw that said the best thing about being a Quebecer is the very warm reception you receive when in France. As soon as they hear the quebecois accent their attitude completely changes.

                            Agreed. Except in the US. I have a Canadian flag tag on my suitcase, and I've gotten more sighs and rolled eyes from taxi drivers in the states since 9/11 than I care to list.

                              you need a visa for china as well.

                              Why is it that you can travel anywhere in the world and have a friendly reception as a Canadian, but travel to the USA and you get a rude one?

                              I don't hold anything against Americans personally, I am curious what crimes Canadians have committed that is bothering Americans?

                                    I am from Australia and I share your veiw. I have relatives who reside in Calgary, and they are the warmest most caring of all relitives i correspond with on the net. I have to say that any Canadians I have been lucky enough to meet have been warm and caring, but this is not to say that they do not exist. Australians have a great reputation and are just about regarded as highly, would u agree?

                                        This for starters...

                                        .
                                        .
                                        .

                                        Arguing with a troll is a lot like wrestling in the mud with a pig, after a couple of hours you realize the pig likes it.

As soon as people find out we are Canadian they become much more friendly. Canada really does have a great reputation around the world
                                                          No disrespect against Canada, but the country that is universally admired the world over is the USA. The reasons are too numerous to list, but here are a few: saving Europe in WWII, going to the moon, hosting world class universities, and fostering an exceptional entrepreneurial culture.

                                                          Of course, there are also those who are jealous of our success and who oppose our freedoms, particularly in the Mideast. We certainly have our critics, especially of late.

                                                          One great thing about being Canadian is that you reap all of the benefits of trading with America, your biggest trading partner. If you are a Canadian in the adult business, where do most of your customers live?

                                                          Don't forget who is Your Daddy.

                                                            I thought the best thing about being Canadian was that you guys can legally download music since you have that CDR tax.

I have relatives who reside in Calgary, and they are the warmest most caring of all relitives i correspond with on the net. I have to say that any Canadians I have been lucky enough to meet have been warm and caring, but this is not to say that they do not exist. Australians have a great reputation and are just about regarded as highly, would u agree?

Canada & Australia a very compatible when it comes down to it. You're basically our long lost brothers from the lower hemisphere. but you're a bunch of filthy criminals...

As soon as people find out we are Canadian they become much more friendly. Canada really does have a great reputation around the world
