Is one of their leading exports actually marijuana? That’s pretty interesting if true.
I think Canada has next to zero in marijuana exports, because it’s illegal to import it in most places. It does contribute billions to Canada’s GDP, but that’s production and consumption that never leaves the country.
It doesn’t leave my house LOL.
No, not even among just the illegal narcotics.
Yeah that does make more sense. I guess that makes the comic quite a bit more offensive though lol
Seems accurate
If you’re gonna sum up an entire culture in a handful of words, well, they could have done worse.
They coulda put “aboot” in there
Now now, there’s no need to stick aboot in!
i don’t see any Canadians disagreeing
Sorry, but I don’t see her saying sorry!
Sörry
Yeah, some of the key Canadian words are missing, eh?
Yeah, that hoser needs to take off
I’m from Canada.
It’s not America.
As a Canadian this is the realist thing ever. Half our identity is being not-American.
25 years ago this was a bit silly, but these days it’s like saying: “Look, I’m not on the Epstein List!”
But Canada is in America
Ya, and Europe is not a continent. What a super intelligent position to take.
There is no “America” by your definition. There are 800 million people in “the Americas”. Half of them refer to their county as simply “America”. Like 500 times a day. At least 100 million of the rest also use this label for the USA as does a big chunk of the world. When Churchill said, “You can always count of the Americans to do the right thing but too late”, was he talking about Chile or Canada?
I would say the “United States” but then some moron will point out that this could mean the United States of Mexico as if just saying “United States” or “America” is confusing anybody. Does the US National Guard protect Mexico? Cuba or Belize? The US Marines?
Do you think “America, fuck ya” is something people from Kentucky say to celebrate Honduras? Do you think “America the beautiful” is a song about Peru? Do you think the “American National Anthem” is pro Mexico?
Do you think “American football” is what they play in Brazil? Because they sure don’t play it in Canada.
And the 7,000,000,000,000 YouTube videos about “the American President”, who elected him?
It is hard for me to believe that somebody thought this would seem like a smart thing to say.
I run into people all the time who use the term “America” without at all meaning that country wedged between Mexico and Canada. Los Estados Unidos is often how you’ll hear the nation state referred to in Latin America, whereas “America” usually refers to the entire hemisphere.
It always blew my mind that the USA colonized the word America to have it refer only to themselves. How fucking on-brand is that?
USians are so poor, they can’t even get a name of its own for their country.
Calm down lmao
Continents aren’t real.
Which continent is Russia in? Is Costa Rica in the same continent as Mexico or are they in different continents? Is “Central America” a continent?
It’s all made up bullshit, so why not just say Canada is it’s own continent?
The only purpose of Central America is to not have Mexicans on the same continent as US people.
I fully agree with you, but add the additional point that countries are fictions as well.
While we’re on the topic, borders are very fictitious.
Countries have leaders, cultures, and history. They’re at least as real is this web forum we’re communicating on is.
I’ll give you this; historically, they’re at least as real as the concept of whiteness.
I’m American. That’s how we view you guys as well.
Good.
The biggest insult a Canadian could ever hear is being called ‘American’.
Shit as an American the biggest insult I could ever hear is being called an American. That isn’t the flex you think it is
Thdy must have vastly different smoking laws in Japan. We can’t smoke within 4m of entrances (legally), let alone indoors.
We aren’t - this is spot on
Is Kate single?
You want her to pour some maple syrup on you?
IN THE NAME OF LOVVVVVVVVVVVVVE

This is a non-combatant NPC.
This is a human. This one is something called a Canadian. Part French. Part maple syrup. He’s weirdly obsessed with ice hockey and snowmobiles and semi-erotic lumberjack fan fiction. Has a well-worn Tim Hortons loyalty card in his Velcro wallet. He says “aboot” instead of “about” and gets really, really upset when you point it out, claiming you’re hearing things and that it’s a harmful stereotype. It’s not a stereotype, and that’s exactly how it sounds. He has a relative who was trampled to death by a moose. You get the idea.The one detail in this that slightly annoyed me is the timmy’s card. patriotic people don’t shop there anymore because of the ownership, also their products have sucked for the last decade anyways. idr when that book came out, though
also, side note, nobody but the east coast is pronouncing it “aboot”. there’s a clear difference between “about” and “boot”. americans just really draw out the “ow” in “out”, so yes it sounds closer to “boot”, but it’s hardly ‘exactly how it sounds’. /angryrant
side side note, I don’t have a relative who was trampled by a moose, but I do know someone who had their car trampled by a moose
I would say the Tim’s card would imply from an era the company was less shit (RIP their OG Ham & Swiss sandwich with the crunchy bread).
But I don’t think Tim’s ever had a loyalty card did they? Maybe a roll up the rim “free coffee” they forgot to ever cash in.
I’ve got one in my wallet right now.

ty for explaining the joke
Thank you.
What’s that look on her face… aggressively horny? Is this normally how Canadian ladies get while smoking BC buds??
Nah, that’s the maple. We get crazy with the sticky tree blood in us.
That’s the reefer madness. East Asia takes a very hard line against drugs. As late as the 70s people in Japan would get 30 years in prison for possession of marijuana. Dealing drugs is often the death penalty across the region.
That’s just like, Victoria. It’s a pretty dope city.
She’s cute.

Ms. Wood is incredibly based
Please be real
I wish but the actual one is probably very mundane.
I’m sorry to disappoint.
Still got those crazy eyes though.
That’s actually fairly interesting. Apparently Japan thinks we’re really into music. I wonder if there’s a Canadian pianist that’s popular over there?
…And cheat at curling
I’m just gonna go make some popcorn while I wait for the random Swede or Canadian to wander into this thread.
Hello, Kate Wood here.
how fast can you run?
At least 4 knots. Maybe 5 idk.
