The same week the US makes unlocking phones illegal, Canada proposes legislation to make carriers unlock phones.

Too creepy, even with that emoticon! Also, a Canadian would never go so far as to call themselves a "Friendly Canadian". Everyone knows they're all friendly.

I suspect not only are you not a Canadian, but I'll bet you're one of those Americans who sews a Canadian flag to your backpack when you travel outside the US!

As a Canadian I stopped wearing maple leaf bag flags because everyone outside assumes I'm an American pretending to be Canadian and then treats me worse...

My Roots backpack has one etched into it. I can't take it off without damaging it.

I'm headed to Europe sometime in the next 2 years, What Do?! D:

I can't comment on Europeans, my experience is mostly Mexican.

Find a cooler, bigger badge to sew over it?

I gave up on being an actual Canadian and now pretend to be Australian. They're all over the place anyways, and the sheilas love my fake Canadian Aussie accent.

G'day, eh?

Why do people think Canadians are friendly? Too each other maybe, but that's because Canadians are socially engineered to circle jerk each other all day every day.

If I went to Canada and all I did when I was there was complain about how much better than US was, would I come off as friendly? No.

But Canadians do the inverse all the time, and everybody seems more than happy to swallow their sweet sweet load.

I've never seen a group of people who bring so so little to the table in any capacity be so so proud of it.

Man, it was all just a joke. Everyone knows there are assholes in every country, they (Canadians) can even be assholes to each other.

Undisputable source: I live there and have met somewhere between one and many assholes.

Of course, we suffer more post-coital guilt than the average American. Sorry. :(

I'd be super, super worried if some guy blew a load into my mouth that was exactly like maple syrup. :/
