Subject: I AM CANADIAN
Hi ....My name is Billy, .................And I am "Canadian"....
I am a minority in Vancouver, Banff, and every casino in this country. Was born in 1972, yet I am responsible for some Native's
great - great grandfather who screwed himself out of his land in the
1800's. I pay import tax on cars made in Ontario.
I am allowed to skydive and smoke, but not allowed to drive without a seat belt. All the money I make up until mid July must go to paying taxes. I live and work among people who believe Americans are ignorant. These same people cannot name this country's new Territory. Although I am sometimes forced to live on Kraft Dinner and don't have a pot to piss in, I sleep well knowing that I've helped purchase a nice six figure home in Vancouver for some unskilled Chinese refugee.
Although they are unpatriotic and constantly try to separate,
Quebec still provides my nation's Prime Ministers.
95% of my nation's international conflicts are over fish.
I'm supposed to call black people African Canadians, although I'm
sure none of them have ever been to Africa, or east of Halifax for
that matter. I believe that paying a 200% tax on alcohol is fair.
I believe that same tax on gasoline is also fair.
Even if I have no idea what happened to that old rifle my
grandfather gave me when I was 14, I will be considered a criminal
if I don't register it. I DO know Jeff from Toronto & Aldergrove...
I often badmouth the United States, and then vacation there three
times a year. I'm led to believe that some lazy * unionized broom pusher who makes $30 an hour is underpaid and therefore must go on strike, but paying $10 an hour to someone who works 12 hour shifts at forty below on an oil rig is fair.
I believe that paying $30 million for 3 stripes (The Voice of
Fire) by the National Art Gallery was a good purchase, even though
99% of this country didn't want it, or will ever see it.
When I look at my pay stub and realize that I take home a third of
what I actually make, I say "Oh well, at least we have better
health care than the Americans"
I must bail out farmers when their crops are too wet or too
dry, because I control the rain.
My National Anthem has versions in both official languages, and I
don't know either of them.
Canada is the highest taxed nation in North America, the biggest
military buffer for the United States, and the number one
destination for fleeing boat people.
I am not an angry white male. I am an angry broke taxpayer.
My name is Billy, and I am Canadian.

Why does man kill? He kills for food. But not only for food; frequently, he must have a beverage.

Their streets are clean and people are friendly as well.
I don't like their gun laws or taxes, but I don't have to deal with them!
Thanks Canada!

Thanks, Canada!

NONE of these answers pleased her very much.
Reserving my Right to Arm Bears!!!!
About a decade ago, I was crossing over the border with a (now) ex-girlfriend that lived near Detroit. When the lady at the customs gate asked if we had any weapons, I said "No", because we didn't. And then my girlfriend piped up and said "Oh, but I have this swiss army knife on my keychain!" The border gaurd insisted on examining it for about 10 minutes. After passing it around for her coworkers judgement, she handed it back and said, "Well, OK -- Just don't use that thing here!" Like we were gonna go on a country-wide murder spree with a 1.5" blade and a pair of tweezers and scissors.
Being Canadian born, I can in all honesty say, Canada is a beautiful place, has many advantages, and some disadvantages....
Living in the States now and an American, I can say in all honesty, the US is a beautiful place, having many advantages and some disadvantages..
In other words, both places are great places to live.. both allowing the freedom that is so often taken for granted, each having many advantages, and disadvantages...

Long live the father of grunge!
