People don't hop onto little home-made rafts that will probably sink and say "Man, I've got to get away from America!". People come -to- America. They don't go to Canada, because the only country near Canada is. . .America. They'd be fine with Canada, though. As far as they're concerned, the only difference between America and Canada, is that Canada is colder than a witch's tit most of the year. They don't give a crap about free health care (since Bush gives them free health care while neglecting the needs of the legal citizens, and keeping Canadian immigrants out, but hey, he's not pandering to the Canadian vote).
As for Terrorists, they attack places like the WTC, the White House, the Pentagon. The odds of them saying "lets kill all the NG forum users" are pretty low. What, are they going to hijack another plane? That doesn't work anymore. Last time it was tried, the dude was almost beaten to death before the plane landed.
Candaians (and I spend a good deal of time there myself) have a strange thing going, and most Americans don't understand it. . .Canadians are looking for their IDENTITY. It pisses them off, because basically they're the "colder, slightly cleaner America", and they want to be something -different-. But if they -really- wanted to be different, they would, so instead they go on and on about how America is stupid, and Americans are lazy and arrogant, while they buy our stuff, go to our movies, watch our TV shows, and otherwise innundate themselves with "our" culture. But it's not "our" culture, really. It's a shared culture, because a whole lot of it comes from Canada to begin with. They don't seem to bother to think about that, though. I spent my childhood watching SCTV and The Kids in The Hall. Canadian. I'm sure a lot of the kids on this forum just LOVE Jim Carey, and he's definately a part of our culture. Canadian. Basically, Canada gives us Funny. We give them fast food. Then they make fun of us for eating a lot of fast food, go to the A&W for a burger, and shop at Wal-Mart for a lot of American made goods.
Americans, on the other hand, don't give a shit about Canada until they start to knock -us-. But Canada shouldn't feel bad about that, because we don't really give a shit about -anyone-. We just want to do our thing, drink our beer (Canada has better beer, BTW, and the drunken Americans among us would do good by realizing that fact), and relax. I live in Florida. You think I give a fuck about Georgia? You think people in Georgia give a fuck about people in South Carolina? I don't even care about my next-door neighbor, except when he calls me at two in the morning because someone stole his heroin and he wants to know if I saw anyone snooping around his house. Meh.
Americans: Chill out
Canadians: Lighten up
Of course, none of this applies to Quebec, which hates both Americans AND Canadians.
