Why Canada is not so awesome

[–]canadian_anarchist 1 point2 points ago

I can't wait for the next election.

[–]FabriKate 0 points1 point ago

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for more robocall scandal

[–]FatherofMeatballs 3 points4 points ago

Ah, so many reposts lately.

[–]Hooler 2 points3 points ago

Oh my FSM not this again.

[–]RubSomeFunkOnIt 1 point2 points ago

Can we stop this? Seriously, Canada, we get it.

[–]GregSK 1 point2 points ago

English ten pound notes have Darwin on them, something I've always thought was pretty cool. Unfortunately the coins do have that DG REG FD crap on them.

[–]mtldude1967 1 point2 points ago

I disagree: Canada is awesome because of Rush.

Also, material used exists due to science.

Oh look. This thread again :/

Shits so cash.

[–]sluttycupcakes 0 points1 point ago

I have never seen this before. Thank you for opening my eyes, most original post of the year.

[–]Jakeob360 0 points1 point ago

Also, the feel of the new bills are very nice :D

[–]TrevorBradley 0 points1 point ago

The new one hundred also smells of maple syrup. True story.

[–]thechapattack 0 points1 point ago

Cool story bro, because America TOTALLY hasn't been historically the center of the lion's share of scientific discovery and some of the greatest minds this world has ever seen, but yea since we have some stupid soviet era thing on our currency and not a goddamn microscope we are just a shitty country.

[–]yaysuekristy 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, you conveniently left out a screenshot of your coins which all say "By the Grace of God, Queen"

[–]tsingi -1 points0 points ago

No, actually they say D. G. Regina.

No one complains because no one knows what it means.

Your comment is misleading.

[–]yaysuekristy -4 points-3 points ago

No, yours is.

D. G. Regina is Latin for "By the Grace of God, Queen". Deal with it, pretentious Canadians.

[–]tsingi 0 points1 point ago

No one complains because no one knows what it means.

I know that, you know that, what I said was that no one else knows that.

You can't be pretentious about something if you don't know about it.

You are offensive in so many ways. How is that working out for you?

[–]yaysuekristy -1 points0 points ago

It doesn't matter if many people don't know what it means, it still says what it says. Many immigrant Americans probably don't know what "In God We Trust" means either. And who gives a shit if I'm "offensive"?

You can't be pretentious about something if you don't know about it.

I was referring to the OP's post and the general attitude of Canadians as being superior to Americans.

[–]tsingi 1 point2 points ago

And who gives a shit if I'm "offensive"?

frankly not me, if no one was offensive it would be pretty boring around here.

But don't let that go to your head. It was a back handed complement at best.

I won't make a comparison between your comment about Americans not understanding English, and Canadians not understanding Latin. More fun to let you think about the implications of what you said.

Also, this has been posted a zillion times.

[–]readyhave -1 points0 points ago

Can we get an exact tally?

[–]cammerz 0 points1 point ago

Turtles.

[–]Ravinex 0 points1 point ago

On the other hand, "In God we trust" implies that all Americans believe in God. At most, D. G. Regina means that Monarchists believe in God.

[–]kieko -2 points-1 points ago

Our currency is not the only reason we are superior.

[–]ok_you_win 1 point2 points ago

The funny comedians and hot actresses are embedded in Hollywood. America loves them. We continue the secret marshalling of our other forces as well. For instance, we have placed many agents into their hockey teams.

The American populace has been raised to prefer Canadian maple syrup and increasingly depend on our bottled water.

Its not that they will never know what hit them(they wont); rather they will rejoice at chance to feed gluttony with superior socialist produkt.

Viktory is ours, komrade.
