Came here to just add this..

Couple weeks ago I went on a cruise. After redditing for awhile now I kept seeing the occasional "nice guy canadian" posts. I thought like all stereotypes it was a joke. I met the pro golfer on the cruise and he was canadian. One of the nights he asked to bum a smoke from me while we were out on the deck. It was my second to last one, and upon asking he saw I was nearly out and profusely apologized for requesting one of my near final cigarettes (like he could have possibly known). I said its really no problem and gave it to him. He offered me free lessons the next day, lessons that typically cost the cruise passangers 50$ per half hour. Confirmation that canadians are nice and awesome

[–]andy98725 7 points8 points ago

Sorry you thought otherwise, here's $200.

[–]blackwidowk758[S] 8 points9 points ago

Yes we are!

[–]pablothe 13 points14 points ago

Experiencing Canada as a foreigner, I've realized that what makes people so "nice" to each other is some sort of distant respect. You have a conglomeration of different religions and cultures like nowhere else I've seen. People do not know everyone's customs so they choose to be nice to their neighbors which is something universally appreciated. People have respect for each other so that nobody feels offended, I feel very grateful of being here because people are truly very nice.

[–]jojoisphat 9 points10 points ago

Did anyone else read this in the southpark bp oil guys voice? "we're sorry.... Sorry"

[–]punkhobo 0 points1 point ago

Glad to see I'm not the only one

[–]azzleflan 24 points25 points ago

It's been done

[–]certainlikely 8 points9 points ago

Latin American living in the U.S. here. Never been to Canada or met a Canadian. Can someone explain the jokes? Is it that Canadians are stereotypically apologetic? What are the other ones?

[–]ptrckstwrt 18 points19 points ago

Maple syrup on everything, free healthcare, aboot instead of about, stronger beer, wildlife everywhere, it's always winter, everyone plays/loves hockey, we all smoke pot, everyone wears toques, Tim Hortons, all our police ride horses, we all live in igloos and every sentence ends in Eh.

[–]thejokerxx00 6 points7 points ago

ill tell you after living in new york all my life that sounds just wonderful

[–]ptrckstwrt 4 points5 points ago

Aside from the occasional jackass politician (harper) it is quite nice up here.

[–]arbitration_man 1 point2 points ago

I'll say it. I like Harper's economic policies.

[–]L4cer8 3 points4 points ago

ಠ_ಠ

[–]mwmwmwmwmmdw 1 point2 points ago

i agree

[–]thejokerxx00 0 points1 point ago

well i dont know if you know american politics but its not far off just with more jackasses

[–]darkflavour 0 points1 point ago

It's everything you'd ever dreamed of and more.

[–]thejokerxx00 0 points1 point ago

then i know where i am moving too

[–]generalguyz 3 points4 points ago

And y'all are afraid of the dark.

[–]kingpumpkin 3 points4 points ago

We are not! I mean, we don't love it, but who does?

[–]marsneedstowels 0 points1 point ago

Well we had a YTV show that asked us this question but there was never really an answer as it was not possible to communicate with a fictional television program through the television.

Upon further investigation it appears Americans were also asked this question on Nick.

[–]kingpumpkin 1 point2 points ago

We do have (pretty much) free healthcare, that's not a stereotype...

[–]canadian028 1 point2 points ago

Tim Hortons is reallyyyy good though :)

[–]wwwertdf 0 points1 point ago

Canadian Here:

Maple Syrup on Eveything: No

Free Healthcare: Yes

Aboot: Family guy created this, never heard a canadian speak like that.

Stronger Beer: Not Always.

Wildlife Everywhere: Yes

Always Winter: It hit 32 Degrees today (89.6 ºF)

Hockey: Hate it, but there is alot of it

All smoke pot: Nah

Everyone wears toques: No

Tim Hortons: Is Awesome

All Police Ride Horses: As crown vics are phased out, department are starting to order turbo charged dodge charges. The toronto police force also has approximately 10 custom built hummers reserved especally for tactical jobs and blockades.

We all live in igloos: My "igloo" costed me $650,000

Eh: Kind of, not really.

[–]ptrckstwrt 1 point2 points ago

Yes, this is what our country really is. I was just making a list of stereotypes not realities. Family guy did not create "aboot" and your "igloo" sounds nice. I thought the nouns my and we were enough to tell you that I was Canadian as well but I guess not.

[–]politikill 0 points1 point ago

Well, as you don't need free health care you don't receive it. But those in need do.

We are fortunate enough to not have to set broken bones in the bathroom for fear of life-long debt, and that's good enough for me. I'll happily pay the premiums when the time comes so that others that can't afford it don't have to.

[–]wwwertdf 0 points1 point ago

I dont quite understand the point you are trying to make here...

[–]ptrckstwrt 0 points1 point ago

"Free health care no". As well as many other changes to your reply, such as the format. When you change a response a little * shows up by the time stamp.

[–]wwwertdf 0 points1 point ago

Free healthcare said yes. Because health care is free. All i did was add the breaks to make it easier to read. I believe what you misread was the "No free health care: yes" in which case the leading no was directed toward the maple syrup thing. Even then though there was still commas in that paragraph. Sorry dude you fucked it up.

[–]politikill 0 points1 point ago

Hm. At least you're not a dick for no reason.

[–]ArcanumIE 3 points4 points ago

You are correct. Also there is a small joke about us being able to drink a lot of alcohol and live where it is always snowing.

The only thing this missed is the presence of a hockey stick

[–]blackwidowk758[S] 4 points5 points ago

I approve

[–]MrMagpie93 0 points1 point ago

Ah reddit trends.. You always due so young

[–]InterwebCeleb 4 points5 points ago

The stereotypes about Canadians are usually true, and most Canadians (at least those I have met) really take the jokes well. The thing about Canadian stereotypes is that they are all positive stereotypes, and then they live up to it. I fucking love Canadians. Well, not the Quebecois, no one likes the Quebecois.

[–]kingpumpkin 1 point2 points ago

Well, not all our stereotypes are positive, there's the Quebecois... that's about it eh. Sorry for wasting your time.

[–]irecyclewindowsxp 0 points1 point ago

What do they do?

[–]TwoBlueUnicorns 3 points4 points ago

this is relavent

[–]sk3lt3r 1 point2 points ago

But. Relevant.

[–]Maxfunky 5 points6 points ago

You mean "Sorey".

[–]aoskunk 2 points3 points ago

[–]salami_inferno 2 points3 points ago

Every single person on this planet has an accent, you just can't hear your own

[–]aoskunk 0 points1 point ago

I was thinking of the accents people had in the movie Fargo. I don't know if they were really representative.

or maybe like the mother from the cartoon bobby's world?

[–]SublaciniateCarboloy 2 points3 points ago

Wasn't this just on the frontpage last week? Either that or I have Alzheimers.

[–]RaggedyPrincess 1 point2 points ago

No, you are right. It is the rest of reddit that has Alzheimer's.

[–]SublaciniateCarboloy 0 points1 point ago

Good to know.

[–]Benjamak 2 points3 points ago

As a Canadian, I'd like to apologize for this.

[–]munnyfish 1 point2 points ago

looks more like a zamboni than a snow plow

[–]mustfndnewname 1 point2 points ago

It would be ironic if the whole of canada were actually just like detroit and all this were propaganda.

[–]NoIdea- 1 point2 points ago

I got a ticket today and the police officer apologized when he handed it to me.

It was for a seat belt, 170 dollar ticket.

=(

[–]kardos 1 point2 points ago

That horse is dead guys

[–]gosuprobe 1 point2 points ago

sorry

[–]Canadian-ambassador 1 point2 points ago

Sorry guys.

[–]theninjamanz 1 point2 points ago

Gave you an upvote, sorry

[–]shelteredcanuck 1 point2 points ago

Read this is Bob and Doug Mckenzies' voices... With additional 'eh's.

[–]Maevenn 0 points1 point ago

This is 'zactly how I read it, and I'm Canadian too, eh?

[–]Summerrocks95 1 point2 points ago

And then.... Ice hockey.

[–]van_vanhouten 7 points8 points ago

If it is on ice then it is just called hockey.

[–]iBuzzKill 1 point2 points ago

as a canadian, I find this a repost.

[–]blackwidowk758[S] 1 point2 points ago

1,000 link kamra!1! Thanks all

[–]JBurrows_ 2 points3 points ago

Sorry.

[–]redDACHSHUND 0 points1 point ago

[–]blackwidowk758[S] 0 points1 point ago

for me

[–]scott226 0 points1 point ago

I'm sorry but I found this very true lol

[–]kingpumpkin 2 points3 points ago

Sorry.

[–]trinitysite 0 points1 point ago

It must be getting late. I read it as "snow pillow."

Not sure if I would want one of those or not...

[–]feeish 0 points1 point ago

They're nice and friendly until you root for another hockey team. My friend and I were watching the flyers vs Vancouver (or Montreal) when I cheered at the flyers goal she punched me in the back. Then apologized and threatened to punch me again if I kept cheering.

[–]Run_amuck 0 points1 point ago

I was run over by a snow plow as a teen. All it did was bury me in a drift.

[–]Handelian 0 points1 point ago

I, too, am Canadian. The pluralization goes as follows:

One beer.

Two beer.

Ten thousand beer. etc.

[–]bigmeech 0 points1 point ago

haha it's funny because canadians say sorry a lot

[–]Leroy_J 0 points1 point ago

I'm American. I just want to hear Canadians say, 'aboot'.

[–]ScaryGarcia 0 points1 point ago

SORR-EE

[–]Galifreyan2012 0 points1 point ago

Stopping by from the frigid north to confirm that we are all indeed, sorry.

[–]Fudumkis 0 points1 point ago

Wow, i just realized my RSS feed is broken and i haven't been getting completely serious comics since December last year! Thanks!

[–]blackwidowk758[S] 0 points1 point ago

GUYS I FOUND A REPOST http://www.reddit.com/r/jerkingcenter/comments/tvnev/sorry/

[–]brownboy13Delhiting your posts since 2012[M] -1 points0 points ago

Removed - Rehosted Web Comic. Please link to the authors original page.

[–]generalguyz -2 points-1 points ago

Link to the original next time OP, instead of rehosting to imgur. It's generally considered a dick move.

Rehosted webcomics will be removed. Please submit a link to the original comic's site and preferably an imgur link in the comments.

[–]brownboy13Delhiting your posts since 2012[M] -1 points0 points ago

Thanks for the link. Removing this post.
