Do me a favour, next time some redneck fuck slag talks Canada
Mention to him one hundred Canadians have been killed in Afghanistan. Our country wouldn't even be there if your country had not been attacked, we went cause you guys took a hit and you're our friends. Our kids are dying for your country. I'm not looking for any thanks or that kind of stuff.... just bring it up next time some redneck assbags says something.

4. What got me started
Was some tool on Youtube saying Canadians would rather surrender than fight for freedom.... uh yeah...

We were in WW1 and 2 before the US. Declared war on Japan before the US, jumped in on Afghanistan straight away.... And through all of this has our country been immediatley threatened? No. Cowards my ass.

9. I love Canada.
It's one of the few countries I'd love to move to.

Been able to visit a couple times and even though there's been some random Canadian nutjobs in the news lately, everyone I met was friendly and sociable and genuinely loved being Canadian.

11. A lot like the lie that only Americans died on 9/11
I think there were nearly 100 Canadians among the dead, and people from 80 different countries.

12. Always!
Living most of my life in Seattle I headed on up to Canada countless times. I love the country and love you guys! (Even though on my first trip there as a teen there were "Hershey Go Home" signs o'plenty. But that was the sixties. :7)

15. I don't hear this much in the circles I travel in, Canadian Unions are the gold standard.
Canadian Locals keep a lot of our members working when things are slow down here.

There's a reason why we call it the International. :hi:

Canada has almost always been there in the shit with our guys, except, wisely, Iraq of course. I would never let anyone insult my brothers and sisters to the North.

20. Just yesterday, some repuke chick said America was gonna go socialist
and pointed to Canada and "your abysmal health care system". It took me by surprise because 1.) she's a librarian and 2.) I didn't think she was a redneck freak. Next time I see her I'm gonna tel her how less attractive I find now that she's come out as a republican.

21. The only reason our healthcare sucks is because
It's underfunded because politicians need it as an issue to talk about. Meahwhile the Cons want it shitty to make the case for privatization.

Even THEN... it's better than NO healthcare system. Tell her that. And remind her a library is a "socialist" concept.

38. I went to see the RCMP Musical Ride last week....
usually at the end of the show the announcer says "are you proud to be Canadian?"...but since it was in Massachusetts, he said "are you proud to be our neighbor?" - - the crowd erupted in cheers.

We got your back.
