One day I will find out if all of this is true.

The part about it not being America is true for now…

Show threadSoulphiteMar 13
This is pretty offensive to America’s hat, and almost their 51st state before the orange turd decided to start bullying Greenland. I recommend you apologize now, eh.
Show threadKaputMar 13
Modtly accurate, Yes. I son pour Maple syrup on everyrthing. Exception thé bud export is hard to quanrify, and i have a fleur de lys on my bag.

It’s pronounced Quebec…

You sure? I could have sworn that it’s pronounced Quebec…

KEH . KEH . KEH - Bek.

That’s so embarrassing! I’ve always pronounced it with only one KEH rather than all three! What must people have thought!

Dont have muCh of a choice if you want to mention Maple syrup.
Show threadSorryQuickMar 14
Hardly any maple syrup outside of quebec. One of the few things that keep me here.
Show threadbitjunkieMar 13
Pretty accurate tbh
Show threadAlexLostMar 13
Yes, we do have names like “Kate Wood” and BC bud is the shit. Maple syrup is more of an east coast thing, but we do enjoy it on our breakfast foods out west, and you can find maple flavoured anything at the store. We are definitely not America and never will be.

We are definitely not America and never will be.

In fact, could you do the opposite and annex Minnesota? Please?

Show threadAgrivarMar 13
All of the north-eastern states would also like to be considered for annexation - even New Hampshire seems to be catching on.
Show threadzikzak025Mar 14
If the US fell apart, I feel like the northeastern states would inevitably just coalesce into “Newer England” since they’re so ideologically and economically linked.
Show threadAgrivarMar 14
Considering we were first colonized by Englishmen looking to escape England, and then took in a TON of Irish when the English were starving and oppressing them, perhaps we should call ourselves New Ireland instead - as one last jab at the English! LOL

Nah, you guys should form your own country though. We’d prefer to not adopt your MAGAs and even your left wing is concerning

I don’t eat that fake maple syrup. I can’t tolerate the taste. But I need to stock up on some ketchup chips at some point.
Show threadowenfromcanadaMar 13
Try not to judge us too hard for this. We kicked Kate out for a reason (lighting up a fat joint in an elementary school classroom isn’t cool here). She’s got the rest right on, though.
Show threademeralddawn45Mar 14
Yeah, the teachers always made sure to put out the joints before going back to class at my school. I still say that telling all the students there was a pet skunk in the teachers lounge that we weren’t allowed to see was cruel and unnecessary though.
Show threadi_stole_ur_tacoMar 13
We don’t put maple leaves on our stuff anymore because when we travel we end up getting confused with Americans trying to pretend they’re not Americans by putting maple leaves on their shit.
Show threadMyBrainHurtsMar 13

Decades ago I was a young backpacker and saw other folks with the maple leaf on their stuff. Went to chat and they admitted they were Americans who had sewn it on so people would be nice to them.

I was simultaneously annoyed at them (I’d have been pissed but they did buy me an apology pint) and proud of Canada for the reputation.

Show threadTowardsTheFutureMar 13

I’ve seen a snowbird with a thin blue line Canadian flag sticker on their truck…. And salt life. Lol.

So… maybe some of those are actually Canadians….

Show threadxeekeiMar 14
How would a “blue line Canadian flag” work? Where do they put the blue line?
Show threadTowardsTheFutureMar 14
Right? It was just… in the same place…. Horizontal through the middle… it was so stupid.
Show threadTheBloodFartsMar 14
A bunch of moron Canadians will just have the US flag thin blue line decal, makes zero sense
Show threadAllNewTypeFaceMar 13
There are apparently T-shirts which read “don’t shoot, I’m Canadian” in a number of languages (Arabic, Russian and Spanish, I think)

We don’t have to put a patch on our bags, people can tell because we are not loud and obnoxious.

If that’s the case we’ll take Vermont and Minnesota and you can have Alberta.

If we take Vermont Canada will control ALL the maple syrup. I see no downside

Yup. That all checks out.

As a Canadian, personally, I think English cream tastes much better than syrup. I tried English cream once and I gotta make some myself because it’s to die for

Gotta keep that sweet sweet maple for domestic use.

The evil, slightly manic expression on Kate’s face was what gave it away for me.
