Title: Canadian Stereotypes
Post by: Suga Foot on August 30, 2004, 11:19:13 PM
ok lets see what you got...

I'll get the ball rolling:



We all live in igloos

we all say "eh"

everyone plays hockey

we say "aboot" instead of "about"  (I think they actually do say 'aboot' in the east tho)

I've never been anywhere in Canada outside Toronto so I can't comment on how they act, but Toronto is so americanized it's no different here than in New York, just a lot smaller.

I've lived in Canda for almost 22 years and I don't think I've ever seen a live Mountie on duty in my life.

Doubtful, I have an Uncle from PEI (the most East) and he's never said that.

They're all dumb, and doesn't know their own best.
Their heads are divided in 2, when they talk the upper part of the head is separated from the lower part.
They sing gay songs, and when they sing them, all of Canada sings along.
They have gay leaders, they doesn't even know who the leaders are, Saddam might be one of them.
Their TV-shows consists of farting, they all ice-skate, and most of them wear red uniforms.






















Oh wait, that's South Park.  ;D

Maine is right by the Maritimes. You can't see one type of Canadian and think they're all like that. It'd be like visting a small town in Texas and saying all Americans are cowboys who have thick accents and spit a lot.

ok today I met someone from upper minnesota and they talked crazy weird. Just admit that alot of the canadians have that accent. Just like people say that people from Boston and New york have accents. Which is true because I have it and I don't even relize it. Some people don't have it.  I'm not saying everyone has it in canada. But alot ya'll do have accents.
Just like when I heard NIK talk on his tracks . I can tell he is from Cali by his accent. My best friend is from Frisco and he moved here a while back and he had the accent but It slowly changed

I think Canadians don't notice their accent, and that's why they deny it...But it's true; dialog is different everywhere...LOL

well, here in teh westcoast im sure we dont have one becuase vancouver and basically the whole  lower mainland is  very race mixed. One bridge seperates lil india from lil china here.

when my two cousins came from cali, they were shocked we didn't have an accent  :D...Alberta and on is where you get teh accents ;)...Most of BC is safe from that shit ;D (unless you go up north where the hillbillies live)

The Queensborough bridge (the one in Vancouver) is the longest bridge in the world.  It goes from India to China, lmao.
