I'm a weird Canadian, because I hate beer! Given the occasion, I'll be drinking red wine...and after just one glass I'll probably start hugging trees and kissing the ground.

I love you, Canada :drool: :heart: :rockon:

:dance: :dance:

O Canada! Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide, O Canada,
We stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land,
Glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee;
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

:dance: :dance:


O Canada! Where pines and maples grow,
Great prairies spread and Lordly rivers flow!
How dear to us thy broad domain,
From East to Western sea!
The land of hope for all who toil,
The true North strong and free!
God keep our land, glorious and free.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!

O Canada! Beneath thy shining skies,
May Stalwart sons, and gentle maidens rise.
To keep thee steadfast thro' the years,
From East to Western sea.
Our own beloved native land,
Our true North strong and free!
God keep our land, glorious and free.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!

Ruler supreme, who hearest humble prayer,
Hold our Dominion, in thy loving care.
Help us to find, O God, in thee,
A lasting rich reward.
As waiting for the better day,
We ever stand on guard.
God keep our land, glorious and free.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee![
 
^ I think that's the Nebraska version :wink:

I just realized something...if I stay up for another 3 hours, I can be the first in the country to watch the Canada Day sunrise.

Where's the maple syrup? :hyper: :hyper: :hyper:
 
Thank you for your amazing comedians and idea of free health care for all.
 
Interesting that you're all in love with our health care. I think I'll take a stroll over to my nearest emergency department to get my heart-rate checked...just because I can :drool:

Personally, I think all Interferencers posting in this thread should have automatic citizenship. Some of you seem decidedly Canadian :heart:
 
I haven't met a mean Canadian person ever, that still baffles me.

Behind our innocent smiles, we're constantly gritting our teeth, and wanting to channel our repressed aggression into evil acts. In other words, Hockey.

If I stay up for another hour and a bit, I can be a part of a huge sunrise ceremony at a local park for Canada Day...but...I...don't think...I...can...make...it :yawn:

Eh, I prefer countries where the temperature occasionally gets above 2C :wink:

It's actually 15C right now :mad:

2C is next week :wink:

:applaud: I've always found that Canadiens and midwesterners are very similar when it comes to being freakishly polite and friendly. I wonder how many times they get mistaken for the other? :hmm:

I was thinking the exact same thing.

It's weird because they are so geographically different. :shrug:

Maybe it comes from constant stereotypes and being the butt of jokes. :wink:

Maybe together we should start a movement of some kind, or an uprising for the entire world to see: Y'all fuck off now, eh! :wink:

...I'm mindlessly posting at this point to stay awake. I apologize, in a deeply Canadian way.

:lol: "Mounties" sounds so much better than "Hicks." :yikes:

Stereotypes are awful, though, aren't they? Everyone thinks I probably live in an Igloo. Not true...I live in a very modern fishing vessel fuelled by seal oil.

:lol: Yes, I've heard of such vessels. :wink:

Stereotypes are terrible. I say I live in Omaha, Nebraska and the first thing that pops into people's minds are corn and cattle. What about our soybean exports? :huh:
 
Happy Birthday, Canada. Feel free to invade us anytime.
