OP - it's my believe that if the USA was a person, they'd be diagnosed as a sociopath. And having a grandiose, and yet, undeserved, sense of self worth is one of the traits. No country has an inferiority complex towards you - that is why everyone mocks/detests you. Bullies with big egos, thus, you deserve your upcoming president, it suits you.

Canadians are not nice, and they don't apologize because in my lifetime they have never admitted they were wrong about anything, even though they are even more stupid and mistake-prone than Americans, on average. They also like to think of themselves as "tough" and "streetwise" and have problem with toxic masculinity (hence the abuse and murder of native prostitutes). They are not in general smart, their education system is the only one in the G8 that is even worse than the USA's, and their politicians are student council level. It is merely luck that they have a more progressive government than our own at this point in history. If Rob Ford had lived he could easily have become PM. For most of the last couple hundred years their governments have been more conservative and ridiculous than ours, causing widespread misery and starvation during the Depression to cite just one example. Their infrastructure is minimal, and they have done a piss poor job of managing the Arctic. They are way more racist than they think, and their history with Native Americans is just as bad as ours, including biological warfare. They are also stuck with an even worse kind of Puritanism, the Scottish kind. Alcohol is allowed but FUN is verboten and "social life" means constant dick comparisons and one-upmanship conversations. They typically cannot carry on a conversation for an hour unless they are an immigrant or on drugs.

That said, they have many fine qualities too. But these threads always involve unself-aware Canadians spewing stereotypes that were invented by Canadians who had never been anywhere else.

R16 - The one accusation that you make, that Canadians are very provincial, and have never been anywhere else, doesn't jive with the statistics that as of 2013, 70% of Canadians carried a passport. Having a passport would usually indicate that it is used to cross borders. Compare that to only 36% of USAmericans that have a passport, and tell me again, who is 'provincial'.

Tons of Americans go to Mexico, I mean tons. Cruises to Mexico are like air to middle class Americans, and to go on a cruise some countries don't require Americans to carry a passport, it has to do with the ship being on a closed loop, as long as the ship leaves and returns from the same American port you aren't required to carry a passport, at least that happened when I went to the Bahamas. I'd hardly call it being well traveled, but Americans do get out every once and a while.

This is a very famous Canadian donut chain called "Coffee Time Donuts". They're literally everywhere you go in Canada and they're an iconic name in Canadian Culture. It was started in the 1980's by a famous Canadian hockey player named Paul Coffee. He played for the Edmonton Oilers and the Pittsburgh Penguins and won many Stanley Cups with both teams.

The line ups are long, but it's totally worth it because the coffee is amazing and the donuts are wonderful, but the best thing on the menu is the sandwiches. Try the chicken salad, you won't regret it.

R55 - Servers in Canada earn a minimum wage of at least around $9-10 an hour. Not $2, like in your 'advanced' country. R56 is engaging in hyperbole, but making a good point.

Plus, why is it the responsibility of the customer to subsidize the wages of the employee? Wages are a matter between the employer and the employee - the fact that your servers must grovel for a living wage is despicable. The tipping culture only benefits the owners of restaurants.

R58 - I live in a country that adds a 10% service charge to the bill, or eat at mom and pop places where there is no tipping. Rarely, does anyone leave more, or tip at all - as it should be. Servers earn an equivalent wage to any other worker. I don't need to heed your self serving 'advice'. You're like the assholes, when anyone criticizes 'America', you instantly spout out - 'If you don't like it here, you can move'. Instead of trying to fix problems, you engage in simplistic nonsense.

( we've tried a few times in the past just to test the system and see how long it took to descend into madness down there , btw 3 days is it, after 3 days , with no power, you'll resort to savagery and start shooting each other over the last bag of Cheetos at Walmart.. , so show some respect or we could will flick the switch and you'll be living in the 1870's in the dark eating each other until we decide to turn it back on or maybe leave it off for a good long while to teach you a lesson, bitches.

Anyone in the red area of this map gets all their electricity from our dams, and those areas would go dark instantly if Canada cut the power the blue area is Quebec, the yellow area is the western grid which get a majority of its electricity from Canada approx 80% , it would fail as a cascade effect of power faqilures. The one place that does not fall under the Dominion of Canada is the goddamned Green area in Texas, but the way Texans feel about the rest of America, they'll likely cheers Canada on as we return the rest of the USA to the Dark Ages

Canadians are known as kind and down to earth, the complete opposite of obnoxious and cocky Americans. Canada also has beautiful scenery, from BC to NS and every province in between. I'd say overall Canada has a much better reputation here in Europe than the US, yet people are still WAY more obsessed with the US, and know more about the country. The US is a superpower after all, and well.. the US has been very important to Europe throughout history. We can't really deny that they helped us out fighting the nazis and even in the aftermath of WW2. But even so.. I think people in general like Canadians more. The stereotype of nice Canadians is true, of course there's exceptions (Bieber, Rob Ford, Harper etc), but most people find it hard to say anything bad about the country or the people.

Canadians tend to value their privacy and personal space more than the US. Issues like abortion, gay marriage, equal right, how to finally exterminate the last of those goddamned Indians, bilingualism, religion, have all been done and settled a decade ago or more. We just legalized prostitution and assisted suicide, with barely a blip on the radar screen, can you imagine getting those laws passed i in the USA?

Canadians do not like to have some of our less stellar traits ( in the eyes of the rest of world anyways) when they bitch about our fur industry, the seal hunt, ourNative Indian Mandatory Sterilization Program, Attacking our dear neighbours on Sept 11 , and making it look like Arabs did it, hiding Hitler all these years, , Euthanasia Policies for the Feebleminded and unattractive, The Extinction of the Eskimos , creating Ted Cruz in a lab then unleashing him on you, Exporting and Promoting Asbestos to Third World Countries , Keeping all your runaway slaves and not about telling them that thing Lincoln did , Cheating like hell in the Winter Olympics, small little things like that, otherwise Canada is close to perfect as far as anyone outside of Canada can tell, and it better stay that way or we get really really mad.eh?

R142 is typical of the genre. I have been hassled by Canadian customs REPEATEDLY, whereas American customs has always been nice to me. In 1986 when I was on my way to Montreal, my boyfriend had an exercise wheel he brought with him, and they destroyed it trying to find drugs (which there weren't any and no they didn't have any dogs). They also hassled me because I brought up a couple bills to pay on my vacation and they thought that meant I would be "doing business" in Canada and therefore had the wrong visa. It was excruciating. Then in Cornwall in 2002 when I was on my way to Toronto gay pride they took me in a room and interviewed me for like an HOUR on everything and every person I knew in Canada. Certainly the worst customs experiences I've ever had. Frankly, I think they did it in both cases because they were bored. As for the "nice" examples provided in the article, they are commonplace courtesies that you would expect from any American middle class person. His claim that there is something "passive aggressive" about Americans saying "Have a Nice Day" is revealing his own bias, not theirs.

r197, You're spot on there. With lack of easy access to handguns, Canadian serial killers have to get creative, and sometimes the results are SPECTACULAR !

Murder by guns is not unheard of up here, we just call them "hunting accidents", and rifles are easily obtainable from most big store like Canadian Tire, Home Hardware, even Walmart. The great advantage over handguns is the accuracy from a distance and being able to shoot your intended victims from a greater distance, and then having the RCMP conclude it was a "tragic hunting accident" . For some strange reason the majority of these "accidents" always seem to happen during the first week of hunting season.

Being right wing in Canada is equal to being FDR at the height of the New Deal era in the USA. Harper was a control freak who ruled his own party with an iron-fist, but on the other hand he was a university educated economist whose steady fiscally conservation policies kept Canada out of the last major meltdown that hit the world in 2008 . Hopefully our hunky new drama teacher turned PM can maintain Canada's past record of slow and steady economic policy, which he seems to be doing a good job of so far.

Trust me when I say most Canadians look on in utter disgust at what the USA has become and that is a land of freakshows where reality television stars as seen as royalty with one in particular about to become the next POTUS.. Canada in general does not tolerate insane public figures making racist, sexist, homophobic statements while under the guise of "free speech" like the USA does on a daily basis with their politicians, religious leaders, talk show and radio hosts spewing their venom. In Canada it is considered repugnant and in some instance qualifies under Canadian hate crime laws while in the USA it is considered freedom of speech.. That shows you one major difference between Canadians and Americans..

The things that Republican politicians say and do on a daily basis in the USA that attack minority groups and gays for instance would have them thrown out of public office in Canada by voters if a politician tried that same bullshit.. Harper's attempts on imitating the Republican stance on Muslims was one reason Canadians voters threw his government out of office and why Justin Trudeau's Liberal party now has a majority.. No Canadians do not envy Americans at all and many are thankful they don't have out of control gun violence with the NRA owning politicians, health care costs that force people into bankruptcy and most Canadians would agree on one thing if you asked them if they would you want a Donald Trump to run for PM of Canada.. Fuck No!

Actually R271 the Trump International Hotel is a great hotel, perfect downtown location and it is consistently ranked in the Top 5 Hotels in Toronto, according to Tripadvisor. So just to set the record straight if anyone is planning a trip to Toronto here some true info ...

The 4 Seasons is currently # 1 ( the location is not downtown, but in Yorkville which is currently just a mass of condo construction all around the hotel, so I would not recommend it for at least another year until the condos are finished...which in Toronto seems to be never ending.

#2 is the Hotel le Germain Maple Leaf Square , right beside the Air Canada Centre within walking distance to the Rogers Centre , but also right beside an expressway in another part of downtown that has been nothing but condo sites past few years, but the rooms are very soundproofed, and it great for staying in town for a Bluejays or Raptor game, all easy walking distance, also serves a free breakfast for guests ( unusual for this city )

# 3 Ritz Carlton, one of the newer downtown hotels , I have not stayed there yet personally, but it's the Ritz so expect the best, it's a block away from Trump Hotel ( all these hotels are with walking distance. btw)

#4 is the Trump International Hotel and Tower, caters to business with very high end perks and services, is one of the only 5 star "pet friendly" hotels in Toronto. I went to the grand opening of the hotel and actually shook hands with Mr Trump ( so did about 3000 other guests and media, but he was very gracious, pleasant, stayed quite a while at the reception and actually he looks a lot better in person, but he also wasn't spray tanned the color of burnt sienna at the time either.

I work in the travel industry so when you say "nobody stays at Trump Hotel in Toronto" I just felt the need to let people know you have no clue what your talking about and if you are Canadian you must be from some high class place like Moose Jaw or Dildo , eh?

I will say again that Americans don't care about Canadians. To Americans, Canada is just a country that acts like America without the excitement and exoticism of being an American. Canadians do have an inferiority complex when it comes to America cause they are too close to American culture and technically America protects Canada. The US have the largest military in the world and any attack on Canada is an attack to America. NORAD is a United States and Canada bi-national organization charged with the missions of aerospace warning and aerospace control for North America. US military power helps protect Canada and it's aerospace so in reality we have a lot more in common then differences.

by Anonymousreply 381May 26, 2016 5:34 PM

For a country that prides itself up and down on free healthcare Canada sure does a shit job of it. As of the day of writing Pond Inlet, Nunavut has a whooping cough outbreak that it can’t possibly contain with the resources they have on hand. Before that it was tuberculosis, a problem that has never really been gotten a handle on given that another TB outbreak came in 2014. Staff and facilities are in short supply and consequently some iffy people get promoted for want of anyone else while others are worked to dust. When ranked in terms of quality healthcare it’s no surprise that the Northern territories hang out together at the bottom of the pack.

What’s even more fun about the healthcare problems of the North is that they’re compounded by other shitty problems incumbent to Ottawa doing diddly-dicking nothing while the place burned. Remember that bit about poverty? It drills way deeper. For instance, here’s a piece about the North having shitty dental care. Guess what? That reflects elsewise in your overall health. When your food is nightmarishly expensive and you have to make your money last it makes (short-term) sense to eschew healthful food choices in favor of relatively cheaper junk food. Shockingly a diet of soda and sadness doesn’t lead to better health outcomes.

You know what else doesn’t lead to good health outcomes? Severe mental illness! And you know what doesn’t help that? Severe linguistic barriers that prevent proper diagnosis and care in hospitals! Or not getting needed medications! There isn’t a single part of the system that appears to be functioning. And while I won’t pretend that the North doesn’t present challenges it is a hardly acceptable for a country that claims public healthcare as a national virtue to offer an endless bevy of suffering instead. As in Nunavut’s life expectancy is 10 years lower than the rest of Canada’s.

Like terrible hospitals? It’s one thing to have a shitty dilapidated mess of a hospital like Halifax’s infamous Victoria General; it’s quite another to have a hospital staffed with four doctors. This is a vicious cycle – as doctors are overworked the need for replacement becomes more urgent and the difficulties in attracting talent grow as the job looks more and more like a baffling mess of confusing kleptocracy and enormous barriers in both professional and personal life.

Like Newfoundland, the North disappears from the caker conception of Canada unless a topical, convenient facsimile of the place can be deployed to make-believe Canada into a liveable place. Nunavut and its myriad problems are simply nowhere on the radar in Canada and because of that things quickly fall to shit. I wanted to showcase some examples of pathetic healthcare indicators in Canada because of how important healthcare is to the caker identity. Except when, y’know, you do a piss-poor job of it and return to ignoring the problem as per usual.

When you take the country and break it down into regions broadband connectivity and speed becomes even more obviously broken. Certain areas of the country have tolerable (not even good – tolerable) Internet connection speeds. The Canadian government’s standard of 5mbp up/1mbp down is ridiculously slow considering that the Europeans are calling for 30mbp access by 2020. But even that listless goal is not likely to happen in much of Canada. British Columbia has speeds lower than those found in Iraq, and it’s not even the worst. Even the best-off Canadian provinces don’t meet European standards:

There Younge and Dundas Square is a poor imitation or wanting to be like NYC Times Square. New York sounds cooler and therefore easier to market and in reality NYC is it's own city. Montreal is it's own city that Canadians can be proud of it has the charm, history and great qualities which is why French Canadians see themselves as being different from English Canada. Inside Canada there is civil war between French Canada and English Canada, Justin Tredeau who is French Canadian saved bad stereotyping of Canadians with the Rob Ford mayor.

R394, you must be under the impression that bigger is always better. Not everyone wants to live in a world capital. If someone is very ambitious and wants to see if they can make it in theatre or movies or high finance, then they'll move to New York or L.A. and see how far they're career goes. But I wouldn't be surprised if even now many people want to live near where they grew up, assuming they didn't grow up in a very economically depressed area or they're not a gay person from a very conservative, small town. I like to visit New York but I wouldn't want to live there. If someone isn't making that much money, it must be a very stressful place to live. That's all right in your twenties but not so much after 40. I'm sure if you're a well educated professional and make very good money, New York is a good place to live.

Actually there's not a huge number of American cities with really upscale stores. The usual list is: Boston, San Francisco, NY, LA, Chicago, Dallas, Miami (Bal Harbor), Costa Mesa, Las Vegas, maybe King of Prussia near Philadelphia and Troy, Michigan.

In America there is Wall St and Main St, and generally small business are more essential in small towns and certain historic neighbhorhoods. Each American city is divided off on social class unfortunately so in a minortiy community you will see more Foot Lockers, City Blue, FUBU stores whereas in a rich area you will see more upscale stores. American cities all each have pockets of hipster stores. American cities are so different from each other you can't really put them together and make them similar. Each lifestyle is different.

R424, the three most important cities worldwide for luxury retail are London, Paris and New York. Not everything is about the U.S., although it is an extremely important player in the luxury market. There are also wealthy Europeans and wealthy Asians who like to travel to London and Paris. The Dior flagship store in Paris is a little more impressive than the Dior boutique in Chevy Chase, MD. I'm not exactly sure which American cities and towns have the smallest, lamest versions of Saks Fifth Avenue or Neiman Marcus, but whichever they are, they don't count as luxury retail destinations. Anyways, this whole discussion started with the comparison between Toronto and Tulsa. There is no question that there is more luxury retail in Toronto.

Toronto is larger than life. The CN tower is larger than life. So is the Rogers Centre. So are the buildings near the intersection of Bay and King, and the houses in The Bridle Path neighbourhood. Plenty of American cities don't have symphonies, ballet and opera companies, and theatre scenes of the same quality as those in Toronto.

I like New York but it's not a very beautiful city. It has more than its share of buildings that are just "meh" or downright ugly. Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker used to own 20 East 10th Street. They were asking $25 million for it. If you walk along 10th Street between University Place and Fifth Avenue, you can't even tell you're in an expensive neighbourhood because the townhouses are very plain and drab. At least when you're in Belgrave Square or Eaton Square in London, it's obvious you're in a wealthy neighbourhood.

Speaking of Toronto, here's a late breaking story about a Toronto boy, an heir to his fathers tract home building fortune, who moved to Los Angeles ( the 4th largest Canadian city in terms of number of Canadians living there ( about 1 million) .

This Toronto lad has done Canada proud by committing a spectacularly gruesome torture and murder of a woman, in West Hollywood, who was found drained of all blood ( he may have drank it ) , she had been tortured and mutilated and had indecencies committed with her body. He had been barricaded inside their West Hollywood home for days with the body.

See that America, you don't need a gun to kill people, with some good old Canadian creativity and that "Can-Do" spirit , you can make the headlines even in a city that doesn't shock all that easy, like Tulsa, or on this case LA.

Told you we were hard-core.

An artist and screenwriter from a prominent Canadian family was charged Tuesday with torturing, killing and draining the blood from the body of his girlfriend at their West Hollywood apartment.

Appearing in a Los Angeles courtroom, Blake Leibel, 35, pleaded not guilty to felony charges including murder, torture, mayhem and aggravated mayhem, according to the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office.

Leibel is accused of killing his 30-year-old girlfriend, Iana Kasian, sometime between May 23 and May 26 at the apartment in the 8500 block of Holloway Drive, prosecutors said.

Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies came to the apartment on May 26 on the request of Kasian’s mother, who asked them to perform a welfare check, Sheriff's Deputy Sara Rodriguez said.

Inside the flat, deputies found a grisly scene.

Before she was killed, Kasian had been tortured, her body mangled. “All of her blood was drained from her body,” the district attorney’s office said in a statement.

Leibel had barricaded himself in the apartment, putting furniture and bedding to block the door, sheriff’s Lt. Dave Coleman told reporters. He seemed “agitated and uncooperative,” Coleman added.

[quote]An artist and screenwriter from a prominent Canadian family

"Prominent"? That's a fucking laugh , his father built tract housing subdivision in the Toronto suburbs, shoddy cracker box shacks sold at grossly inflated prices top the unwary Asians. The only thin "prominent " in that family are their great big hooked noses.

His imdb says he was a "creative consultant" on an animated "Spaceballs" cartoon based on Mel Brooks movie, He was a world class gamer apparently.

Sounds like Papa sent he freak out of the country before he could be a embarrassment and got him so work through the Hollywood mafia. His father was like a very low rent version of Trump, Real Estate developer is Canadian for "slum lord"

The rest of the story should be mildly entertaining.

Not sure if it was something related to the murder in LA but I just forwarded a link to that site to the toronto star newspaper...in case they want to see it before it vanishes.

Wow, I wonder what the heck is going on in that family?

That's because a lot of Americans are rowdy drunks, or cocaine or meth addicts. Canadians are sensible and sober.

Never met a Canadian I didn't like or not get on with, and I've done a lot of business there in the past. Toronto and Montreal are world-class cities, IMHO. I find their way of relating to people familiar. Many of the men are sexy and good looking too. Almost all the best hockey players in America are Canadian, so you Americans should at least be grateful for that!
