Ignorant Americans and even some Canadians

[w0007740]

I live in Altantic Canada (Nova Scotia), and it makes me cringe to hear some of the ideas people have about this part of Canada.

 

I really don't know where some of you get your information. Some people seem to believe that Atlantic Canadians are not only Amish, but speak with a thick accent completely different from other Canadians. We do have a French speaking community, but the rest of the non-French community speak a pretty clear English.

 

I've never heard a Canadian pronounce "about" as "aboot", nor have I ever known anyone to say "eh".

 

I work in a call centre, and deal with many Americans. I'd be rich if I got a dollar for every time I heard, "in Nova Scotia do you have electricity, do you have cars, do you have phones? (No, we don't have phones. This is just a dream, I'm not really talking to you right now!)

 

And some Western Canadians have even been ridiculously ignorant enough to imply that we do not have phones and such. I've seen photos of the area I live in dating back to 1900, and guess what, there were even cars here then!!

 

These people have obvioulsy never visited Atlantic Canada, and are obviously not the sharpest knives in the drawer. (The average person has an IQ of 100, which isn't very high, so they must fall within this range.)

 

I've never been to Sweden, nor do I know much about Sweden, but I'm not going to assume that they all prance around in purple jumpsuits and sing Mary Had a Little Lamb all day.

 

Thank you to those who have half a brain.

The last thing I wanted to do this Tuesday night was spend several hours writing, editing, and typing this post. However, I needed to do it, because it's undeniably the best way to discuss the advantages of two-parent families, the essential role of individual and family responsibility, the need for uniform standards of civil behavior, and the primacy of the work ethic. First and foremost, I don't believe that we should all bear the brunt of Canada's actions. So when it says that that's what I believe, I see how little it understands my position. Why Canada would even pretend that it is the one who will lead us to our great shining future is beyond me. I alluded to this earlier, but if Canada can't be reasoned out of its prejudices, it must be laughed out of them. If Canada can't be argued out of its selfishness, it must be shamed out of it.

Obviously, you shouldn't automatically believe all the allegations I've been making, so let me elaborate a bit. I don't want to build castles in the air. I don't want to plan things that I can't yet implement. But I do want to lay out some ideas and interpretations that hold the potential for insight because doing so clearly demonstrates how to say that it never engages in depraved, slimy, or inconsiderate politics is unbalanced nonsense and untrue to boot. I want to give people more information about Canada, help them digest and assimilate and understand that information, and help them draw responsible conclusions from it. Here's one conclusion I unequivocally hope people draw: Canada should work with us, not step in at the eleventh hour and hog all the glory. I am clearly not up on the latest gossip. Still, I have heard people say that today, we might have let Canada leave us in the lurch. Tomorrow, we won't. Instead, we will sound the bugle of liberty. Canada's yes-men believe that Canada is as innocent as a newborn lamb. Although it is perhaps impossible to change the perspective of those who have such beliefs, I wish nevertheless to stand up and fight for our heritage, traditions, and values. For your information, it would be charitable of me not to mention that there is absolutely no evidence to support Canada's accusations. Fortunately, I am not beset by a spirit of false charity, so I will instead maintain that when I first became aware of its covert invasion into our thought processes, all I could think was how if I had my druthers, it would never have had the opportunity to subvert existing lines of power and information. As it stands, Canada parrots whatever ideas are fashionable at the moment. When the fashions change, its ideas will change instantly, like a weathercock.

Whether you call it "fascism", "masochism", or "blackguardism", it is alive and well in Canada's refrains. It's what convinced me that those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Of course, if Canada had learned anything from history, it'd know that that's just one side of the coin. The other side is that the law is not just a moral stance. It is the consensus of society on our minimum standards of behavior. Again, I have to laugh when Canada says that it should be a given a direct pipeline to the National Treasury. Where in the world did it get that idea? Not only does that idea contain absolutely no substance whatsoever, but it has never satisfactorily proved its assertion that it is not only acceptable, but indeed desirable, to perpetuate the myth that every featherless biped, regardless of intelligence, personal achievement, moral character, sense of responsibility, or sanity, should be given the power to skewer me over a pit barbecue. It has merely justified that assertion with the phrase, "Because I said so." Does Canada remember the hurt and hate in the eyes of the people it made fun of just so others would like it more? Even if it does, I'm sure it doesn't care, because there's an important difference between me and Canada. Namely, I am willing to die for my cause. Canada, in contrast, is willing to kill for its -- or, if not to kill, at least to coordinate a revolution. A final word: Canada's belief that it is its moral imperative to twist the teaching of history to suit its villainous purposes is pure and total fantasy... And with this being said, I think it is fair to say...

 

FUCK CANADA !!

I've actually been to Nova Scotia but it was years ago. I found it a very charming place if a little on the cool side. I don't remember an accent at all.

I think alot of Americans who have not traveled much have silly ideas about what its like in places they have never been.

I grew up near Boston, I have had Americans ask me if that was in the United States...I tell them "YES, the first one...!!!" I have also been asked if you can actually swim in the ocean in the New England area...

I'm from NS too, I'm guessing you work at Convergys, like so many others eh?

 

Are you Dartmouth or Halifax?

 

Who gives a shit about rednecks and Nazis out west?

 

If you encounter somebody so dumb to think that there are such under developped areas in Canada than you already know too much of this person, ignore them following this discovery.
