I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm a whining Canuck, but god dammit, dude. Saying America Jr. is way past old and was not even that funny in the first place.

I wasnt aware it was possible for you to run out of canada jokes Sean..

Ah.. shut up.



Once again, I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm whining, but I'm getting really annoyed about all of the Canada jokes. They were fine before, but now they're just pathetic. Let me get this to your heads. We do not have pet beavers or moose. It's not winter all-year round and we don't live in igloos. We're not lumberjacks, we don't say 'eh' after every sentence and we definitley do not say aboot. And we don't all of strong french accents.

Also, I know this is pretty sad, but I read a post on another message board saying that Canada worshipped a Beaver-king.

:lol: So I take it you dont Like the Red Green show then? ;)

I love Canada! So many shows i used to watch were filmed there, and the place has such beautiful scenery...I'm about...yeh, I'm about 1/2 Nova Scotian. My mom was born there, and My Dad's family comes from canada too, So I like to consider myself an honorary Canadian... :D

I actually like Canada a lot too, if for no other reason than they gave us Bret Hart, but I also make it a point to make fun of everyone and everything. :P

But most of the few Canadians I've spoken to/heard speak did say "eh" and "aboot" or at least one or the other. I'm sure not everyone does though. It's like how everyone says New Jersey people have accents when they don't.

Canada has all the good wrestlers! Benoit, Bret Hart, Owen Hart (RIP) Jericho, Lance Storm, Edge and Christian.

I'm Canadian and no one I know says "aboot" or "eh"

I'm pro-Canada for a number of reasons. Rather than list them, I'll just get to the meat of my arguement: Go Oilers.

Yeah, I used to live in Edmonton. Perhaps that alone warped my perception, but it's one of the few places I lived that the fond memories outweigh the bad.

Plus, I've learned that there are a few things that can bring everyone together, despite their nationality. Love, tragedy and the fact that everyone is kinda weirded out by the French. (Cajun and French-Canadians need not apply. Sorry Tennesee!) Agreed?


And on the topic of flags, I have been known to proudly fly the Rackham Jolly Roger on days of national or international celebration. It wards off not only the Royal Navy, but those pesky neighbourhood kids as well.

I'unno... I've seen "Wrestling With Shadows" a buncha times and Bret's wife, sisters and kids all have very strong accents, particularly his sister Ellie. I didn't hear any of them say "eh", but they definitely pronounce "out" more like "oot".

Not that it's bad or anything, everybody talks differently. The one thing I do hear is NJ people tend to say "fuhgetaboudit" a lot, but so do people in New York and Maryland. What I can say is that I have lived in NJ my whole life and the only people who say "Joisey" are people who came down from New York. If anything, we really stress our R sounds.

I was born in Texas, but my voice sounds more "normal" than normal, if you get my drift.

Now, one of my apartment PAs, on the other hand: if you thought that "southern" accent for both guys and girls portrayed in cheesy cowboy movies was nothing more than a fake, OVERstereotypical accent...wrong. This girl is straight out of one of those movies, no joke!

Seriously, I don't have a clue about the "oot". Maybe you heard some Scottish or French people talking. That's the only explanation I can think of. All of this aboot and oot stuff has really come out of no where. Oh well. I guess it just comes from your expierence of the way a select few of Canadians talk..

It's probably like any other regional dialect; some people do it and some don't.I'm guessing I don't have the "Texan" sound to me since both my parents are natural-born Yankees (dad was born in Massachusetts but raised in Fort Worth [next to where I'm living right now, heh], mom was born and raised in Michigan [yes, ben_wallace, you heard me right, MICHIGAN! Maybe your opinion about me will change now ;)] )...

Anybody who thinks the USA is the "land of the free" needs to visit Canada...

You know, maybe THAT'S why there're so many Canada jokes; we Americans are so envious of the more freedoms they have up there (e.g. no income tax, drinking age at 18 ).

Just a thought...
