Things I hate about my country.
1. The stereotype that just because I'm Canadian, I have to be liberal.
2. The military is shit
3. This is a wimpy country
4. We have no money (Canadian economy=monkey shit)
5. The healthcare system is dying (yes, I'm aware that the idea of free public healthcare was invented by liberal communists or whatever)
6. We're the 51st State
7. We're not a real country
8. We're too liberal, except for when it comes to the healthcare system, which is also a big piece of monkey shit
Do you hate anything about your country?
Re: Things I hate about my country.
1. The stereotype that just because I'm Canadian, I have to be liberal.
That's a stereotype and has nothing to do with the country itself, just other's perceptions of it's population.
2. The military is shit
Our military is not only well trained, but makes a significant worldwide contribution (especially compared to the relative population of our country).
We have a storied military history which your ignorant comment disrespects and just because our military is underfunded does not mean it is sh*t.
3. This is a wimpy country
Tell that to anyone who plays team canada in hockey, gets in a mma ring with a canadian, or anyone who has engaged in combat against canadians, they will tell you different. Do not your own weaknesses reflect poorly against your country.
4. We have no money (Canadian economy=monkey shit)
We're one of the wealthiest country in the world. Do you even have a clue?
5. The healthcare system is dying (yes, I'm aware that the idea of free public healthcare was invented by liberal communists or whatever)
The healthcare system is in trouble I agree. But once again, it's still one of the best in the world.
6. We're the 51st State
How do you figure? Canada has it's own identity, set of laws, and is seen very diferently from the states around the world.
7. We're not a real country
This comment is too stupid to address.
8. We're too liberal, except for when it comes to the healthcare system, which is also a big piece of monkey shit
See my answer to comment 7.
Do you hate anything about your country?
Mostly uneducated morons who make negative comments without any supporting evidence. Feel free to leave Canada anytime. Judjing by your attitude it would be an action that would only make this country better in the opinon of others.

I'm more or less arguing over the uneducated comments of an ungrateful citizen. And it's not so much a piece of land as it is an identity , a history and a concerted effort by many people.

Your obliqueness astounds.
1. That nudity isn't allowed on basic TV, but showing murder and violence is a-okay.
2. Our president. I don't really hate him, I just think he's pretty shitty.
3. That much of the outside world hates us or thinks we're inherently stupid.
4. Prostitution isn't legal in most places.
5. So much violence, I don't know about other countries, but the news here in always such a downer, about children getting raped and killed, about some old lady getting shot by accident during a gang fight.
6. Hockey isn't on very often, I like Hockey.
7. People here always look for someone to blame whenever something bad happens. Usually their blame falls on ridiculous targets, like video games, movies or music.

Re: Name 5 things you dislike about your country.

Don't bash other countries, but what do you hate about your own?I live in America, so I guess I'll start.
Hate:
1. Limited freedom of speech. This has always bothered me, yes I know speech can be harmful, but why put it in the constitution if you can ban it?
2. Drug war. This is pure evil, war on SOME drugs. Meth is rampant and growing, but they seem to want to keep harping on pot. Pot! Ugh.
3.Political Correctness. Well, this is sort of connected to the free speech thing, but it's more of an unwritten rule that allows people to be over sensitive and force their beliefs on others because it's seemingly the "right" thing to do. I don't always want to do the right thing, stop badgering me. Sometimes I want to call a white guy a cracker, and surely he wants to call me a ******, but what the hell, no biggie. Do it.
4.Feminism/Anti-Male. This makes me angry towards women and it's rampant in American society. Look at the media/sitcoms, the husband is always a big fat dumb guy who is just lucky that his wife allows him to be around. I never had any problem with women until I met my first feminist. Now I'm a pig.
5. Race Relations. Of course it's only natural to have an innate sense of racism, but some think you should be colour blind, which is insane.
Race really isn't even an issue, but more culture based bigotry. Still, it's natural.
This guy's right, especially on 3 and 4. As for Canada (where I live):
1. We're horribly liberal/left wing. We give gays, women and minorities special treatment. We're so PC that we can't even use words like "black". Marijuana is practically legal. We allowed same sex marriages and give goddamned junkies free drugs (at taxpayers' expense, of course) and "safe injection sites" instead of dealing with them like we really should. When we go to war, we're more worried about "offending" the stupid Arabs/Nazis/whatever than we are about the fact that they want to kill us. We bend over for immigrants and give no respect to the real Canadians. We're so faggity that the only trait that can identify someone as a Canadian is if they're a broad, a frog or an Indian (though I guess I partly fit the bill, since I'm 1/8 Chippewa). When we caught those two Sikhs or whatever who did the 1985 Air India bombing that killed about 280 Canadians, we let them off easy. Know why? Because they're members of a visible minority and a minority religion. We let Carla Homolka off easy. Why? Because she's a woman. The most common disease in Canada isn't cancer or AIDS...it's political correctness, and we seem to have no cure, despite our reputation as a country that's a center for medical research and advances.
2. The military gives dog shit a bad name. Name a country we could invade on our own. Does anyone know about the Oka Crisis? That the soldiers were routinely whupped in combat by a bunch of civilians with no military training armed with a bunch of old AK-47s was the least embarassing part of it. We haven't shown even the vaguest sense of military ability since WW2.
3. We're incredibly wimpy. We bend over and spread our ass cheeks for any country that even looks at us funny. Spain, Greenland, Iceland, Denmark, you name it. We're afraid of countries weaker than us. No matter what happens, we never put up a fight.
4. We're the 51st State. When America tells us to jump, we don't say no. We just ask how high. We're still a colony, and the only difference is that we're America's, not Britain's.
5. We're not a real country. Any country (except America) that was ever a colony cannot be considered a real country. And despite that we supposedly left the British Empire about 70+ years ago, we still have a queen (notice how we're such a wimpy country that our master is a woman instead of a man/king), monarch, sovereign, governor general, royal anthem, etc. When the British come over to visit us, we start bending over and spreading our ass cheeks like we're still their colony.
6. Know why the Americans laugh at our economy? Because it's a joke. Except that this one's not funny.
7. The healthcare system has pretty much gone down the tubes. So we're always too liberal, except for when we actually should be liberal.
8. What the Hell are we going to do with this tiny population? It should be as big as America's. That's the only way we could cover the landmass and/or have and support a military big enough to keep the country safe.
9. This place is full of goddamned Franco-sapiens. That on its own is reason enough to hate this place.
Excuse me for putting the same thing there twice, I didn't know that the other thing I made was already there. But the second one has more detail. And as for how wimpy we are, I should also note that our idea of a war hero is some old queer who feels sorry and sad and shit for people instead of a guy who actually kills enemy soldiers. That's not a war hero. And another thing I hate about this retard country is that we don't matter. We're nowhere near as powerful as my left nut. When we have an opportunity to be involved in a major world matter, do we take it? No, we sit and twiddle our dicks with our thumbs like a 90 year old retard in a mental home. We have a severely retarded policy of not-having-anything-to-do-with-anything. Why do the Americans say that we don't matter? Because they're right. We don't.
And if you think that our "military", as it dares to call itself, has the ability to actually fight a war, then you're sadly mistaken. In the Oka Crisis (notice how something that happens commonly and regularly in the States and is treated as nothing there is somehow a "crisis" up here, even though it didn't even involve nuclear, biological or chemical weapons):
-The soldiers were helpless at the hands of a merciless beating from a bunch of ordinary unarmed civilians
-the soldiers were routinely whupped and scared off in combat like little girls by a bunch of ordinary civilians who had no military training and a bunch of old AK-47s
-they got scared when it was night time because the supposedly "modern" Canadian military can't even get night vision goggles
-two ordinary civilians (reporters or journalists or whatever) casually and easily snuck past Canadian military security
