[B]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. [/B]

I think Whob is really American and wants to make fun of the canadians.

Things I hate about the UK

1. Too many immigrants
2. The government doesn't listen to its people, they've been piggy-backing America for too long
3. Far too over populated

Can't think of any more at the moment.

Re: Re: Name 5 things you dislike about your country.

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.

You speak of these issues with little or no knowledge. Your simplification of the issues and your racist and ignorant remarks is not so much offensive as pathetic and sad.

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.

Talk to our allies who served with us (or those who fought against us) in Afghanistan and Bosnia as well as all the other places that Canadians have served around the world in the last 60 years.

Once again, your lack of knowledge is only eclipsed by your hostility. Just barely though.

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.

Examples please? I suggest that you are a powerless and nameless individual who is projecting what he hates about himself on an removed identity of himself.

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.

Yes, hence our reason for following the U.S. into Iraq and the conting debate over trade relations...oh waite......

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.

From these comments I suspect you are an american trolling for reactions...either that or idiot...or both.

6. Know why the Americans laugh at our economy? Because it's a joke. Except that this one's not funny.

Another reference to americans? You've played your hand once too often.

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.

Now you just aren't making sense.

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.

A military expert are you now? I think you need not worry about Canada's safety.

9. This place is full of goddamned Franco-sapiens. That on its own is reason enough to hate this place.

Then leave, and nice racist comment thrown in. You're a class act.

1. Too much racism against immigrants who help keep the economy afloat...
2. The ridiculous drinking culture...
3. The governments ability to shaft anyone who earns less than 50k a year...
4. Shit public services, bus, rail, hospitals etc...
5. The assumption that we're british... we're not, we're irish...

I hate the administration, not the people (well, not all of them)

Aside from the major things, I guess it's a minor thing that annoys me. It's the cultural thing. It doesn't bother me that our culture is mainly non-American. It's just that we don't really have a hand in it.

That's because he doesn't really live in Canada.

Australia;

1. Our PM is a backflipping b*stardo, declaring he would never introduce the GST, then doing it, making loans to nations in need of help he knew they could never pay back, kissing George W Bush's arse at any given point and sending troops into a war that people thought was a bad idea. Unfortunatly, at the moment its better the devil you know, none of the other party leaders look any more capable.

2. The government (get used to it, they're my biggest gripe at the moment) change laws constantly about marijuana. I know this is me being upset about a indulgence, but the last people you want to confuse are stoners. Make a decision and let it stick for a while.

3. The way most of the good bands dont tour over here. We have had a pretty good run as of late, but being so friggin far from England, America and Europe makes touring over here expensive, so the smaller but still awsome bands dont get a chance to tour.

4. The newspapers. The decent paper we have (The Age) is a broadsheet, and while thats more a annoyance than anything, it makes it impossible to read on the train/tram. The most common tabloid paper is good for sport and the BIG issues of the day, but if you want more than just a little news and no real world news, you dont bother. Victoria needs a happy middle ground on this one.

5. The "Americanisation" of our country. I understand that Australia is a "multi-cultural" country and we adapt to all the different peoples who come here, but everything is becoming so painfully American. We import so much of Americas terrible day time tv, our culture is slowly dissapearing into the background between Starbucks and Subway.

Melbourne has an unbelievable music scene, it's just that hardly any of them are signed, or if they are, they're not known.

Then again, that depends on taste.

melbourne is on my list of places i am gonna visit before i die.

yeah, there's a ton of great venues who will let anyone who wants to play play, but like you said, so many great bands that are unsigned and go unsigned for years. Its a shame, the music scene here (well the indie store side of it) is pretty serious trouble at the moment.

For sure, its a great city, even if our music scene is a bit unrecognised by the labels. Defiantly worth a visit.
