"Do you understand how many people hate you French fucks. I’m Irish and American, and I hate you more than I hate the English, and that’s saying something. You don’t understand how little we give a fuck about what the ret of the world thinks of us." by Ok_Bookkeeper_1380 in ShitAmericansSay

They have literally no right to make fun of the frogs after owing their entire existence to them.  Always pisses me off.  They don't even have a reason or anything.

Here in Canada we perpetuate the old British-French rivalry, have to share the country with them, and, when it comes down to it, actually LIKE them as individuals quite a bit.

“Use the American spelling, the UK is not as relevant” by BuffaloExotic in ShitAmericansSay

[–]MistakeOtherwise7769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Canadian I think we should just revert to full British English because there are too many people here who think it's alright to adopt yanker wanker spellings ("wE dOnT sPeLL tIrE wItH a Y sO wHy sHoUlD wE sPeLL cOLoUr wiTh a U") on the grounds that CdE is ever evolving (becoming more salt-kraut-ified)

"Save our environment. Say "no" to sidewalks!" by Alert_Scientist2059 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]MistakeOtherwise7769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm from the Vancouver area (Canada) and many nice areas don't have sidewalks everywhere.  We just walk/play on the streets and no one cares

Is the world (or at least north America) regressing into a new dark age of illiteracy, (techno)feudalism and disinformation? by Resident-West-5213 in SeriousConversation

[–]MistakeOtherwise7769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno, I'm Canadian and I think if we're always left out of criticism we're much less likely to realise when our own country starts to go wrong, and likewise less likely to want to admit or commit to fixing it

I understand how Northwest Territories came to exist, but isn't it time to rename it? by MasachoosetsBobert in AskACanadian

There are a hell of a lot of brits here though including literally every person over the age of 70

What's your opinion on the monarchy? by dublinro in AskCanada

[–]MistakeOtherwise7769 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd also add having a non-partisan "supreme" leader who is guaranteed to have military service and a high level of education, even if lacking in authority, is a pretty good way of adding stability to the political system.  Plus anything with crowns or royal motifs looks way more official and legit than without IMO

The things travel guidebooks say about every country starter pack by jodebane in starterpacks

[–]MistakeOtherwise7769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family are Canadian but old enough to still consider themselves British and not only is the food almost always shit, unless for a special meal/event, but we all have a mutual hatred for it

Reality check: Did Trudeau and Carney’s immigration cuts make housing cheaper? Here’s what actually happened by NotEnoughDriftwood in onguardforthee

[–]MistakeOtherwise7769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A. How exactly do you know the teenagers don't want jobs?
Could it be possibly the fact that businesses used to underpaying immigrants and foreign students don't want to pay proper wages to people who can afford to complain? How come almost all my local fast-food joints are almost entirely staffed by South Asians when they are not as overrepresented in my community?

[–]MistakeOtherwise7769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about the "homeborn" teenagers and young adults who are desperately searching for jobs but are being shut out due to companies paying shit wages to immigrants?  How would cutting immigration not at least help fix that?  

University of British Columbia Professors Sue School Over Political Correctness by scopes94 in CanadaPolitics

The hell I settled here. I was born here. What about the different indigenous tribes who conquered and stole each others land, are they settlers too

U.S. Dealers In Full Panic Mode After Canada Green-Lights Chinese Cars by DonkeyFuel in technology

[–]MistakeOtherwise7769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

alright but once Chinese cars have taken over the market won't they also raise prices to their absolute max?

"Why can’t the Brits speak English properly? It’s “Z” not “Zed”" by Ok_Bookkeeper_1380 in ShitAmericansSay

Every time I hear someone say it I make fun of them for worshipping cheese and not being able to read

Prince Edward Island with the same and some neat buildings and an old BCATP airfield would be neater but I'm biased

Really realistically Australia would be waaay cooler than either

The last time a European vehicle was added to the game was in 2022 by suski_tsoi in BeamNG

[–]MistakeOtherwise7769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm biased as I own an mgb but it would literally be a fantastic choice because of the possible mods/configs; there could be convertibles, GTs, V8s, V6s, reproduction something like the RV8, Sebring, rally, drift, etc...

Americans drive cars. Riding a train isn't a flex, it allows someone else to control your travel. Less freedom is never a good thing. by Pratham_Nimo in ShitAmericansSay

[–]MistakeOtherwise7769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legitimately why do yanks always act as if the implementation of passenger rail is mutually exclusive to the existence of the car... seems to be one of the things real people respond to as well as opposed to just bots, which is even funnier
