Warning: (Some) Canadians are dumber than you think
I'll be the first to say I feel sorry for (some) Americans. The way they're treated internationally, the way their country is viewed, the way their President is, all contributes to a horrible stereotype of an American. You know the kind I'm talking about. They're a small part of the population, but they exist.
I'll also be the first to say that (some) Canadians don't fare much better. Our obesity problem may not be as severe, but some Canucks are equally as ignorant. It's unfortunate when you meet retarded people on the road (because you'd think that those that get out of their box would learn to expand their minds a bit). And it's even more unfortunate when those retards are your countrymen!
I had to go around telling people about "those Stupid Canadians" all day. Ah, the irony.
I meet two Canucks and had to share living space with them. Let me reiterate how stupid they are. First of all, we're in a tiny village off the coast of the Carribbean in Colombia. Super poor fishing village with a sewage problem. Stupid Canadian #1 was telling me how he took a shower but was appalled at how hot the water was. So he decided to LET THE WATER RUN FOR 20 MINUTES IN HOPES THAT IT WOULD COOL DOWN.
He was appalled at the hot water?! I was appalled at his stupidity! We're in the freaken Carribbean! It's 100 degrees (40 celsius) outside!! Why do you THINK it's hot?? Because the bloody pipes are boiling the water you imbecile!
Honestly, I was furious because the village doesn't have fresh water so they have to import it every week. Local people can't afford it, so they bathe themselves with small cups of water every day. It's really sad. He wasn't aware of this situation, but what logic-minded person goes to 3rd world countries letting the tap run for 20 minutes at any given day?
And then there's Stupid Canadian #2. This guy was even worse, if it's even possible. So I was sharing my story about being robbed and he told me he was also robbed in Peru.
Me: Oh no! What happened?
SC2: It was in LIma and we met this chick and she took money from me.
Me: What? Was she a local girl?
SC2: No man! I dont' know what the hell she was. She went out for sushi ad she took money from my pocket.
Me: I don't get it. She wasn't a local? So was she a traveller? Did she speak English? What, did you guys hook up?
SC2: Yeah we hooked up. We got it on in the hostel after she came onto me. And then I went to the next room, and she took $40 from my pants!
Me: Ok, I'm not following. You say she's not a local then where the heck is she from?
SC2: Oh she didn't speak English. She was from, like, 20 minutes away.
Me: What are you talking about? Just because a Peruvian lives 20 minutes away doesn't make them any less of a local! And let me get this straight. You met a Latina who didn't speak English. And you don't speak Spanish. You had sex right away with a chick you JUST met .. and then she takes money. YOU DIDN'T GET ROBBED YOU IDIOT YOU HAD SEX WITH A FREAKEN PROSTITUTE!!!
Suffice it to say, I am very ashamed to cheer for the same national sport and wave the same maple leaf flag as those two morons. There should be a new law, or some sort of intelligience/common sense exam before letting stupid people out of the country. Otherwise they just make Canada look bad!

The second guy needs to get tested for STDs...
I think every country has bad stereotypes, granted, I believe Americans get the worst of it, but we are all going to say something bad about another country. We view countries as a whole, and generally see the bad of the country, but not the individuals of the country.
As for the Canadian who slept with the prostitute, that story made my day!!
we've got plenty of morons that live here in america too. it guess it's universal. i don't know what to say about being ignorant, it might just be because most people in the developed world are spoiled and don't understand how poor the POOR truly are where they don't have clean running water. the hot water thing boggles my mind. i live in florida now and the cold tap water is usually warm during the day.
fine, this entry was worth the wait. lol
ah duh
O Canaduh
boo to stupid people!
wow....i hope that guy used protection..........he's gonna go back home with a nasty infection! TOooooooooooo funny. Robbed. AHAHHA.
Good post ... kinda sounds like the american who wondered if we spoke english in Australia !
this entry made me smile. =]
i promise i'm an intelligent canadian!!
and man, those people are idiots.
I'm glad those Canucks are out and aboot so we dont have to deal with them at home.
were they from some remote fishing village in canada? awesome entry! :)
The normal distribution applies to any population. The question is, where is the mean?
hahaha funny
hmm..interesting...hah~ there's always some of them out there ...everywhere....O.o
being ignorant as i am, i think i would let the water run too, but probably for a minute, then realized that the water temp won't change and just deal with it.
that latina better be worth his money, and better be hella hot!!! i hope he's not infected with some sorta STDs.
funny blog.
i'm not a fan of the bay at all . . .
but when life calls, it calls:P gotta do what i gotta do . . . can't wait on chi-town forever! and i don't think they want me b/c they started interviewing other people they didn't interview the first round (my friend wasn't chosen the first time and she just was . . . it's too bad b/c she has a fellowship now. and i do too!)
yay.
and i'm not exactly in the bay but close enough. let's just say that i will only date guys who work at google and/or go to stanford now? lol.
LOL
thats right eh.
There are stupid people everywhere although I think the first guy was a lot worse than the 2nd. At least the 2nd guy got something it (STIs). I've been noticing this trend lately of people who have no empathy and that scares me...
If you can't understand another person, they are nothing to you and if they are nothing to you, then they are expendable. I could be paranoid, but yeah... I'm just sick of stupid shit people pull, thinking that the world revolves around them and when they group together, shit happens. Grow up bitches!
Were they younger guys? I've always liked (loved) Canucks (the men) because they are generally more considerate than Americans. Having lived in both US and Canada, I can't help but compare them. And I love them for their accent, it is just the way I'm used to, their speech is mostly crystal clear and neither too fast or too slow (compared with the Americans, right?) So that makes the Canadians appear smarter and in fact they do know more about the rest of the world than the Americans.
What I have experienced is that younger Canadians (except you LOL) know very little about the outside world or geography in general. They seem to be prouder, less humble than the older Canadians I've met also. Having interacted with some Canadian kids, I get the impression that the younger generation in Canada is getting more ignorant????
i have a few classmates that are canadian, and they don't really have any accent. If i didnt know any better i'd think they were californians, except the way they pronounce a few words.
