Well, it's time again to celebrate the wonder and the glory that is Canada! You know, there's a persistent stereotype that Canadians are extremely polite, perhaps even excessively polite.
I don't know where people get that idea.
In actual fact, we Canadians can get all worked up just like anyone else.
And we don't apologize more than other people.
We have our disputes and by gawd, we don't back down.
So please do not believe that false stereotype about our legendary politeness. Sorry if anyone has been misled by it. Thank you for your attention to this post.
Oh, I don't think that's true. Is it?

Happy Canada Day! But you can't fool me, I saw the Vancouver hockey riots.
I hope the meth lab next door is ran by a very intelligent chemistry professor!
Happy Canada Day!

Happy Canada Day! (Fun stuff)
you're like North American Switzerland! I love Canadian musicians and actors! And there are hundreds of thousands of my people living there
I love that quote
Happy Canada Day!
Happy Canada Day, Debra. And 'thank you' for this post :) *snicker...snort...giggle*
hahaha I love that last one! I was going to bring up hockey, but it's look everyone beat me to it :)
Happy Maple-all-the-things Day!
I don't know where you find these, but I'm certainly glad you do! Happy Canada Day, fellow Canadian!! :)
I have met a fair number of people from other countries in my lifetime. I have found the majority of American tourists (in America) are fairly rude. The exception being those of Southern upbringing or the elderly. Those I have encountered from Europe are polite but not chatty. But I have always enjoyed meeting Canadians, they are fun folks!
Happy Canada Day!!!
Laughing, oh yes fer shure!
Happy Canada Day Debra!
I snitched your post and shared it on my FB page!
People need to laugh I say!

We Canadians have a great need to laugh a lot!! Don't you think, Debra? And you helped us all out here!!
I really hope you agree and that I didn't offend you.
Happy Canada Day!
Ha ha I'd have to say your right we are the rowdy neighbors over here in the US of A ... I have always admired sweet Canada , but shhh you didn't hear it by me ~ sorry ;)
Happy Canada Day to you .
Happy Canada Day Debra. Thanks for providing my first laugh of the day!
OF COURSE THAT LAST STATEMENT IS SO "NOT TRUE'.
I really do believe Canadians are truly some of the finest people on the planet.....the are always "gardening" aren't they? LOL
Happy Canada Day.

I laughed so hard I have tears falling, oh my gosh you are good!
Happy Canada Day. Nothing wrong with showing up the rest of the world. Keep it up.
Robin Williams said it best about Canada is like a "nice apartment over a meth lab." Yes in deedy.
Happy Canada Day dear.
I've loved every minute I've ever spent in Canada. Not only are the people nice, but the flowers are beautiful. I couldn't get over the flower boxes on every corner in Toronto. In America, those impatiens would be pulled up, torched, and ground into the gutter. So, happy Canada Day!
Happy Canada Day!
Happy Canada Day!

I love it! Canada is a great country even if we aren't as "nice" as people say we are.
Yes. I do believe that Canada is an amazing place and I love to visit often! I hope you had an amazing holiday and I'm glad you enjoyed you some Don Cherry this morning!!
I like to visit that polite country occasionally, too! :)
Those are all pretty hilarious. And as always, enjoy your health care!

Hilarious! Our branch manager is Canadian; so nice!
I was hoping that you'd include the bathroom graffiti one: Your mom is a nice lady. :-)
I flew my Canadaderian flag..
Hilarious!
Happy belated Canada day!
i hadn't noticed before this but.. all the Canadians I've met have been very polite!
First one is hilarious. And I thought Rob Ford's had destroyed Canadian's reputation of politeness.
Hope you had a wonderful day! These are hilarious!
OMG these are hilarious!
