| Don’t You Hate When Americans Sterotype Canadians? | | 2008-08-06 10:59:00 | | This is the name of a group on Facebook started by Canadians - although not very popular.
“But you guys stereotype us too!”, they say in defense of Americans on the defensive of Anti-Americanism.
I mean, let’s all be realistic here. We both have stereotypes about each other. But which of these two stereotypes are more hurtful? [...] | | By: Waging a War on Anti-Americanism | | |
| | Canadians using Internet to download ... tv shows | | 2008-07-07 10:22:00 | | Canadians are turning on, tuning in and watching traditional TV shows on the Internet often using underground ways to access American programming, says a new study.
There's less online content available from Canadian broadcasters than is available from U.S. broadcasters, study author Alan Sawyer said Friday.
The lack of available content is resulting in Canadians using underground activity on | | By: News Alert | | |

| Fewer Canadians fishing for recreation | | 2008-06-25 10:25:00 | | Statistics Canada says fewer people are fishing for fun these days, which is good news for the fish, at least. The agency says 3.2 million adults bought fishing licences in Canada in 2005, down 25 per cent from the number who hit the water in 1995. Overall, it says, recreational fishermen are getting older - the average age is 48 for men and 44 for women. Anglers tend to fish for the same | | By: News Alert | | |
| | | Canadians losing it over losing hockey theme | | 2008-06-07 23:46:48 | | For the past 40 years or so, a TV show called Hockey Night In Canada has used a distinctive theme song that Canadians apparently can’t live without, as news of its last spin has set off a national uproar. The Canadian Broadcasting Corp and the song’s writer Dolores Claman have been at odds over their [...] | | By: MusicNews&Views | | |

| | | | | | Canadians and Americans Speak Up (Part II) | | 2008-04-24 04:29:34 | | This is simply a continuation from yesterday’s posting. I’d also like to mention that the purpose of both Part I and Part II of these entries is to challenge those people that have told me that I was overreacting to this phenomenon. Additionally, I was once one of those clueless people, in the past, that [...] | | By: Waging a War on Anti-Americanism | | |
| | Canadians and Americans Speak Up (Part I) | | 2008-04-23 03:12:02 | | I just so happened upon this blog that is written by a Canadian who sticks up for Americans and is against Anti-Americanism that is VERY prevalent in Canada. The author of this blog was asked by a Republican friend if we were hated by Canadians.
I was asked this question today by a new Republican friend of mine, [...] | | By: Waging a War on Anti-Americanism | | |
| | Canadians Do *Not* Have *Free* Health Care | | 2008-04-17 23:24:58 | | One of the most popular bullying tactics expressed by Anti-American Canadians is, “We have free health care haha!“.
Dear Americans, please do not let your friends to the North bully you into making you believe that, “you suck” because “your government has failed to provide 47 million with health insurance“. I’ve even had one misguided Canadian [...] | | By: Waging a War on Anti-Americanism | | |
| | Canadians are wondering if the same fate awaits the real estate market | | 2008-03-26 06:07:00 | | The U.S. financial sector has been rocked by subprime mortgages, which essentially provided a way into real estate for people who wouldn't qualify for conventional mortgages. But Turner told CTV.ca the real story is that housing prices in the U.S. got more expensive than Americans could afford.In Canada, real estate prices have essentially doubled in five years. Turner said he didn't think that was a "reasonable" increase.Over that period, household incomes have stayed essentially flat, he added.

| | Canadians and the basics of insurance | | 2008-03-06 10:14:58 | | Poll suggests Canadians don't understand the basics of insurance.A surprising number of Canadians lack a basic understanding of some of the most fundamental concepts of insurance, according to research conducted on behalf of the Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC).In a study of 3,220 Canadians, undertaken by the research firm Pollara, only a small majority (58%) of respondents knew that when a person pays for home and car insurance, the insurance company pools the money with other people's premiums in order to pay claims for all of a company's customers.A total of 41% of respondents incorrectly believed their money was:set aside to cover future claims by the individual who paid the premium (14%);used in some way unknown to the survey respondent (26%);used in some other fashion (1%).Only 28% of respondents correctly defined the word "indemnity" as "providing financial compensation for losses." Almost all (90%) of Canadian policyholders interviewed expressed confidence they had the right au | | By: Insurance Spot | | |

| | | N49 gives away iPhones to Canadians | | 2007-11-19 11:54:00 | | N49 gives away iPhones to Canadians TORONTO, Nov. 14 /CNW/ - N49 has launched an all-Canadian platform for local search and business reviews. www.n49.ca - part business directory, partonline community, and entirely democratic, n49 local listings are displayed in an order determined by how popular a business is with members. In an effort to encourage Canadians to begin writing local business reviews, the company will award one iPhone per week for the featured review ofthe week. Photos and even video can be added to enhance the reviews. The company's president, Rick Silver, estimates that Canadians are at least a year or two behind their American counterparts. "Online businessreviews," Silver notes, "are becoming an increasingly used resource for Americans searching for local businesses." He encourages Canadian smallbusinesses to send their customers online to write reviews. Businesses in major US cities, such as Boston, San Francisco, and Chicago, often havehundreds of consumer reviews on similar directories. "think of it as word-of-mouth advertising," Silver says, "and it is one of the most trustedways of getting your message out." The proliferation of online reviews clearly changes the game for localmerchants. "It's no longer about the plumber with the biggest ad or the one at the top of Google. It will be the local merchant or service provider with thebest online reputation," added Silver. To further encourage consumers to rate and review local companies, n49has also announced it will be running with DONATION DOLLARS until the end of 2008. With this innovative program n49 will donate one dollar to charity foreach and every qualifying business review written. Members can even select from a list of 25 Charities that will receive the dollars for their reviews."Our goal is to donate $100,000 to charity between December 2007 and December 2008," said Silver. www.Dining.ca. - Set up a free website, complete with hosting. - Register a free web address eg. | | By: PC and Technology - tips, reviews and how to's | | |
| | Damn Canadians! | | 2007-06-07 20:28:00 | | I love Blue.(Boy, that was awfully forward of me...)Just something about her makes me feel like we've known each other forever.If we didn't live so far away from each other, I'm certain that we'd be over at each other's houses all the time.It seems like, lately, whenever I'm at a store, I'll see a little item that screams out, "BLUE!" to me. And then I get a little upset because I can't buy it and ship it off to her. Maybe I'll start taking pictures on my camera phone and emailing them to her...Although, eventually, that would be just as expensive, I'd think! ;)Anyway - don't let her know that I think she's so cool. It'll get to her head, and then we'll have to deal with her ego... None of us want that! | | By: What the...?! | | |

| | Canadians Ignorant re: Afghanistan War | | 2007-05-14 21:14:00 | | Canadians support for our involvement in the Afghanistan war has fluctuated greatly since the campaign began. While everyone claims to 'support the troops', not all are in favor of the continued presence of our military in the war-torn nation. The great yo-yo of opinion dips when another fallen soldier comes home, and like clockwork causes one of the federal opposition parties to propose some half-baked cut-and-run idea like creating a time limit on a war. (STILL can't figure that one out, Stephane.)The Canadian public, particularly the younger generation of voters who are coming out of the over-liberalized, leftwing public education system, are forming their opinions on a mix of false, misguided, or downright wrong information. Worse, many are completely oblivious to the facts regarding the war itself.I have heard some interesting reasons for opposing our fighting this war: It's about oil; we weren't invited; the American's got themselves into this, therefore it's their war, no | | By: The Moderate Separatist | | |
