For people all over the world wondering if that person with a Canadian flag on their back is an actual Canadian - just talk to them. You’ll know.
Not if English is not their first language.
This has always been a thing.
The joke when I was you was “how can you tell a Canadian from an American travelling abroad? The Canadian only has one flag on their backpack.”
It used to be a cross we would bear, but if I see it in the wild now, I’ll probably get a knife and cut it off.
Fuck 'em. Yes, even the left-leaning, trying-to-fix-things Americans. Fuck 'em all.
Lmao, I have been wearing a Canada hat abroad for like 20 years. Half because I think it’s funny, and half because it consistently leads to awesome conversations.
As a polite Canadian, let me say this:
FUCK YOU you rotten bag of shit! May you wake up somewhere with no teeth.
“People need to understand that liberty and responsibility are two sides of the same coin.”
You deserve neither.
I hope people spit in your food everywhere you go.
Fix your effing country and you won’t need to pretend that you’re from a more humane society.
What if we would rather be Canadian but can’t afford to move, and aren’t special enough to breeze through immigration? What if we wish BC and the Pacific states could join forces and be a chill, socialist coast? Baja can come too.
What if your grandmother had balls?
Fix your country so you don’t have to wish you were part of a more civilized one. Don’t spread your pollution into our lands.
Sorry bud, I didn’t ask for my country to take this turn. I voted and worked against it. But then the election happened and funding got cut and I got laid off. It’s really hard to fight the system when you’re out of work, running down your savings and faced with literally $3500 of medical bills in the last 2 weeks with more to come and no diagnosis yet.
You might consider that lots of us are just as horrified at the US as you are, and that being a jerk at those that share your opinion doesn’t cast you in the most positive light.
As someone from BC, you can fuck right off. Fix your own shit. Don’t try to absorb BC into your nonsense.
Nothing new. I already met some in Europe 25 years ago. They told me they are from Toronto. “The beautiful west coast” 🤦🏻♀️
This has always been a thing.
This has been a thing for decades…
Buddy, if you’re gonna impersonate us you’re gonna have to pay us the tariff!!!
This is great, reads sort of like an onion article before the onion ran out of satire and got an overstock of reality
The Onion was ruined when VCs bought it. The Beaverton is still themselves, not a soulless corpse under the same name like The Onion.
That’s been a thing for generations now. To the point that as far back as the 00s, a Canadian flag on your backpack was a sure sign of being an American tourist/hiker/etc., but if said backpack was a specific brand made & sold exclusively in Canada, it was generally assumed you were a local. (or, at least an informed, savvy traveler)
Livid? Fuck off, sensationalism.
as soon as i can move there i won’t have to pretend
Have you considered instead just fixing your own place instead of moving and bringing your trash upbringing with you?
This has been advice I’ve heard literally my entire life as an American. People like Canadians way more than us. For good reason
