I would pose more as my fuking background before any other country.
Never have I seen or read anything that would tell me to 'pose' as a Canadian. |

When you get heckled nonstop over the war in Iraq when abroad, it's tempting to say you're Canadian because you're just tired or hearing it over and over. |

I just tell them to STFU or when I get home I'll tell George Bush that I saw WMD in their country |

who goes around touting they are americans when even visiting another country?
so hard to believe this. ppl don't get heckled. just stfu and go see the damn country. why else are you there?
the only way i can even possibly see this as a way out if for arab looking ppl like Lilith said. Other than that .... who the fuk would really go ALL out and say they are from another country? Quite fuking stupid.
It has to be a slim slim amt of ppl doing this. |

Canada has worked hard over the last 140 some-odd years to build a unique identity.
During WWI, Canadians were the go-to guys for tough assignments, jobs other had tried and failed to accomplish. Canadian soldiers developed a reputation for being the baddest motherfcukers on the block.
In WWII, Canadians fought with distinction; again capturing difficult targets and helping rid the world of tyrrany. Fighting alongside British, American, French, Australian and other allied forces to bring down the axis of evil.
Canada stepped up to answer the call in Korea, the often forgotten Canadian war.
Since Korea, the Caniadian identity shifted to that of a peacekeeping nation, soldiers of peace and justice.
Our role in the world as a moral compass and trusted proxy has been perverted lately because of our new right-wing government, but remains an understood part of our social identity.

...come the on. You can't be serious. :stongue:
You make it sound as if Canada has been a shining beacon for the world to follow - the perennial silver house on a hill we all look to for guidance.
The truth is that your "identity" is that of those who follow the U.S., and nothing more. You have no clout, and no one, I repeat NO ONE, looks to you as "soldiers" of any sort, even "peace and justice."
In truth, your "role" in the world is as little more than being a large body of land named Canada, and that's it. |

Shall we just hand Afghanistan back over to your control, then? See if you can manage that AND Iraq all by your lonesome.
Or let's see...Cyprus, East Timor, The former Yugoslavia, Gaza...etc.
How about just plain, old you.
This, right here, this attitude is why you are so lamented around the world. You have no respect for anyone else. It's all, 'thank god for the USA because we're the only ones in the world making a difference'. You have no concept of what 'Canadian identity' is, and no desire to find out.
I'm sure you're right though, we're just your little lapdog waiting to be annexed. :rolleyes: |

Way to take things too personally and completely out of context. I never said any of that, but you feel free to believe whatever you'd like - just understand that doesn't make it true (you certainly aren't holding down any of those countries on your own).
In the end, it's your delusion, not mine. :)
Canada's identity in the international community comes down to mounties, hockey, and maple syrup. Tough cookies if you want to tell yourself otherwise. |
