I'll guard the gates, while you force every sifter to watch the top Canadian sifts

Though the -10 degree weather isn't making me feel all that patriotic today, I upvoted this anyway. (and that's in celsius, by the way -- I have no idea what that translates to with your screwy American weather measurement).

I don't want to see a single downvote, else we'll ready the troops to march on the White House again!

Hmm. While I was born in Canada and currently live in Canada, my heritage is mixed; and I've lived in so many other countries that I've never been able to get behind any kind of patriotic fervour. So no upvote from me, but the rest of you canuckleheads knock yourselves out!

Well, I've spammed everyone I can think of. Any suggestions?

Blanket the population centres with leaflets?

I'm sure the votes will come in. You may want to start preparing the official announcement for Canada talk.

arvana: Patriotic fervor doesn't even enter into the conversation when we're talking about the greatest country in the world- it's a no-brainer! Think of how much better off the world would be if Canada, rather than the USA (led by the Bilderbergers) ran things!

I'm with you therealblankman, but I'm not sure if there's enough maple syrup to provide liquidity for the world's monetary system. In your scenario we might be forced to move to the inferior golden syrup standard.

The Maple Syrup gap will not be a problem once we've annexed Maine and the rest of the New England states- they've never really been a part of the USA anyhow. I mean come on... New ENGLAND!??? They'll collectively become our newest Territory.

aaaahhhhhh !!! I am torn ... I'm the biggest seperatist you can find ... ok upvotes but I'll trow poutine when the time comes and kick butt like the 22e regiment ... hate the red and white (I couldn't watch all the video give me a headack) ... love the bleu and white ... aaaahhhhh !!! torn apart here ...

in the name of good neighbor relationship with the ROC I'll upvote ... dont u dare tell anyone I know ok ...

Damnit...meant to downvote. Curse you Canadians...Curse you...

And here is another ... just because you are Canadian and I know it kills a little piece of Zifnab every time I do it.

If canada is so fucking great then stay the fuck up there. I'll take a wetback over a snowback any day.

I love Canada, the real home of the free.

@Rotty: iceback?

BTW, allow me to mention that, as great as I think Canada is (and as free and brave as I believe her people to be), ripping off the US anthem in the tags is probably asking for flames. People like their anthems and don't like them being monkeyed with, quite rightly.

I call them canadian baconbacks.

@MycH: I'm reminded of Jim Gaffigan's "hairy fatback" bit in his bacon standup

I would call them fatbacks... but I think such a clever bacon reference would be lost on them.

Oh, no no, I get it.

a couple of my friends moved to Canada these past years. they were all bitchin' about how cold it is. then they discovered Vancouver go, Canada!

I've grew up in Southern Ontario, lived for a bit in The Rockies and now have settled on beautiful Vancouver Isle. The more you see of Canada the more you appreciate it.

alright. what's all this aboot?

srsly though.
don't kill me, across Lake Ontario, when the Toronto front of the invasion begins.

i play euchre.

Just blame Canada!!

I recognize this strategy.... it's the cunning use of flags!

Promise? I haven't tried out the downvote feature yet, and they sure could use some new management over there.

Google says -10C is 14F.

That's one of those great, little-known Google features. You can do all kinds of conversions using queries like that.

You would be surprised at how poorly that fatback joke goes over with Canadian women.

Where in Europe is this "Canada", exactly?

I'm glad this was posted, so that the whole world may see Canadian imperialist jingoism with their own eyes. Rule Cadannia, eh? Well let me be the first to tell you that your universal health care stops promptly and with extreme prejudice at the 49th parallel. Keep your Marxist maple leaf to yourselves.

Like hell Maine will be.Sorry, but I like my meaningless dollar too much. Besides, most of northern Maine is already Canadianified. Hell, all of it is, really. It's the only state that displays both miles and kilometers on highway signs.

Damn. But you're not getting my lobster!

Come the revolution, brain will be first against the wall.

This beggar/homeless guy in Cleveland taught me that one - we had a good laugh because we were, of course, visiting from Canada, so we weren't sure how to respond to the question until he delivered the kicker.

brain, you have trifled with forces you can barely comprehend. Forces that have created beaver tails AND poutine.

^urination!!!

oh and I wanna downvote this so badly. But I don't think it's as bad as the Mexican National Anthem

Tags for this video have been changed from 'canada, your new benign overlords, bow down, worship, universal healthcare, greatness' to 'canada, your new benign overlords, bow down, worship, greatness, mangez de la poutine' - edited by calvados

There we go, a little francophonie in the tags now. Represent.
