I don't know. I just don't like it. I mean we have no culture no interesting history, and I really hate how every one thinks we say 'eh' and aboot. Which annoys me because oddly enough I don't say any of those, mainly because I don't have the accent.
Also thank you all for welcoming me. =)

well i think a remedy for your discomfort would be to read about canadian history and as for culture we also do pretty well for a first history lesson particulaly since this is an aviation website look up some canadian pilots Bishop Barker May Dickens Collishaw Fauquier Buerling Birchall and as for aircraft try the Arrow, Canuck the Jetliner the BCATP bush flying thats aviation alone and just touching the surfaceMonique said:

Sure you do. You can be proud of Canada being the best at being north of the USA!
Im kidding with you...

I sure hope you have lots of money, because trust me I know very very well first hand that Switzerland is very very very expensive.

Sure we have interesting history, it's just that we don't promote it very well. That's the problem, and young folks like yourself tend to grow up thinking that Canada has always been the way it is now: a wishy-washy place, where nothing much happens and nobody gives a damn. It weren't always so, me dear. If you're actually interested in your nation's history, do some reading. There's some stuff you can be proud of. 8)Monique said:
I'll agree with you on the culture point though. It's more diluted now than it's ever been, and it's only getting worse.
So you never say "eh", eh? Me either, eh.
But not one Canadian I've ever met has ever said "aboot". That's just some crap invented by US networks. Ever seen how they depict us on American sitcoms? Funny stuff.
Welcome Monique.
I here people say 'aboot' all the time...

Look here - I lived in Canada, I know your little secret you sneaky Canadians! You're not saying "EH" you're saying "AH" but you pronounce it "EH" and you only say it to Americans and its short for @sshole!!!!

Okay, I guess maybe Canada isn't too bad. But Switzerland would sure be better. =) I wouldn't mind moving to Austria either because that's where my great grand parents orginally came from. Or was it Germany? -has a bad memory-I always thought 'eh' was just another way of saying 'huh'. =P I never really thought of it as calling some one an arse hole.
._.' Square wheels? How is that even possible?

I grew up in New York around a lot of Italians, all US born. They would rant and rave how they would love to live in Italy among "their people." Some of them went there on vacation and got a rude awakening when they were received as total foreigners, even though they spoke the language. With that said, you may think the grass is greener until you go to another country for a long period of time and really see how little things let you know where your roots are really from....
