yup. ------- Let me just state at this point that: it is very late i am very tired i have just been reading upseting bigot websites i am very hungry i appologise for the following message in it's entirety, and tommorow i know i'll regret it. but not tonight. ------ i hate Canada Day. This hit me on the drive home from work today, when yet another radio commercial begged me to spend vast amounts of money to support my national pride on July the 1st. Eat me. Perhaps if the money were going to plant more trees, or save my beloved squeegie kids, or clean our air, or just in general make the country a better place. But no. Another year, another whack-off radio station trying to convince me that the Headstones(*) are a decent band. Eat me. I'm sick of this shit. I am not Canadian. I am human. I do not live in Canada. I live on earth, just like the everyone else, however my specific location and place of birth just happen to fall in the mid-south of a group of lines on a piece of paper known for taxation purposes as the country of "canada". I am not patriotic. I don't vote. Every year, specifically around holiday weekends, beer companies start playing these pathetic televison adds spouting the benifits of living within these lines. They tell us how fucking great we are and that we should be as loud and ignorant about it as most countries are. Incedentaly, that might just be the thing i love about 'us', we don't make a big deal about that shit. My favorite part of all this is that these are BEER commercials. They show these adds on holiday weekends. BEER: the substance that's directly responcible for KILLING more Canadians on holiday weekends than any other factor. Eat me. here's my commercial for ya- I am canadian. I hate beer. Don Cherry is the most annoying man on the planet. Real maple sirop tastes like crap. They cut down all our trees to build houses. I hate camping. I have only seen one real, live beaver in my entire life. I FUCKING hate hockey. Bob and Doug McKensie are not funny and never were. The Tragically Hip are an epidemic that must end. MTV owns Tom Green's ass. We're the second largest land-mass but we have no real culture at all. My name's Wisper and i hate canada day. oh! don't get me wrong, i can't stand July 4th either. Or any other blatent display of nationalism. I truly believe that partiotism is a virus that causes intolerance and war. National pride is a bullshit idea. If anyone really cared about this land marked as 'Canada' they'd do what i said before and clean up the fucker. But no. Sell more beer and promote some godawful bands(**) that keep coming back YEAR after year. And wave that white and red fabric around screaming about how great it is that you're not like those "gun-loving over-proud assholes" to the south. Please. Look in the damn mirror. In closing, i don't hate canada. I truly love that we don't have much of a military. I love that we have no NRA or 2nd ammendment to justify any ole' redneck owning guns. I just hate --[insert country here]-- Day. (*)although Hard Core Logo rules. (**)Disclaimer- not ALL canadian bands are godawful. Just most of them. I truly love a few. |
With the lack of a military, a shitty national anthem, Lindros soon to be added to be physically retired, the drinking age limit going up yearly, etc.. we need all the national pride we can get. |
Oh, and Don Cherry is just loud, not annoying (those qualities are easily mixed up) |

"FUCKING hate hockey"....I think maybe you should check the origin of your birth certificate... there has to be a mistake. I'm going to celebrate Canada Day by going to New York state for the day.....hehe. Fuck the French. |

the part where Callum Rennie licks a knife is delightful. |
I wish we could have "Waltzing Matilda" as our anthem. Or maybe even sumpin like "I Love to Have a Beer With Duncan". Or "Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport". |
I lied to all the kids at school about Australia and told them we didn't have running water and everyone rode horses to work. I should go back and confess. |
anacreon was a greek lyric poet who wrote mostly about love and wine. in england there were clubs devoted to him and people enjoyed writing *anacreontics* - poems about booze and sex. by the time they decided to put francis scott key's poem to music, the tune had already been transmuted in america into a military march and a political song called "Adams and liberty." so why not the national anthem. |

I'm well fed, and got some sleep, and now as promised, i feel better. I just saw "Canadian Bacon" today, and laughed my hockey hateing ass off. Especially when the cop makes them change the anti-canadian graffiti on their truck to read in english AND french. "CANADIENS MANGER MON BRIEFS!" *rotflmao* beautiful. And to clear things up, i don't hate canada. I hate canada day. |
I play hockey. Yes, I am missing teeth (not many though!). And, fuck yew tew! Oh, and I drink Kokanee... sure beats that aussie piss. :) |
i like the drinking song story better. this nations nothing but a bunch of drunks and druggies anyway. fitting. |
