America Is Cooler Than You, Canada
Canada is like that lonely, quiet neighbor who pulls all the way into his garage and won’t get out of his station wagon until he shuts the garage door all the way in an effort to stay recluse. You don’t love that guy, but he doesn’t bother you, either. You think he’s a little odd, a little timid, but you have no real reason to dislike him. He’s just kinda there, doing his thing. You throw block parties and leave an invitation on his doorstep out of common, neighborly courtesy, but he doesn’t show. He never will. He does, however, peek through the blinds to check up on the rest of us, to see how we live.
Full disclosure here: I don’t hate Canada. I actually don’t even dislike or harbor an ounce of resentment toward Canada. That place seems okay to me, honestly, and there are some beautiful parts–I’m not lying when I say I really want to visit Banff. The people there seem friendly and welcoming.
On the other hand, the USA men’s hockey plays Canada on Friday for a shot in the gold medal game in the 2014 Sochi Olympics. So, on Friday, fuck you, Canada. I hate you. You’re not America.
I saw this photo posted in the TFM comments today. I’m not sure if the swan properly represents our neighbors to the north, but I still like it. It works. It’s funny.
Canada, you’re simply inferior to America, and in many ways. Here are some of them:
- It’s so damn cold up there, guys. It’s warmer down here. Sucks to suck.
- What’s up with all that flannel?
- There are parts of your country where the sun stays out for like days or weeks at a time. That’s stupid. Figure it out.
- This is funny to me because y’all are pale.
- The Biebs is from your country.
- Kate Upton’s boobs are from our country.
- Ninety percent of your country is uninhabitable. What’s that all about? What’s up with all that empty space, man? Y’all are so damn wasteful. I bet I could negotiate a deal for a nice spread in northern Canada for about 75 cents an acre. One thousand acres with mountainous views for $750? It sounds like a great deal, except it’s in Canada, so it’s a shitty deal. You know how much that shit costs in America? We can live in 99.9 percent of America, by the way. There are some swampy parts of Louisiana we’re not trying to fuck with. That’s pretty much it.
- Football up there sucks ass. Football here is the best shit ever.
- Do you nerds even play baseball?
- Ever heard of tailgating? Look it up. It’s fantastic.
- I’m 100 percent sure you guys only have sex in the missionary position.
- We invented missionary, by the way. You’re welcome.
- T.J. Oshie’s girlfriend is fine as hell, and she’s American.
- I don’t know a whole lot about your GDP, but I know America has enough cash in its wallet right now to buy you out. And we’re in a lot of debt.
- Marisa Miller is American.
- So is Brooklyn Decker.
- Your beer sucks.
- Your movie theaters pretty much just show American movies, don’t they? Shit’s weak.
- Who’s your favorite band right now? They’re not Canadian, are they? Weeeeak.
- There is no such thing as a Canadian restaurant, right? You just eat American food. Quit borrowing all our cool shit.
- And finally, Team USA is going to fuck your boys up in hockey tomorrow.
I do love me some Rachel McAdams, though. That’s one Canuck who I’d take out for some USDA prime. Then I’d never call her again.
Dorno, you know that there are parts of the U.S. where the sun is out for more than 24 hours, right?
11 years ago at 3:04 pmYou wanna think that one through and get back to us? Hint there are only 24 hours in a day
11 years ago at 4:19 pmAlaska shit for brains
11 years ago at 4:45 pmShit for brains. FaF.
11 years ago at 4:56 pmreally? and if the sun is out for “more than 24 hours”, then that would be over 24. just need a little common sense here boys
11 years ago at 10:10 pmYou are actually so fucking stupid that I am ashamed to call you a fellow American.
11 years ago at 8:03 pmBut do we count Alaska? I thought that was just an outpost we secured to keep Russia in check and make Canada feel like we’ve surrounded them.
11 years ago at 9:15 pmAs a proud Canadian, I just want to clear a few things up. We tailgate, like motherfuckers. We hate our football too, it sucks. Some great baseball players come from Canada, like Jason Bay, Justin Morneau, Brett Lawrie, Eric Gagne (holds the record for most consecutive saves. We’re sorry you don’t like our beer. Natty Light was just too weak for us, so we had to make an actual beer.
And last but not least, we love us some fucking freedom just as much as our Southern neighbors.
11 years ago at 3:10 pmI’m from Pittsburgh and I am telling you Jason Bay was the best player on a terrible team. Made him look better than he was.
11 years ago at 3:14 pmJoey Votto is the best baseball player from Canada.
11 years ago at 6:10 pmThat MVP award though
11 years ago at 3:20 amHey dipshit, unfuck your website and make it so the ads don’t obscure my view of the article.

11 years ago at 3:19 pmI come from that swampy part of Louisiana.
11 years ago at 3:36 pm“I bet I could negotiate a deal for a nice spread in northern Canada for about 75 cents an acre. One thousand acres with mountainous views for $750?”
11 years ago at 3:38 pmBiggest bull shit claim I’ve read on this site. Makes the hook-up stories sound close to feasible.
Dorn do you type as you would talk? Damn, shits funny.
11 years ago at 3:43 pmYeah, kinda. What of it? Fuck you.
11 years ago at 3:51 pmThe only good thing that came from canada is Trailer Park Boys.
11 years ago at 3:45 pmAnd Pam Anderson
11 years ago at 10:22 amI’ll take this one on (tongue planted firmly in cheek)…
1. Yes. It is cold. I’ll come back to this one last…
11 years ago at 3:52 pm2. Flannel is comfortable. Flannel is also worn by people who are outside working hard for a living. It’s what’s on the inside of sleeping bags because it’s comforting. Your girlfriends will like us for this.
3. This point epitomizes the ignorance of Americans to geography outside of the core 48. There’s this little state of yours called Alaska with the same situation.
4. I’d rather be pale than all wrinkled up and leathery…ever been to a Florida beach to see those women like the one on Something About Mary? Oh, and melanoma sucks.
5. Yes. Biebs IS from our country. We hated him. That’s why you Americans have loved him enough to give him two mansions.
6. I cannot, in all good conscious, argue this on. (Or those two).
7. Have you ever drive through Iowa? Or North Dakota? Plus, it’s better to be spread out that up each other’s ass.
8. Canadian football does suck. But so does Arena Football.
9. Jason Bay? Justin Morneau? Fergie Jenkins? It’s also not like you guys have it on lockdown – last year there were 28% foreign born players on opening day rosters. And who won the World Baseball Classic? And Little League World Series?
10. Canadians do tailgate. And do it well. No idea where this one came from.
11 & 12 – soon…
13. She is hot. But he got her by learning to play a Canadian game.
14. As of today $1 CDN = $0.90 USD.
15. Kate Bock is from Canada.
16. So is Emmanuelle Vaugier.
17. Yes. Because Natty Ice is gold medal worthy.
18. Yes…they show American movies filmed in Canada because it’s better looking.
19. Let’s look at the Grammys…Daft Punk/Record of Year = France…Lorde/Song of Year = New Zealand. Most popular tour in US now? Some tweener licking on a hammer.
20. Maple syrup, smoked meat, and poutine. You’re welcome.
21. You’ve already said it’s cold all the time up in Canada. You know what that’s good for? Learning how to play hockey. And you think we only do it in the missionary position? Well, just wait until tomorrow when you learn all sorts of new ways to get fucked by Canada. I mean, your women just learned that today.
All that needs to be said here is we are THE FUCKING UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! Take your hockey, your maple syrup and all the other shit previously stated. America has George W. Bush who could out drink Rob Ford. We have Jordon Belfort who at one time could buy your entire country with a pocket full of fun coupons. Granted we are not a perfect country, but we are the best damn one on this planet! and don’t you forget that you damn Canadian!
11 years ago at 4:17 pmTL;DR
11 years ago at 6:43 pmDorn is wrong about everything, all the time, and deserves to be punched in his grundle is the basic gist of it. Also see you at the game tomorrow, enjoy 3rd place.
11 years ago at 12:28 amAs a Canadian I’m shocked and offended. I love doggy style.
11 years ago at 3:58 pmSubtle Talladega Nights quote?
