Canada may be known as one of the best countries to live in, but when it comes to their neighbors south of the border, they're pretty much as savage as the funny roast Blake Lively's delivered to Ryan Reynolds on his birthday. What the Canadian culture lacks in legal firearms and super-sized fast food, they make up for in sass and maple syrup. Now, although the best country in the World has never been one to brag about their universal health care, stable economy, and near-spotless diplomatic relations, there comes a time every so often that the boot comes down - and we don't mean 'out and a-boot.' Here at Bored Panda, we've rounded up the top moments from Canada vs. USA quarrel while the rest of the globe was left literally yelling. Canada's immigration site may crash again by the end of this post, so get started on your application beforehand.

Now scroll down below to check the politest Canadian memes and best roasts in the Canada vs. America dispute!

for what its worth, the reason that lawsuit happened is because McD's was found negligent for superheating coffee in order to hold it longer. They handed someone a cup of near boiling coffee and she was burned badly in her *lap* area. It wasn't simply a case of duh coffee is hot. The story has been co opted by corporate interests to try to steer the blame from negligent practice to make it seem like it was frivolous; it wasn't.

Yes, and all the woman asked for was for McD to pay her the medical costs of having SKIN GRAFTS in her "lap" area (aka groin). That's all she asked for. McD wouldn't pay for it. For those who don't know about this lawsuit, look it up. It's interesting how different the real story is from all the hype.

Actually the case the warnings are stemmed from was an elderly woman served coffee hot enough to give her 2nd/3rd degree burns. (if I remember right)

And bad laws. In Canada, there are legal conditions that have to be fulfilled before you sue someone. Maintains a modicum of sanity.

The lawsuit that spawned this was when there was clear evidence that a McDonald's ignored customers complaints of their coffee being actually scalding hot. The woman literally HAD to sue McDonald's to cover the cost of major SKIN GRAFTS to her lap. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebeck_v._McDonald%27s_Restaurants

There is little crime in Canada because it's too cold to go outside and there is nothing worth stealing.

I have two neighbors from Canada and they are "sue" and "legal action" happy! If something isnt going their way, they threaten lawsuits. They have caused our Hoa fees to rise from $300 a year to $1600 in the course of one year to cover all the neighborhood legal fees.

even coffee, or any hot beverage, without "superheating" is hot enough to cause pain and damage... just use common sense and becareful instead of trying to blame someone else

If a McD employee didn’t straight up and poured the hot beverage on the women’s lap it stays frivoous in my opinion. If she picked the friggen thing up she should’ve felt it was hot. Dont go puttng it in your lap and then go scream my legs are on fire pay me some money.

Stop. I get the feeling you don't understand what boiling water does to a human body. Just stop.

Seriously, I don't get why OTHER PEOPLE getting married really matters to them. Oh, we've got a religion where priests and preachers often abuse kids? Oh, that doesn't matter - the two guys across the street are getting married and God hates that! Pick your battles.

This is honestly vaguely disturbing. What kind of person thinks: Look, a robot! Let's go break it into pieces! And people wonder why others think Americans are violent.

American money being all the same colour DOES screw me up. It's not that I CAN'T read them, it's that it's way easier to pay for something quickly when you DON'T HAVE TO. Also, this is another thing where the U.S. is the odd one out, since most of the money I've ever seen from other countries is also in different coloured bills.

The good thing is that you can save 175$ by a DIY achievable by an kid and still look "elegant". The teachers should repalce the traditionnal "mother's day noodles necklace" by a "mother's day paperclips necklace"!

The American government is too busy trying to get people like Bill, who teach real things, out of school in favour of the Bible that most of them don't even read so they don't know how awful and b******t it is.
