Canadians have built themselves a reputation for being polite people. They value the words “please”, “thank you,” and “excuse me.” They make sure to apologize if someone bumps into them.
However, the internet and social media comment sections have exposed a sassier and fiercer side of Canucks. You’re about to see it in the following screenshots, where they’ve savagely roasted Americans, their neighbors south of the border.
Scroll down the list and check out some of the sickest burns of them all.

It Is Nice To Have A Bill Of Rights

Ahem. I'd just like to point out that England got its Bill of Rights in 1689 (Scotland has the Claim of Right Act, also 1689). Parts of it were used for the first ten amendments to the US constitution nearly a century later - which is what USAians call their bill of rights.

Apart from their polite nature, Canadians share many common values. According to an article by Simon Fraser University, one of them is the uneasiness during confrontations.

You may wait for routine screenings like I had to book my mammogram a few months out but while I was there, a woman with a lump was getting a same day appointment. I can see a doctor at the walk-in clinic within a hour or at the ER within a few hours. People living in underpopulated areas can really struggle but that’s true in the US too. And there’s no worries about finding a doctor in network and no bills to sort through.

None of these MAGAts ever talks about the wait time to get healthcare in the U.S.! Wait to find out if your insurance will cover it. When they say, “No,” appeal the decision and wait for the result. Wait to save up enough money for what the insurance won’t cover. (Or go into debt, if it’s urgent and you CAN’T wait.) Wait to get a doctor’s appointment. Yes, there’s often a long wait to get an appointment. Oh, and all the fees that get tacked on for every-fvcking-thing. Lose time from work while you’re getting the health stuff done. In the U.S. not everybody gets PTO—and when we do, it’s skimpy and grudging. It really pîsses me off when U.S. conservatives say, “But in other countries you have to WAIT…” like waiting (when it’s not an emergency) is the worst thing in the world.

Defending Texas here.. In August of 2023, Western Canada saw temps over 40C (105F). The Canadian government was issuing extreme heat warnings telling people to be cautious spending time outside and warning people about heat stroke. Here in Texas, we call that a normal summer day and lots of people work outside during the middle of the day. Years ago I was in Montreal in January. I was bundled up in a heavy winter coat, wool socks, thermal underwear, gloves and a hat. The locals were out in t-shirts, thin leather coats and those weren't even buttoned. It is all in what you are used to. 1 inch of snow here will shut everything down. 105F will shut everything down in Canada.

According to OQLF, tuque (or touque/toque in english) possibly come from the expression "bonnet à la turc" (bonnet being similar to beanie in english). They were a kind of hat used by north africans impoted to Canada during XVIIth century. It is a very useful accessorie and I wonder also why people wear them when it's not cold.

The historical significance of American independence is that it signaled the beginning of the exodus of the Western Hemisphere from European domination. And it inspired many of the revolutions for independence that followed. But the particular month and day is completely irrelevant.
Forrest Hobbs 2 weeks ago (edited)
Michael Largey: not sure what you're on about. I live in NW England, in the Western Hemisphere. The dominant political culture in the Americas derives from European culture - so the indigenous populations of the Americas are still living under European-derived domination. I've also recently learnt that part of the reason for the British empire expanding to the East including India was the loss of the American colonies - meaning that US independence was partly responsible for an expansion of European colonization and making the British Empire the biggest empire ever. The British Empire collapsed largely because the colonised nations noticed - as a result of WW2 and Japanese invasions - that you *could* beat the British. In any case come 1945 Britain was broke and worn out and Brits just didn't want to fight any more. Post WW2 decolonization had nothing to do with "being inspired" by events the other side of the world 150 years beforehand - in any case, what about the USA going to war in its futile attempt to maintain "Western" control over Vietnam? Very inspirational, that - well, it was in a way: it proved even poor nations could beat the USA... 🤨

My husband was outside & I told him somebody was calling about it. He could understand him because he worked for a power company and had been i. and around Roxboro.

Honestly “you’re welcome” comes across as extremely formal or even sarcastic where I’m from in the U.S.. When we say “yep” or “sure” it’s usually meant as “oh, you don’t have to thank me, of course I’d do that for you!” It’s usually used for something like holding the door open or passing you something you dropped—it’s such a common courtesy that saying “you’re welcome” seems almost rude: as if you did someone some big favor when all you did was a general common sense nicety. I’m not sure I’m explaining this well haha

We don't consider it rude here to respond with a "yep" or "sure" because we often don't want a person that's asking for a favor to feel like they're asking for too much.
