What do you Love and Hate about your country?

[SuperJak777]

Everyone and their dog knows that. Mr Bieber doesn't fit the Canadian stereotype well, though. Someone like Carly Rae Jepsen is a little better in that regard.

Justin Bieber doesn't fit any stereotype except for "Dumba**"

Yeah, I heard it was so much better there than heaven and that the girls as as hot as fire.

Boy you already know!

I live in US
Origin country is Iran. Love the food and places you can visit.
Hate the theocracy ruling the country.

Can you give an example of some Iranian food? I have never heard of any.

I had a conversation with my friend about that =D

I talked with an American friend of mine haha. They said they were afraid to go on their vacation with their America insignia so they put Canadian flags on their luggage instead and it worked!

Three main parties sounds much better. Perhaps if we had a similar system we wouldn't have had had a government shutdown a while back. I didn't even realize Canada had three main parties. Thank you for teaching me something new!

Well actually, it's 4 (sometimes more but they don't get enough votes to really be on a federal level), but the main 3 are the Liberals, Conservatives and the NDP. For most of our history it's been usually just a big time fight between the Liberals versus the Conservative (typically I like the Liberals more as they're more like the Democrats in your country whereas like the Republicans, the Conservatives are very concealed and negative towards the overall senate) parties. In the recent election, there was actually an uprising of a true visionary leader (Think of JFK or good Presidents who would bring good chance) from the NDP and he had a lot of support. He would have won a landslide victory against Harper, but he ended up having cancer, had to drop out (and Harper got re-elected by beating the terrible Liberal Leader) and he died soon after. We won't have such a visionary running for office in a while sadly. So we're in another election year and there's no one who really stands out. One of our greatest Prime Minister's son is actually running for office but I'm not too sure about him. He seems like he has good intentions like his father, but I think he lacks the conviction to change for the better and help with the federal budget. I'd like to be surprised at least. I don't want to vote for Harper this year.

Baha. Besides the adolescent girls, he's really frowned upon here. He's nowhere near like the typical Canadian. He's stupidly arrogant and let the fame get to his head. He doesn't even have any connections back to our country. Drake is a better comparison because he always remembers his routes in Toronto and references that, and is even the ambassador for Toronto's basketball team in the NBA.

Well I hope that your elections give you a positive leader. Suprises are very common in politics...it isn't always positive though. I didn't know Drake was Canadian! That is cool.

Haha, I hope so too! If you want to know anything else, I like to educate people on things they don't know.

This thread so far has been incredibly insightful and has taught me a lot about my fellow NB members. I am so happy this thread didn't turn into a huge flame war.

 

[Hexuze]

Canada? Meh...

Bruh, poutine.

 

[SuperJak777]

I thank you all for responding tonight with such passion for your country. Good night everyone! If anyone wants to continue to talk in this thread, feel free to do so.

 

[Pumpkin Ninja]

Bruh, poutine.

Where you from North / South ?
And not everything sucks. People do give a shit about other people. Although a lot of shit does actually suck. Competiton is intense. I am actually going through a phase of depression due to it....
