It's just that when some Canadians gloat about it, and rub it in other peoples' faces, they look like total jackasses.
Very good!

It surprises me when others actually understand my manner of forum-speak!

Oh, I agree that many people here do indeed know Canada rather well. You and Gort certainly have strong Canadian connections, and I'm sure there are others. Indeed, I have very strong US connections (the other half my family) as well.

No, my point is Canadians do have somewhat of a bad reputation at this forum. I remember being 'welcomed' to USPO as the 1st non-American-hating Canadian poster many Americans had ever seen here.

Thus, if it was a poll of the best country in the world, held at USPO, you know Canada wouldn't win it. That was my point of reference to USPO.

Precisely.

As far as I understand the matter, Danny would welcome you to do so.

Unless of course you acted like that dcoltonbrown character, then maybe you'd be received the same way he was - there or here - suitable for banning.

True, but still, the ONLY reason the drunk knows it is true is because people keep telling him. If everyone chose to be polite and consider his feelings, no one would ever tell him and he'll go on thinking he's the life of everyone's party...

When I start making money giving my opinions on political chat boards I will worry about spelling. To bad you had nothing else to say so you responded with an attack that frankly missed the mark.

You were the one that posted the attack. I merely responded. You have it reversed, as usual. Surprise me by refraining from personal attacks and you might actually get a more in-depth response from me. Your move, not mine.

Take a bow Canadians, you're number one in the world's eyes! The findings relating to Brand Canada from the NBI Q2 2006 report include:

1. Canadians won the People Brand category when panelists were asked “I would like to have a person from this country as a close friend” and “If I visited this country, the people would make me feel very welcome”

Canada ranked first
Australia ranked second
Sweden ranked third
The European Union ranked fourth
Switzerland ranked fifth
I just dont get why people from Sweden are number 3 on this list, since I think of them as a bunch of boring uptight socialist snobs and Ive met quite a few. I think high of the French people and their country on the other hand.

Why are the EU listed as one country and one kind of people" when we are 25 very different countries and kinds of people?

Quote:
3. In the Governance category, Canada achieved third place when panelists around the world were asked "This country is competently, honestly and fairly governed" and “This country respects the human rights of its citizens and treats them with fairness”
My impression of Canada as well but you could easily add most of the older EU countries and especially Germany to this list as well. The U.S obviously dont qualify for anything in this category, it never did and it never will. People who think it does are naive brainwashed dumbasses and mostly americans by the way.

And again you take everything I post personally which must make you the very definition of a dumbass. Perhaps you should flush out your head and change your underwear while you are at it (both are brown on the inside) LOL!

Likewise Gort as you are the master of attack and off-topic posts. You don't create threads but merely live a parasitical existence off the fruits of others.

Pathetic comeback Gort (ie there wasn't one). If you are going to flame someone at least make it engaging for others. Otherwise go back under your rock, or crevice or whatever.....

Re: Canadians world's most popular people according to survey

Bemused giggles.

In the forum where I am the moderater, I just use the delete key on many posts like these. I am truly brutal at the sport.

Nothing that would get the poster in trouble, just off-topic personal crap that isn't deemed worthy of sucking public bandwidth.
