The magazine, Readers Digest did a poll here in Canada and asked people which were the most important careers 1. Firefighters 2. Paramedics 3. was a tie, Doctors, Nurses, Pilots. skipping to 38. Astrologers 39. Politicians 40. Used automobile salesman. Just though you might enjoy finding out what we think of politicians here.
 
The fact that people think Astrologers are important at all is scarier than politicians being at rank 39.

Is Canada as dumb as the US? :lol

Fortunately, there are varying levels of stupidity for each and every nation.
 
People live there, so what the fuck do you think?

Yes, and I suppose that your politians are so much more honest and transparent than ours. All yours are good for are starting wars and dragging other countries into them. Who took a crap in your breakfast? I,m just stating what that poll said. If you have a problem with it, fuck off!!! I didn,t make it up. As far a varying levels of stupidity goes, our priorities are different from yours. I,d say they hit the nail on the head on this one, instead of burying their heads in the sand and pretending everything is wonderful. They are just as bad if not worse than used car salesmen, only more successful monetarily from being in bed with big business and ripping off the taxpaying public.

I wouldn't take what he said offensively. He likes to make comments like that. Maybe he doesn't care for Canada, or maybe he's drunk, who knows. xD

I didn't actually have a good reason to not like Canada until...Justin Bieber.
 
I believe that poll respondents were given a list of occupations and asked to rank them. The point of the poll is that Canadians, much like Americans in similar polls, consider politicians to be as disreputable as astrologers and used car dealers, two professions which are notorious for lying to customers. For instance, in this 2008 US Gallup Poll, automobile dealers and congressmen were rated third- and fourth-least ethical occupations out of a list of 21 jobs.

I would say canada and the usa are on a par with the uk in relation to politicians, and i guess the whole world is similar some places like italy have corruption in addition to the lies,to a degree maybe they go hand in hand.
 
Can't we all just go bowling? I'll provide the soda. ^_^

I would love to...if my fingers could go without swelling up to the size of fucking Mars for ten minutes while bowling. xD

I don't know why, but they do swell up, and it becomes painful to bowl for anymore than an hour or so.
 
You are the voices of reason Rox, Mash and Miss Valerie, sorry Jamie, we,re having another election and it really grinds my gears as Bob would say. I,m going to lose my vote again. The only person worth even thinking about voting for doesn,t stand a chance. Featherdaemon, Celine Dion? You must be joking, If you had said Rush, Neil Young, Gordon Lightfoot, Bruce Cockburn, Joni Mitchell, Rik Emmett, Ian Thomas, Kim Mitchell, Tom Cochran, Default, Ian Thornley, Matt Mays and El Torpedo, Pilot Speed, Chilliwack, the Guess Who, Bryan Adams, Sarah McLachlan, Nickleback, April Wine, Neverending White Lights, FM, Headpins, Steppenwolf, Payolas, Doug and the Slugs, Skydiggers or even Gino Vanelli, I might take you more seriously, so many to choose from and I,m just scratching the surface. Your knowlege of Canadian artists leaves a lot to be desired, and as far as the NHL goes, most of the best players come from here, no matter what team they play for, not only the Habs. You,re from NY, don,t you remember Mark Messier? We also have Georges St Pierre the welterweight champion in the UFC, Lucien Bute the IBF super middleweight boxing champ and Jean Pascal. I,m rambling now.

To be fair, Canada has a LOT OF WOODS that can catch fire during hot days. Might explain why firefighters are such a vaulted profession by our maple syrup producing neighbors. ^_~
