Smart Americans moving to Canada

Discussion in 'Anything goes' started by Perry White, Aug 1, 2007.

  1. I don't recall ever writing you're a cretin because you would move to Canada. Maybe your sweeping statements about certain classes of people had something to do with it. Along with your apparent denials that those statements can be applied to a host of others.

    There are so many other reasons to call you a cretin, evidently. And spnited isn't a cretin, remember? That would be an insult to cretins.

    Another way to look at this story is that a country one-tenth the size of the U.S. has more than twice as many people going south as the other way around. So what, either way. The numbers are, indeed, far from even being a drop in a bucket.

    Look into my eyes - you will see
    What you mean to me
    Search your heart search your soul
    And when you find me there you'll search no more

    Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
    You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
    You know it's true
    Everything I do - I do it for you

    Look into my heart - you will find
    There's nothin' there to hide
    Take me as I am - take my life
    I would give it all - I would sacrifice

    Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
    I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more
    Ya know it's true
    Everything I do - I do it for you

    There's no love - like your love
    And no other - could give more love
    There's nowhere - unless you're there
    All the time - all the way

    Oh - you can't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
    I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more
    I would fight for you - I'd lie for you
    Walk the wire for you - ya I'd die for you

    Ya know it's true
    Everything I do - I do it for you
     
  3. And he wasn't even Canadian enough (in that song, at least) to get preferential treatment in his native country (Google "Bryan Adams" and "Canadian content;" it's pretty funny). I think he lives in England most of the time now, anyway.

    Of course, he should be exiled for those lyrics alone.

    Well you can go to hell because you clearly didn't fall in love in the summer of '91 and use that as your song!!!

    Actually, if you didn't, you were the only person in America not on that bandwagon.

    OK, while we know that Bryan Adams sucks, and so does Loverboy, Canada did gives us Margo Timmins and the Cowboy Junkies.
    Canada also gave us The Kids in the Hall.
    Those things make Canada OK.
    However, America has no monopoly on the production of boorish travelers.

    WTF? Loverboy sucks? Since when?

    If you want to like Loverboy, I won't hold it against you.
    Maybe we can at least agree on The Kids in the Hall.
    And SCTV. How did I forget about that?

    Is there any way we can ship some unwanted Canadians down States side? I have some in mind...
    Maybe they should do a reality show where they move Canucks south?

    By the way, if you like Tim's be wary of asking them for a 15 pack...seriously ::)

    A 15 pack of what at Tims? Timbits?

    Yes, a 15 pack of Timbits

    Well, it's a bit much to eat on your own. Or so I have heard.
