Why are Canadians so angry?

Question

I saw on tv that many Canadians are upset about last night's episode of South Park and their mocking of Canada. They showed some really angry canadian people that plan on boycotting american goods. Seriously, what is the deal with you canadians? It's a cartoon. It was just a joke. Why can't you guys take a joke? Is it really any surprise that nobody takes canada seriously when they base their entire existance on telling everyone how different from America they are? Grow up and get a culture of your own, then maybe you won't be so sensitive.

Answer 1

So, you completely ignore and discount all the Americans that are angry with south park, and boycott south park over the years?  You can just start with every American Religious group.  There are way more of them than Canadians.  It is no surprise nobody takes the US seriously when you ignore your own home experience then accuse other countries of the same thing.

Thousands of American schools ban wearing South Park T-shirts in school.

"chef" quit the show, because of their attack on Scientology.  He couldn't take the joke to the extent that he was willing to give up his pay cheque??  That's pretty angry.

How is Canadian culture different than American?  Well, you don't hear Canadians throwing around the threat of suing over it.  That's what Americans do.  And every time South Park parodies some Americans they all start to talk in terms of suing.

Answer 2

What culture have the yanks got???The Canadians were the first to help in World War two when the yanks were to scared .

They might en be as large as the yanks but one thing is for sure they haven't got such large mouths and they don't start wars that they cant finish,or fire on their allies ,they dont invade countries for their oil,or because they disagree with their politics,they dont murder elected leaders because they wont toe the yankee line,and they dont fiddle election results like bush did..

I could go on for ever telling the differences between the Canducs and the yanks but I wont, enough to know that I would sooner fight with a Canadian on my side than some dope, smack head yank soldier

Answer 3

Hahahahahahahah.  I'm Canadian and can take a joke....

Like your dumb *** question.

Answer 4

i think you are the one that needs to grow up little man

Answer 5

Canadians can take a joke.  But, when people start telling lies about us, then it's ggrrrr....

Answer 6

I notice Americans can disg it but they can not take it

and we do have a culture of our own .We're also have less social issues then the USA !!!!!!

On here I see Americans wantting to say Canada is the same as the USa ...the only way that is is that we have minor nationalities immigrate but it is very much different when it comes to people blending in ! Your problems started with slavery and segregation and never went away ! You probably think we live in igloos and have thrashy homes don't you and that we have winter year round

Answer 7

Aren't Trey Parker and Matt Stone from Canada?!!!!!!!

I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure they are.

Yes, it's just a joke to us, but the Canadians seem to be taking it harshly. Do they realize that South Park aims to poke fun at just about anyone?.......ourselves included.

It's not like we take it seriously or anything. jeeeeze.

Answer 8

Oops...here....let me tuck that in for you....your ignorance is hanging out.

Care to back up your statement that nobody takes Canada seriously?  

Also care to show some evidence that we base our entire existence on telling everyone how different from Americans we are?

Wow, you lead a very sheltered, ignorant life.

Best of luck to you...you're going to need it!

Answer 9

seriously? South Park has always made fun of Canadians.

Answer 10

Hey don't count me in....I am not angry :p

and I don't take you seriously cause you're a cartoon character

Answer 15

THE PROBLEM IS THAT IF ALL THE WORLDS A STAGE AND ALL THE MEN AND WOMEN ARE PLAYERS CANADIANS HAVE NO SPEAKING PARTS

Answer 16

Um, sorry but I don't have time to watch South Park.  I'm too busy drinking beer, watching hockey and collecting ice blocks for the igloo that I live in.

Answer 17

This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

Seriously.

Answer 18

I can honestly say that nothing you said is relevant to my life.

Don't know what you constitute as being really angry Canadians but its news to me. We do know how to take a joke.

I'd be respectful if I were you. Never does any good to bite the hand that pumps and ships the majority of your oil to you.

Answer 19

i don't even watch south park and if they have to make fun of canada for material then thats pretty sad

yea i don't like people making fun of Canada cuz its my home and stuff but i can take a joke and those shows are lame and really u shouldn't bother to take srsly..but i understand why ppl r mad

Answer 20

Dear Jeff,

                     I don't know Jeff if this is going to be your

" Best Answer " but buy your last sentence , which I perceive

as an angry slur towards Canadians ; you are the one who

does appear to be angry. This is only an observation mind

you.

                     I am an American who has lived in Canada for

11 years. So I can write a " little book " on what I know regarding about Canadians. I have lived in Ontario and currently live in British Columbia.Ten years in Ontario and close to 2 years here in British Columbia.

You are assuming because you saw a relatively small group

of Canadians who planned to boycott American goods, that

all Canadians feel the same way. Wrong.

I fail to understand your argument that Canadians can't take

a joke based on a few people you witnessed saying they plan

on a boycott of American goods. Since when does a very small group speek for an entire nation of people ?

You also made the brash and unreasonable statement....

" Is it really any surprise that nobody takes Canada seriously

when they base their entire existance on telling everyone how different from America they are."

Where did you get that information ? What in the world are you talking about ?

As an American I'm very embarrased for you and your thinking towards people ( any people ) you don't even know. What do you know of Canadian heritage and culture in the first place ? You should really be ashamed of yourself and appearing as the " Ugly American " who makes non-informed

and un-intelligent statements against a country's peoples

you don't even know.

Maybe you should instead thank the brave Canadians who are over in Afganistan fighting and die-ing for and with the American froces instead. And speaking of jokes , that particular war is no joke. Ask an American serviceman if he

thinks the Canadians fighting over there are " sensitive."

Now I know that this answer isn't going to win me any lousy

10 points. But maybe this answer will I hope give you pause to think and be a little more intelligent in the way you appear to think  and make wild remarks towards others.

I bet if you left the voting up to the others who bother wasting

their time to answer your question....they would choose this

as the " BEST ANSWER."

Cheers,

The Wood

Answer 21

The fact that South Park is actually done by a bunch of Canadians would tell me that we have a great sense of humour about ourselves.  God knows Americans can't laugh at themselves.  They should get a sense of humour, because the rest of the world is having a laugh at your expense.

Oh, and no, this isn't an american bashing comment any more than your question couched a Canadian bashing undertone.

Answer 22

South Park? That show is still on the air?

Interesting fact though. Jeff only became a member of Yahoo! Answers on April 2nd and I've already seen two anti-Canadian questions from him. Don't know where else he is trolling or what account was cancelled to make him come here, but welcome! :-)

Answer 23

This question is filled with hate and provocation. We have a rich culture. We are peace loving people, we have low crime rates, we are very tolerant of various races. We speak two languages with pride and we are loved throughout the world. They say sew a Canadian Flag on your travel bags and you will be assured of respect and being very much welcomed. South Park is a show that shows exactly the small minds and bigotry. I am proud to be a Canadian and wouldnt want to be anyone else and live anywhere else. Oh BTW Americans are coming over here saying they want to live in a more peaceful open society. We accept g**s we are not racial bigots. We have strict gun laws and if we were that bad Americans wouldnt be moving here in record numbers.
