I've been away for a day or two(work and all) so I missed CelticCountries rants against us. Bummer cause I would have set him straight. Well here goes anyway.

May i just comment .......... hmmm, Canada..... I say definitely don't knock it until you have been, I wanted to go for ages,and recently (June/July 05) I went to Toronto & Montreal ........was I dissapointed ?
a big definitely NOT !!
Great sense of relaxation about lots of the people there, the food was so much better than here in the UK, it seemed cleaner and I didn't see any burned out cars on the roadsides-sound familiar to all in the UK ?. The transport system seemed good, the street meat was excellent and the beer wasn't half bad !
It got my vote ,you'll never hear me put it down !
Originally posted by rbmorrisIt seems generally that Canada is well liked around the globe, but many people are usually missinformed about whats its really like here. I'm glad you liked it, But Mr. Celticountry seemed to want to focus on the negative. Yeah we have some bad stuff(which country doesn't?) So I wanted to inform people about the good stuff, or maybe dispell some myths aboot Canadians.
Went to Whistler, B.C. on a business trip once. Unbelievable place! Vancouver seems nice too. And of course, you produced Alex Trebec. There's my extensive knowlege of Canada. Overall, seems like a fairly decent country. Rock on, neighbor.
p.s next time check out Jasper and/or Banff. Beautiful, and awesome skiing.

Huh? Basically, all I said was that I have very limited experience/knowlege about Canada, but what I did see, I liked. So that makes me a "d!ick" and a "B@st@rd"? I have no problem with being called either one, and I've certainly done plenty to deserve both monikers. If provoked, I can certainly live up to your expectatuions. On the other hand, this doesn't seem to be one of those situations. 😛

I didn't say them and MoldyCrow was talking about Celticountry. Yeah Crow, I shouldn't get to pissy about Celtic, but I really hate holier-then-thou attitudes. If he wannts to come in here and talk sh*t about my country as if his sh*t don't stink, well I feel I should set him straight. Plus I do love talking about my country. It ain't perfect by al ...[text shortened]... could be worse...I could live in Mexico😀 (I'm just kidding, I'm sure Mexico is a fine place)
It's what the US should have been like if they realised the world doesn't revolve around them, and they had manners!
