It just occurred to me why you all hate Canada. It's not our better health care or any of that, it's the fact we put out stuff like Justin Bieber.
No malicious intent to you as an individual, and as a member here, sir, but I've always been curious as to someone famous who's come out of Canada.
Of course, there's the population disparity; despite that Canada is larger in size than the United States, Canada of course has only ever had a tenth the population of the United States. (Something which many people, especially primitives on Skins's island, fail to realize.)
The only Canadian of Note of whom I can think is the Earl of Athlone, who was Governor-General there about a hundred years ago. And he was British, not Canadian.
There was the actor Lorne Greene, but he had to come to the United States to become famous.
(Again, no slam here; Nebraska is notorious for producing people who have to go elsewhere to become famous.)
Yeah, yeah, there's been some famous prime ministers, such as Dieffenbacher and Pearson and Laurier, but really, they would've made only middling U.S. Presidents.
I always considered the situation of Canada as being analogous with that of Ukraine--when I was wandering around the socialist paradises of the workers and peasants, at some point it struck me that all the "Ukrainian" national heroes were actually non-Ukrainians, usually Poles and Hungarians.
It's a most peculiar phenomenon, Canada.
edited to change "St. Laurent" to "Laurier;" it's been a while since I've read Canadian history, and hence the initial error--sorry for the inconvenience
