The problems of Canada, eh?

startur 10.12.2011 08:00 PM

are you afraid of the dark?
it was a joint production but filmed in canada

ann ashtray 10.12.2011 08:01 PM

Ah, Nickelodeon. That Clarissa could explain everything.

I've often heard it called it "BANada" due to musicians being stopped at the border for either a) lack of a proper KANADAMUSIKPASSS or b) a crimal record.

no newclear terroorists is gettings you guys, eh. take off.

I am glad that the usual stereotypes have finally made it into this conversation.

Maple syrup, lumberjacks, 1 southpark episode that every shit in America who has a tv in the us seems to know, celine, bieber.

Geez, there is nothing really I need to know more about Canada.

When Jack White came up and made a movie and placed a maple leaf on his guitar, it made perfect sense.

When he wore red and white was he expecting everyone else to do the same when he got here? Did he think tacky works in other countries as well?

Better yet, when Pearl Jam makes a poster of a lumberjack for a Canadian gig, it completes my identity. Cause thats we are all about:

i don't know if that's even a canada joke, they have trees in washington too

keep poppin pimples 10.12.2011 09:52 PM

good news, a commercial has just informed me the tar sands are not bad for the environment

the man from the oil company even picked up some nature stuff from the ground! apparently there used to be an oil drill there

there was natural stuff there, though. i think oil drilling is good for the environment

basically it's really large and there are many areas that you should not move to.


actually they keep having these events close to me that basically ask
come live in canada, you guys!
(but pay upfront)

idk
is there any limitation as to where you can go to?

keep poppin pimples 10.12.2011 10:45 PM

i'm sure i know some guy who knows a guy who can get you in for less, i might rack up alot of minutes calling all the connections

so i'll need the cash up front

knox 10.12.2011 10:47 PM

can this guy get me to one of those places jon boy mentioned?

also, really sad nobody mentioned alanis?

keep poppin pimples 10.12.2011 10:52 PM

how fancy are the neighbourhoods these events take place at? because i wouldn't trust that shit in a poor area at all, who knows what kind of horrible job you might get, in northern manitoba nobody can hear you scream

knox 10.12.2011 10:59 PM

in that case i have no idea where you'd end up, i've probably never been anywhere like it :( it sounds like it would be awesome if it's for fancy people


i'm pessimistic so i basically had the idea of some sketchy company in rural brazil getting people to sign contracts without letting them read them, and then everybody ends up working at some slaughterhouse that treats them worse than cattle

keep poppin pimples 10.12.2011 11:08 PM

hello employees, great news

we've received the contracts for your jobs in canada

unfortunately there's been an error at the press, and the contracts are all in english oh no?!??!

does anyone here speak english? do you even know what the fuck i'm talking about? if you do, then you're fired!!

knox 10.12.2011 11:08 PM

nah. you have to have degrees and have a lot of money to spend on papers, they don't want anybody. Mostly people with knowledge they need, I assume, and fluent english, of course. the events are organized by the canadian embassy.

this is what democracy looks like



 




 
(hey look we let a girl be prime minister once, for 5 months....sike)



 



you would be able to say the names of all prime ministers right knowing only english and french

except nobody says mulroney right the first time


i am sensing by the pictures you posted that your a little on the right leaning side, hence the utter denial anything is wrong or that maybe just maybe some people live in shitty bad situations comparable to third world living, this is a canadian health study finding. not everything is as a black and white, cut and dry as you think but seeing as you dont really seem to know much about the dtes other than being a day laborer (whatever that means) and talking to a few 'hobo's' i wouldnt expect you to get it.

anyway thats the last i will say on the subject as i have better things to do like annoy canadian ice hockey fans for being so dull.
