Of the messages our government likes to sell us, which ones stand out to you as obvious propaganda pieces?
Not a parody thread per se, but a copy cat thread.
That Canadians are always polite. I used to live in Montreal so I know they can be as nasty as anybody else.
That Canadians are greener than Americans. I think this was largely reinforced by Canada ratifying Kyoto and America not, but the exploitation of the tar sands should put this myth solidly to rest.
Have they ever tried to justify clubbing baby seals?
What’s to justify? We have a large population of seals. Culling doesn’t affect the population as a whole. The aboriginals have use for the meat and for the pelts and it’s a source of income.
Can you justify veal? Can you justify the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of chickens? The deer hunt? What’s the difference other than “seals are cute!” Really?
So you don’t care about the horrific manner in which the killing is done?
No. What’s so horrific? A whack to to the head.
Bbbbuut they’re baaaaybeees!
So a baby seal walks into a club…
Some insist that their beer is objectively better than American beer. Molson is a colder Budweiser. Until every brewery is Unibroue, don’t make these claims.
That Canadians are just more sensible versions of Americans. If that is the case, how do explain the Pamela Anderson and Justin Bieber types that get exported to American soil with alarming regularity? A single Celine Dion is like the nuclear strike on Hiroshima but we just took it to the chin and continue to do so.
Hoo aboat them sehying thet Canadehiens doen’t hove accents, or taak leik Americans?
Maple syrup. It’s good, but not that good.
The whole idea that Canada is some kind of uniquely arctic paradise (“true north strong and free”) is kind of silly. Sorry, but most of you live south of Seattle and the three territories have a combined population about a third that of Anchorage.
Yep, very true. And Vancouver is borderline subtropical, albeit a chilly subtropical. You can grow palm trees in coastal BC!
Our sense is shown by the bolded part. 
Them’s fighting words! :mad:
Maple syrup is certainly better than your typical pancake syrup, which IMO tend to be overpoweringly sweet.
Actually, the best pancake syrup I know of is the stuff you get at McDonalds. Seriously.
And let’s not forget … William Shatner. (Although I actually like him. If you’re out there reading this, Bill, I’m just kidding.)
No way. I’ve tried different maple syrups from Canada, and nothing beats Log Cabin or Aunt Jemimah. Seriously.
Blasphemy!
You should be dipped in that treacley stuff and pegged out for the ants. Or even the aunts. :eek:
Stop clubbing, baby seals!
(punctuation does matter)
I didn’t know the Canadians had propaganda until now.
