This is some bullshit, I can’t even lend a hand

as a British pervert, I'm guessing you must be the Canadian?

So for the first time we don’t get lumped in with the yanks, we get lumped in with the Brits instead???

We just can’t win.

Canada is the comma of nations. Technically it's supposed to be there, but no one notices if it's missing.

Canada's influence is so weak they couldn't even convince the world their bacon is actually bacon.

Canada's claim to fame is being slightly more interesting than North Dakota.

Canada's national anthem sounds like an apology letter set to music.

Canada's idea of influence is having 90% of their population living within 100 miles of the US border and constantly asking "hey what are you guys up to, eh?"

Edit: (Love you, Canada!)

Canada only exists today because it is America’s hat and the founding fathers drew a line way farther south than the British originally thought they would. You can actually find the map used by the British which showed just how much territory they were willing to give to America after the revolutionary war, it’s wild to think about.

I've enjoyed every time I've ever been to Canada except for one time when a young truck driver and his friend at a bar took offense to me calling him an asshole for being rude to the bartender, tried to beat me up in the bar, got kicked out, and then over an hour later when me and gf called a cab and left, he and his friend jumped popped up from behind a snowbank across the street and sprinted at us.

We got into the cab before they got there, the driver was confused, we told him to lock the doors and go, and then the dudes got there and started beating on the windows screaming for us to get out. Then the driver got it and peeled off.

Alcohol: it's not for everyone. But I almost have to admire the dedication to wait outside behind a snowbank for over an hour in the middle of winter just to try to beat someone for saying "don't be such an asshole." Turns out not all Canadians are nice!

This piqued my curiosity. It took some digging but I found what you're referring to - any other curious readers can search their favourite engine for the following:

"Oswalt red line map treaty of Paris"

There aren't many sources and none are particularly high quality, but it's certainly interesting.

British pervert

Don't worry if anyone sees you...

All the lights are on, but the blinds are down.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Nope. I am neither, and I get the same text. It's probably US Only.

American politics forces itself on me and I can't even vote in their elections, that's fucking bullshit. No spamming without representation!

[-] madjo@feddit.nl 3 points 1 month ago

I'm not Canadian, nor British. I demand an apology! And a proper insult to my nationality! 😄

[-] nixx@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Based on your .nl, I will assume you are tall, ride a bike everywhere, and love cheese. But I’m sure some yank will find something offensive to call you. Just be patient.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Same here! As we all would be victims if Trump get reelected, I'd like to support you and buy those cards!
