I don't get upset at the world much. I don't see the point. Might be a bit of nihilism in me (thanks Big Lebowski), but the shit that happens in the world doesn't sway me one way or another. What I do get upset at is the personal stuff. Small shit, shit that has no bearing on anyone else really, but pisses me off. For example, I get pissed off at hockey because sometimes, my team mates don't feel like competing that day. That shits me, because I am a competitive person, and I play hockey because I love to compete. Winning is also important, but knowing that my team mates and I went out there and did our best to defeat the opposition is more important.
Gee that sounds a bit fucking sappy now it's written. It is the truth though.
Recently, however, something has started to get on my nerves. One of those big things that normally doesn't get to me. "War in Iraq?" I hear you ask. "Maybe it's the whole Palestine/Israel thing?" Nup, although in some ways it is related to these things.
The thing that is shitting me off at the moment are those god damned holier than thou Canadians. I generally like Canadians. In many respects Canadians are much like us Aussies, what with all the drinking and general easy-goingness. But some of them have taken up a bad habit of telling everyone how good they are, almost always with respect to their southern big brother.
What I liken it to is when the eldest son, lets call him George is getting in trouble. "George, have you done your homework?" screams mother from the kitchen and up the stairs. "No!" replies George in that arrogant, 'I won't do my homework if I don't want to' tone that comes so easily for a disgruntled teen. Then you can picture the little brother; let's call him Paul, sitting at the breakfast bar adjoining the kitchen who snivels to mother "I've done my homework mum, aren't I good?"
And doesn't everyone hate that snot nosed little bitch trying to weasel his way into mum's good books.
The yanks might have done some fucked up shit, that's not important to my point. But there are some Canadians who just want everyone to know how good they are at the moment by comparison to the yanks.
Once again, I like Canada, they in the most part do a good job of existing and not being a pack of fuckheads. Alright, they could do with a few decent sports, and maybe less French speaking, but nobody's perfect. Bottom line is, stop comparing yourself to the yanks, it does you no favours.
Just as a final point, I don't do 'issues', I just want to make that doubly clear. Don't tell me about how bad the yanks are, or hit me with the crime stats of Toronto, I don't care. This is merely an observation I have made that is starting to irk me.
Be good to yourself, and each other

I'm an Aussie too, so I see Canadians as kind of like New Zealanders - they attach themselves to a larger country and take all the credit for being liek the larger nation when good things are said, but deny any similarity when the shit hits the fan.
But Canadians don't like sheep quite as much. They are more into moose or whatever they get up there.

Well...I'm glad this isn't another "Canadians/Americans/the French suck because blah blah blah" posts, so +1 for that. But this message basically says 'some Canadians are jerks' and you can pretty much say that about any nationality.
Personally I think Canadians have a bit of American-penis-envy. We want so badly to measure up to this giant enterprise of a country (while at the same time being different) that we end up latching on to every little difference, every little victory, and touting it as a major triumph.
Truth is, people kind of suck everywhere

Can you give a reason to care what you think of Canadians?
