This is probably the first post you've ever made that I've actually agreed with.

 

[Godsbrother]

There is a much better selection of beer in the US than in Canada.  Not even close.

 

[rascal]

1. National Anthem

2. Hockey

3. National Symbol. Maple Leaf >>>> Bald Eagle

4. Maple Syrup

5. The use of the word eh

6. Curling

What do you have

I'll go with eh for national anthem but no way is a ####### maple leaf better than a bald eagle.

 

[Gachi]

Pretty sure Canadians don't go bankrupt trying to pay for cancer treatments.

True.

This is probably true but Canadian beer industry is very protectionist provincially, so we don't get the coast to coast distribution of craft beers like dogfish, goose island etc... referenced above. You get local Ontario beers in Ontario, local Quebec beers in Quebec etc... Nationally the craft beer scene is very diverse but you have to drive province to province to experience it.  I'd put Quebec as a province up against a lot of US states, and Ontario and BC aren't far behind.

Also,

Canadian Falls > American Falls

Canadian Great Lakes > American Great Lakes

Canadian Rockies > American Rockies

Also healthcare and obviously choice in political leaders.

 

[Steve Tasker]

 choice in political leaders.

Exhibit A

Exhibit B

 

[roadkill1292]

Health care, weed, political structure.

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

That may be true, although breweries like DogFish, Lagunitas, Goose Island and Ballast Point are nationwide at this point.  

I do think though that the smaller breweries are so intregal to the U.S. beer scene that you can't simply omit them and make this a battle of the macros. 

Screw.your crappy goose island pee beer.

Molson n labatt is all you need

I was going to say Summer.

Piss off. If you wait long enough that leaf will eventually change colour and then fall off the tree. That gets me chubbed up just thinking about it.

 

[Ned]

Wow, lots of eagle lovers in here. I never knew. You guys should move to Alaska. Tons of them there

You think a leaf is cooler than a predator?

Eagle is infinitely cooler that a stupid leaf, but an eagle is more of a scavenger than a predator.

Huh?  Same lakes except you only get to enjoy 4/5 of them 

Or are you talking about Lake Winnipeg and Great Slave Lake, etc

I was mostly trolling but I have a lot more faith in Canada protecting it's shorelines and ecology of the great lakes than I do the US.

Molson & LaBatt are pretty much the same as Coors Banquet.  If this is the style of beer you enjoy then fine.   I prefer ales to most lagers and I enjoy a variety of style when I drink.  To each his own though...

If this is wrong, I don't want to be right.

Assumed this would have been the performance you linked.

 

[Grace Under Pressure]

The woman who sang Oh Canada for the Rangers/Canadians game last night definitely loved herself some Canada, that was a very cool performance.

Then the Rangers scored the winning goal in overtime, silencing the crowd, which was better.

Winning>Canada

You are underrated as a poster

who is wrong about everything.

At least the US doesn't have to claim Justin Bieber.

Canadians do lacrosse better

and doughnuts too

 

[wikkidpissah]

I think Canadians are better at comedy.

Poutine rocks.

Poutine is hilarious. nufzed

Has anyone mentioned "have land north of the US?"  They do that a LOT better.

I'm aware of the World Lacrosse Championship series. The reason the US wins most of the time is that field lacrosse is the dominant form of the game in the US, while in Canada it is box lacrosse.

Box lacrosse is the better game (to play and to watch) and Canadian players are, on average, more skilled because they have honed their skills playing a rougher game in tighter quarters.

Of all time great players of the sport, both at the NCAA level and in professional/international play, a staggering number are Canadian considering the population difference between Canada and the US.

I could be wrong, but it's seemed to me that Canadians have always focussed much more on box lacrosse (because of the hockey influence), while preppy American universities have had field lacrosse on lockdown.

[northern exposure]

is this the thread where Canadians express desperation and hope to their older/better looking brother?

No, I think this is the thread where the insecure older brother gets threatened by a joke made by the younger brother and puts him in a headlock to show his dominance.

Worries about our nation's masculinity fueled a lot of presidential votes this past November. The backward hat wearing brigade (sorry, Rud) watching football at Buffalo Wild Wings ain't settling for the U.S. not being able to back everyone else down.

"International Noogies" was the name of my one-man show on climate change. Critics called it "stormy" and "moist".

I saw a bald eagle on my walk to work last week.  I see them all the time here.
