Wow this was great. As a Canadian I do not find any of those cons insulting or a down side to Canada. Celine Dion can not be a con. I must say she is an amazing singer, and you must appreaciate her even if you arn’t Canadian. If an American could sing like that would you not be proud?
lol hi adel and alex if u go back to this site
I would love to move to Canada (currently in AZ) it would be a wonderful change from the 120 degree heat, but celine dion.. i dont know if i can handle that, my parents went to her concert and they were scarred for life.
Wow i think Arizona is amazing and i would love to move there. Celine Dion happens to be my hero, thank god i live in CANADA. WEED IS NICE!! and it makes Celine Dion look like a god when you light that blunt! yeahhhh niggaaa!!!
Oh wow – how un patriotic can a US civilian be? Dissent in the true form of Patriotism and yet this person degrades another contry cuz he doesn’t understand its premise of being. Sound familiar Bushies? PRO: No longer having a tool for neo-conservatives as my leader.
CON: Feeling guilty about abandoning my country during one of its darkest political periods. So what was the American Revolution about? hmmm dissent of the Monarchy? yet you wanna pick on Celine Dion – who sold more records in Canadian history IN the US. Get outta of the two party system and SEE there are more socialable ideas. Democracy fails every 300 years – live with it.
Luckily Celine Dion lives in Vegas. But I understand the tarnish on our name.
WOW haha i have to say im likin the sounds of canada
i have a friend there so instant citizinship for the newlywed haha
anyways im also in arizona and yes i can be beautiful here but the heat and population is wayy to much for me. While i may have a small job, its going to be harder to get a bigger job when im done with college and stuff. Im finishing high school and seriously contemplating whether or not to move there even with a couple of friends. Im not liking where this country is going
Lol the metric system as a con? It’s 100 times more accurate than the shitty imperial system which any other good country doesn’t use anymore.
Ha, that was funny; I think I feel better now about Canada
I am British and my parents have decided we will be moving to Canada as soon as I finish school And A level (for people who do not know what that means, it means that event though, I only have to stay at school till I am 16, I have chosen to stay on until I am 18 to specialize in certain subjects)
The point being that I am little more enthusiastic about moving to Canada
I love this, I just wish there were references.
I love this, I just wish there were reference citied.
Celine Dion lives in the states and never comes back to Canada, so shes more of a burden on the US than Canada
I have been wanting to move to Canada recently, and this made me want to move even more!
Tim Hortons > DnD
It’s basically a safer, cleaner, quieter, less crowded, our leader sites in the commercial section in sports centers, colder(for 5 months of the year), place to live.
Im actually super lucky to live in such an epic country.
canada’s not that bad. i live here. i barely ever heard of Celine Dion.
i don’t care. i like canada, and that’s where i’m staying.
