Anyone got a drone I can borrow?

We have a massive inferiority complex. When you have the cultural behamout that is the U S of fuckin’ A to the south of you constantly blowing in your ear, we’ll take any chance we can get to mention that so-and-so is Canadian or Canadians did x successful thing.

We’re normally a pretty reserved bunch until one ours becomes successful at something and then we’ll go to great lengths to pat ourselves on the back that x is Canadian.

Also, for the record Celine Dion is shit. So is Bryan Adams, Avril Lavigne and Nickleback are the world’s worst abonimation to music.

On the upside we’ve been responsible for some great musicians like The Guess Who, The Band, Neil Young, Rush, Nelly Furtado and Richie Hawtin to name a few.

My mate Bry, absolute legend!

Sorry, but not having that the ‘Groover from Vancouver’ is shit.

‘Tragically Hip’ on the other hand are/were not just a shower of shit, they were like standing underneath Niagara Falls with slurry cascading over it.

I’ve moved on and so have they. They’re still around - albeit much smaller and making IOT software. Regardless, during their prime they were a catalyst company for so many other tech companies in my area. It’s a reason Google has a huge office in Kitchener of all places.

I don’t expect anyone who isn’t Canadian to get the hip, but your opinion is still objectively incorrect. Gord Downey was a national fucking treasure and one of the best front men to ever live. Carry on.

Also, no one here likes Celine Dion or women’s football.

I was never a fan either. Gordon Downie was a great songwriter and had an interesting voice, but the backing music was bland.

Nickleback are far, far, faaaar worse however!

Bryan Adams is absolute tripe, Scott

Mad_Cyril not bouji enough for you? I’d take a cup of their dark roast (no milk or cream) over any of the swamp water the likes of Nero, Costa and Starbucks serve over here (I accept that’s a low bar to start with)!

Do whatcha wanna do. Say what you wanna say, Comer.

Well in, though.

True story, my mate is one of Canada’s only Ableton Certified trainers and goes on tour with her and a bunch of other big name artists like Drake, Frank Ocean, Childish Gambino, etc. doing all of the Ableton backing tracks work for them. He started out in the rave scene and still does gigs within electronic music when not out on tour.

A very low bar.

Used to grinding fresh to how my own preference, unless you find an independent coffee shop it’s hard to get close.

Your first sentence is essentially bang on 😂

There’s no love like Canadian love. And no country could give more love. There’s nowhere unless they’re there. All the time. All the way. Right, Loopy?

Smallman1

Is Canada any cop?

I have yet to visit.

ScottBailey

Smallman1 been many times. Toronto multiple times, Montreal, Ottawa, Calgary. Loved it all.

It’s a massive fucking place. Some parts are shit like Alberta, dead horse Ontario border towns, Quebecers when they slight you for speaking English, etc. Other parts are amazing - like Alberta’s portion of the Rocky Mountains. The Cabot Trail out east is stunningly beautiful, British Columbia is gorgeous from top to bottom (except the East End in Vancouver). Quebec City is the oldest city in North America and makes you feel like you’re standing in the middle of Europe. Montreal is the food capital of the country and has one of the best nightclubs in the world with Stereo. Toronto is a melting pot of all cultures from all around the world.

It’s a pretty decent place to live - albeit much more expensive in the major population centres than you’d think your £ would go.

Until the men’s team’s more recent success, they were the media darlings and consistently out-drew the men’s attendances and sold out stadiums. I believe it’s the CWNT who still hold the attendance record for ‘soccer’ in Canada, so I beg to differ. I dare say more people are likely to know who Christine Sinclair is over Alphonso Davies or Jonathan David - and rightly so.

I watch and cheer them on, but it’s definitely a slower and more frustrating watch.

Based on the media coverage the CWNT are getting here and worldwide, the press and headlines would have you believe it’s the only sport we’re competing in at the Olympics

You would, Scott.

On account of having zero taste.
