Canadians

Is there a disproportionate number of Canadians on this site, or am I imagining things? (I'm Canadian.)

i'd say we're sitting at 30%

i'd say we're sitting at 30% Canadian, 20% US, 30% European (mainly England), and the rest are split (of those who are vocal)

(im sure the web admins have some stats... some where )

 

...yes... I AM CANADIAN! *Chugs maple syrup*

I think there are just a reasonable handful of Canadians that are frequenters (I am as well).  I'd bet that the majority of traffic is American.

Guess there are just more atheists in Canada, we could only wish there were more here. Canada is like your attic, sometimes forget it's up there, but lots of really cool stuff. I can't remember who said but seems to fit. Peace

Godless heathens. We need to preemtively take them out.

It's probably cause Hell doesn't sound so bad after a winter in Canada.

This is why it's comforting to know that most Americans don't really know (or care) where we are on a map. If you show up on a map on CNN, your ass is getting bombed.

I'm not even in the north, and I'm now going out to excavate my car in a snowstorm. My theory, like the ancients, is that hell really warms up in the winter, when summer is held captive in the underworld. Or California. Sigh.

I like Canadians. I went out with one for a while. If I ever cross the pond I think it'll be to Canada rather than the US.

If the Hell myth had developed in an arctic society instead of a desert society, instead of being a place of extreme heat and no water to quench your thirst, we'd be outside naked in a perpetual blizzard. But, I've heard Canadians do on purpose(makes their nipples really hard).

It's true, it kind of makes me less of a Canadian. I played rugby instead of hockey, and I've only ever felled three trees in my life. What's with that?

It's kind of funny that

It's kind of funny that Illinios is a blue state. Having lived there, I can tell you that rural Illinois is not much different politically than the other two states in which I've lived. (OK and MS). I guess Chicago outweighs the rest of the nimrods.

Never forget that the national headquarters for the KKK is just a few hours from Chicago.  Granted it's in Indiana, but state lines don't count for much with ideologies.

Consider it like Atlanta: a Blue island in a Red sea.  Luckily the county that island is in counts for 40% of the state population.

Greetings from Mexico hermanos ateos.

communists tend to be atheists

there would tend to be a disproportionate amount of canadians here, owing to the fact that their communist leanings traditionally discourage theism, it being a  tool of divisiveness.  unfortunately, rational individuals thinking for themselves fall into the same category.

so where there once was a fresh, cool spring of free, individual thought, we now have a swamp, choked with the raw sewage sludge of Red Canada, so eager to disseminate their 'hip' socialist rhetoric to the free, 'dumb' American masses to the south.

and the sad part is that it's working....

Fear is the mindkiller.

Communist?? What are you talking about no communist agenda here, it is just socialist health care that's all, that everyone must also follow the rules and no one will get a  talking to.

Man. That got heavy quickly, didn't it?

I'm up to my ascot in snow over here. Nobody has time for hip socialist rhetoric. We pool resources for health care; ss that really communistic? Really? Maybe it's time to take that refresher course in economics and look up mixed economies, because the US and Canada are pretty close on the scale between "commie bastards" and "enlightened laissez faire capitalists".

Don't play hockey, and only three trees felled, and they still let you be a citizen? I should see if they would grant me citizenship as well. After all, I've been to America's hat on a few occasions. Given the apparently lax requirements, they just might offer me a seat in the House of Commons.

I got in by a technicality - my family's been here for about 300 years. At that point, they say, "okay, fine ... you're Canadian. Now learn how to play hockey before we all get really embarassed and ignore you."

New(ish) here... So. Cal

I've been lurking a bit and have only posted a little so far. Anyway, I'm a So. Cal native who took up playing ice hockey about 6 years ago. Of course it would be hard to convince any Canadian that what I do on the ice in any way resembles ice hockey, but it's fun all the same. I've been to Montreal once, and thought it was pretty cool. I'm an L.A. Kings fan, but I'm also a Canucks fan, since they actually stand a chance.

As a long-time Canucks fan and resident...I hope you mean "stand a chance at making the playoffs".  I can't see anyway that this team is capable of doing anything more than what they did last year.

I'm from sunny socal.  Actually, I live in Bakersfield in the central valley; sort of like the asshole of Calif.  Churches here are as plentiful as 7-11's used to be, half of them bible schools for lost souls wanting to do satan's work, and most of them evangelical.

Ummm... Yeah, they stand a chance at making the playoffs... but nearly losing yesterday to the Kings (who are dead last right now) doesn't bode well for them.

Another Canadian here. I

Another Canadian here. I think it has something to do with the fact that religious importance is significantly lower in Canada and UK relative to the USA. More people don't give a shit about religion... thusly a great portion of people feel free to be open about not being religious. While the very very religious are shunned more as being odd.
