I’ve been overseas a lot this year, and if anyone asks where I’m from my go-to response is “I’m American but I’m telling people Canadian.”
It’s a cheeky joke, without actually needing to lie about where I’m from, and is a clear indication that I don’t agree with the batshit crazy that’s going on in my country.
People in here taking this rag seriously - you’re the same as the Fox News half of our country.
It used to be a rule that Americans wear Canadian flags, and Canadians wore MEC gear. But MEC sucks now. :(
Elbows up (as an american) Canada
I’m Canadian and pretty much every American I’ve met that came up here has been nice. Loud, but nice. but seriously, you guys are really loud.
magats usually arnt the ones travelling to other country, they only stay in thier own BUBBLE OF a community. the ones that are probably upper middle class or richer.
People just don’t notice the quiet ones. There are dozens of us.
Deaf from all the gunfire.
Can you make your font bigger, I went to public school and my eyes are a bit fried from all the muzzle flash.
Also don’t use more than a few words or I get bored and need a Tik Tok video to keep me focused between sentences.
I know there is a lot of TikTok users in the U.S. but is it higher percentage wise than most? It’s something like 1 in 3 people which seems pretty damn high. Almost 1 in 5 that logs in daily I thought I saw. No idea what it is elsewhere.
It’s tradition to have the newborn pull a trigger before they are named.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN LOUD
I’ll be making my 3rd trip up to Canada to snowboard this winter. My wife and I like to travel and like to leave the country, and I make it a point to be as little of a tourist as possible. Learn some local culture and do my best to respect it. I am loud, sorry about that, but I do try to not be a burden when in someone else’s place.
That’s great bud just take yer shoes off in the house
Of course. I’m an American, not a complete monster.
In my experience many Canadians are pretty loud too. Americans may have the edge though.
snowbirds in florida probably.
American tourists in disguise are not really fooling anyone.
But you don’t know how many are fooling you… I bet I could pull it off.
Why don’t you see elephants hiding in trees?
They’re really good at it.
Why do elephants paint their nails red?
To hide in cherry trees.
Why do elephants paint their scrotums red?
To hide in apple trees
What’s the loudest noise in nature?
Giraffes eating from apple trees
It’s really easy to tell if a tourist is american. Just get caught while trying to pickpocket them.

If your host is offended about what country you came from then you probably don’t want to be staying there anyways.
I mean there are ignorant people everywhere in the world. It’s impossible to avoid them completely. That said I’m American and have only rarely received harassment due to my nationality. But I haven’t been abroad yet this year so I can’t speak to how the atmosphere has change since Trump 2.
Better solution is just to explain to people that we don’t support what’s going on and we’re subject to our government against our will just like they are.
I’m an American who lives in Europe now, and it’s pretty rare that people don’t understand that I condemn what the US is doing now. A few people who have no idea who have some brain dead hot takes, but for the most part it’s met with understanding
Or, have you considered fixing your shit?
Are you implying that I personally can unilaterally fix the US’s shit?
Lol
You could stop pretending to be helpless and just one little old person for starters. Plan, collaborate with like minded people who aren’t pushovers for fascists.
Where’s all that “live free or die” rhetoric now? “Leader of the free world.” " Arsenal of democracy". “End of history”. We had to hear the nauseating rhetoric, now is the time to put up or shut up.

I’m willing to bet it’s more than you though.
My country isn’t in the middle of a fascist takeover in part because we do our civic duty.
You’re exactly the kind essentializing ignoramus that causes people to wear Canadian flags abroad.
You’re the one stealing my flag because you’re too embarrased by who and what you really are. Stop arguing with me, stop going on vacation and making excuses, put your money where your mouth is and go and fix your shit.
I don’t wear any flags because I don’t support authoritarian governments (including the Canadian government). In fact, if you paid attention, you might realize the comment you replied to was me offering an alternative solution for those who have this concern…
This is your brain on nationalism, folks. I hope you can find your way to recovery.
oh aye. I hate all those americans trying to pretend to be us the stupid hosers. Gotta go my order of poutine is up.
Greetings, fellow Candians!
What’s this all a boot, aye?
I’ll tell ya if you give me some loonies!
I’d throw on a state flag before the country flag, but it’s hard to do right because it’s the only 2-sided state flag.
Just pretend to be from California instead. They understand the difference.
- Mexico = Cindy Brady
- Canada = Jan Brady
- USA = Marcia Brady
Canadian: “Sorry.”
American: “Are you fucking sorry!”Canadian: Sorry.
American: You haven’t even said “Thank you” for my offensiveness.
It’s sorey, not sar-heee
