Seriously, I haven't even heard of any of those shows before, let alone wasted time watching one of them.
Too bad, as most of them are a lot better than most of the drivel the US produces.

Funny thing this; here we are on a thread posted by an American, reading dismissive and derogatory comments directed towards Canada by Americans, and yet it's Canadians with the inferiority complex?

Hey guys here's a thought for you: All this so called protection you've been providing us from some hypothetical boogyman hiding in YOUR closet or under YOUR bed would be better used shoring up your own image vis-à-vis being the biggest and best at anything; 'cause last I looked it ain't us borrowing money from China and then printing more by the truckload to downgrade the debt. It ain't us being chased out of every country you've stupidly attempted to interfere with militarily.

You folks have had your hat handed to you more times by lesser nations than a geek with pimples showing up as a blind date.

A history lesson review of how Canada has actually come to your rescue a few times while you, on the other hand have actually been the bully aggressor in any interactions with Canada, might go light-years to filling that vacuum above your pie-holes. As a true ally, you guys are short on memory and long on bullcrap. All hat and no cattle.

Yes yes, I'm fully aware that you guys are sensitive about this. You've still got a monarch. Queen Elizabeth is still The Queen of Canada.

I don't know why so many Canadians are indifferent. We told the royals to f-off centuries ago.

We've figured out how to build sewage treatment plants. When is your city going to join the rest of the developed world?
