why does everyone blame Canada?

Who do people always blame Canada?

EXCUSE ME! I take some form of offense to this, as I am heavy Canadian, and don't think it is fare to state that! PEople only "blame" Canada is because they either don't realize what we're trying to do as a poeple and are participation in the world, or they think we're a bunch of Snow_trudging yahoos, who depend on our "big brother" ( ) the states!

what do people blame them for? if anything, people assume that they are absolutely impotent in the grand scheme of things.

@Aegis: I was not being offensive to your or your country. I don't blame Canada. It's just that I have heard a lot of blaming Canada jokes from TV, radio, people, etc. I am just wondering why everyone does that.

Personally, I blame New Kids on the Block for all that is wrong with the world.....

@Humanflyz: I'm not pissed at you, it's sterotypes, and other crap like that.

I've been wondering the same thing. I have had several Canadian friends and I have never seen any reason to blame Canada...though...if it is a political thing, then that would explain why I don't know the answer to this question.

@SS: It's the fact that Canadians so readily accept what other Countires tell them. The States tell us to be more like them, so what happens? Our Government starts adopting more of their practices. For the longest time here in Ontario, we had Free Health care! Some Sleaze-ball Priemer comes in, likes Americans so much, adopts the idea of Paying for Health Care. So what hapens, funding goes away, health care degenerates, and people get pissed off and violent. Suddenly, we've just become more like Americans (No offense to all those non-violent Americans, I know some of you are good). Canada is too much of a lapdog, and the fact that most Canadians don't realease this is very frustrating! I hate to see things like "Canada is too blame", or "Go to Canada, they like everyone", and other **** like that. We have been sterotypes, and lap dogs of other countires all our lives, and I am really sick of it. I used to be able to joke about crap like this, but I can't anymore, because it's no longer a joke. The jokes are dead, and it's becoming insulting. I am one of the biggest Canadian Patriots in the Country, and even I am growing impatient with the friggin' place!
