- pwarnock, on 10/25/2009, -5/+62O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. - chattin, on 10/26/2009, -9/+39O Canada! Terre de nos aïeux,
Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux.
Car ton bras sait porter l'épée,
Il sait porter la croix.
Ton histoire est une épopée,
Des plus brillants exploits.
Et ta valeur, de foi trempée,
Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.
Protégera nos foyers et nos droits. - Shabadoo, on 10/26/2009, -2/+27The Globe and Mail article says they'll only be worn twice (only once during the actual tournament, and once in a pre-competition game), so who gives a *****?
- shnuffy, on 10/26/2009, -2/+27Legalize it.
- sb66, on 10/26/2009, -1/+23Green is an important colour for Canadians.
/sparks another one - snootywaiter, on 10/26/2009, -1/+21Nope. Bacon is just bacon here. And ham is ham.
"Canadian Bacon" is just peameal bacon, so we just call it that. - angrytortilla, on 10/26/2009, -3/+22That "monopoly" money of ours was worth more than the greenback for a period of time, so watch your tongue, yank.
- robwhite1979, on 10/26/2009, -2/+19I don't think it's a HUGE deal, but red and white would make a lot more sense... It's like all this talk about how the logo for the winter Olympics looks like the logo for the conservative party (which it does)...
That being said, it's not just the jersey that represents Canada, it's also the person wearing it... - ic3burg, on 10/25/2009, -0/+17LOL "steer clear of TD banks and Tim Horton's" Nice....I don't see the problem, there are many maple leafs that are green....I Am Canadian!
- windandstorm, on 10/26/2009, -1/+18Burried GUG108
You may not know, but the official language in Canada is English and French, hence we have the anthem in English AND French. - Eikon89, on 10/26/2009, -1/+12Kazakhstan greatest country in the world.
All other countries are run by little girls.
Kazakhstan number one exporter of potassium.
Other countries have inferior potassium.
Kazakhstan home of Tinshein swimming pool.
It’s length thirty meter and width six meter.
Filtration system a marvel to behold.
It remove 80 percent of human solid waste.
Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan you very nice place.
From Plains of Tarashek to Northern fence of Jewtown.
Kazakhstan friend of all except Uzbekistan.
They very nosey people with bone in their brain.
Kazakhstan industry best in world.
We invented toffee and trouser belt.
Kazakhstan’s prostitutes cleanest in the region.
Except of course for Turkmenistan’s.
Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan you very nice place.
From Plains of Tarashek to Norther fence of Jewtown.
Come grasp the mighty penis of our leader.
From junction with the testes to tip of its face! - cmallinson, on 10/26/2009, -1/+11They are wearing green because the tournament is in Saskatchewan, and green is the colour of the Saskatchewan Roughriders. They are honouring that green tradition. The Saskatchewan fans (curse them by the way) are probably the most dedicated fans in the world, and that green colour is as much a part of their tradition as the stars and stripes are in the US.
Sure, the jerseys are ugly. I saw them and almost threw something at the TV, but then when I found out the reason, I relaxed. Sometimes it's more important to honour a tradition then to honour a brand. - HappyScrappy, on 10/26/2009, -4/+13Go Roughriders.
- MrHammer, on 10/26/2009, -1/+9Canadian beer. Yum. That is all.
- glue, on 10/26/2009, -0/+7Am I the only one who thinks it looks like a beer can? Is Alexander Keith's sponsoring the team?
- Johnagain, on 10/26/2009, -1/+8haha - no they don't, dipwad. Americans call it that, not the Canadians.
Newsflash! The french don't call them french fries, either. - windandstorm, on 10/26/2009, -0/+7I'm not sure what /Your uncle on thanksgiving means, but certainly your joking right?
- Bren, on 10/26/2009, -1/+8comment FTA "In our red and white thats a simbole of power and superiority"
(I'm from Saskatchewan, & hence, Canada).
Um... power & superiority eh? Two Canadian values if I've ever hear any...
Also, Roughriders are green & WHITE. Coward commenter would get punched in Sk. - CUGI08, on 10/26/2009, -4/+11It looks ***** retarded.
- Schmidtopolis, on 10/26/2009, -0/+6Moosehead.
- Johnagain, on 10/26/2009, -1/+7@cugi08 - Buried for being french? your dislike of the french is mis-placed. These are Canadians that just happen to speak french; it's their official language.(french and English) We love Canadians. I bet you do too.
Now, say you are sorry and give Canada a hug. - ChiffX, on 10/26/2009, -0/+5How I see it we have no green in our flag so it just doesn't sit right with me.
- KirbyMorph, on 10/26/2009, -0/+5As a Canadian, this is the first I've heard of this so-called "outrage". Buried for Americans sensationlizing and ***** digg listing.
- murrayc1968, on 10/26/2009, -0/+5Keep in mind the leaves turn red during the beginning of hockey season
- Johnagain, on 10/26/2009, -0/+5It's funny that you are a troll, and you think that's a good thing...
- Shakermaker, on 10/26/2009, -0/+5"....which would be akin to the USA's squad wearing purple in honor of the AFL's Milwaukee Mustangs."
Fail.
The CFL is a national professional team. It would be like the USA squad wearing purple in honor of the Minnesota Vikings. - shoff88, on 10/26/2009, -0/+4This article makes me happy to see a bunch people on Digg are from Saskatchewan
- alpha88, on 10/26/2009, -1/+5They call it monopoly money because it's coloured, even though it's much more practical, and most other countries have coloured money too. If I want a five, I pull out the first blue bill I see, if I want a 20, I pull out green, without having to flip through them to see which nearly identical bill is which.
- leif777, on 10/26/2009, -3/+7I don't know what's more retarded: The fact that they're doing it or the fact that people are so upset about it.
- Johnagain, on 10/26/2009, -0/+4TVarmy - sorry, but your attempt at comedy just sucked. I will give you points for effort, but the result was just above dismal.
"If you have to explain it, it wasn't funny"
"France" - that one was funnier, but since everyone hates france, it's a hard sell to this audience... then you had to explain again.
You are now in time-out. - alpha88, on 10/26/2009, -0/+4Mmm Keith's.
- plurk, on 10/26/2009, -0/+4We don't have maple trees in Saskatchewan and we are not really used to leaves at all during the hockey season so you'll have to excuse us for getting confused :)
- pennstyl3z, on 10/26/2009, -0/+4The fans wearing red and white, the players wearing green. The only way this could be any better were if the World Juniors were played during the holidays.. wait a minute!
- Johnagain, on 10/26/2009, -0/+4well, he is the 'angry'tortilla....
- heliumflash, on 10/26/2009, -2/+5Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.
- MrSteamTank, on 10/26/2009, -1/+4Haha...getting dugg down. I thought so. I'm as Canadian as Maple Syrup and I had to sing the anthem when I was a child all the time but you'd have to be deaf to think the anthem is any good. Not to mention we supposedly live in a relatively secular nation yet the anthem mentions god.
Listen to some of the most enjoyable anthems. 8P
http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2008/aug/11/olympi ... - manbeef, on 10/26/2009, -0/+3I don't get why you guys call our money monopoly money. I think it's pretty comparable to any other currency, and monopoly money was modelled after american currency anyways.
- SurlyDuff, on 10/26/2009, -0/+3Or Back Bacon.
- clippclop, on 10/26/2009, -0/+3And what a game. With games like that, i am surprised the CFL isnt more popular.
How many times is Durant going to pull us out of the deep end? That guy is going places. - cor315, on 10/26/2009, -0/+3"crazy monopoly money" This coming from the only country in the world that doesn't have crazy monopoly money. There's a reason for the different colours you know.
- DrunkenPirate34, on 10/26/2009, -1/+4Its because of the colors.
- Rhythmix, on 10/26/2009, -0/+3Wow an overly patriotic American bashing an Un-American phrase from an anthem composed more than 100 years ago over the internet? Oh lawd. Hey let me ask you a question an average American might be able to answer, what continent is Canada on?
- Jeffler, on 10/26/2009, -0/+3Which would still be ***** stupid.
- LilJimmyNordin, on 10/26/2009, -0/+3I'm from Canada, and nobody here worth mentioning gives two ***** about this jersey thing.
- clippclop, on 10/26/2009, -0/+3RIDER PRIDE!!!
Welcome to the sea of green Canada! - Gregus1032, on 10/26/2009, -0/+3well, it was worth more until canadians found out it's worth and bought monopoly games to capitalize on it, thus causing inflation.
- plurk, on 10/26/2009, -0/+3We could say the same thing about your national anthem Yank. :) The attack on Baltimore is not a disaster we like to be reminded of over and over again. As for saving us from the British ... the last time you tried that, it didn't go so well for you guys or us. We never asked to be saved (Madison just sort of assumed we'd welcome the help) and it ended up causing a lot of death and destruction on both sides (see War of 1812 for more details).
Also, while Alaska is more North than all of our major cities, our territory does extend further North than Alaska ... and I'm fairly certain our territory also includes True North and Magnetic North ... mind we are in a little dispute with Russia right now regarding True North. - toonworld, on 10/26/2009, -1/+3The french-canadiens (yes I spell it with an E because I am french) were the first to refer themselves as Canadiens.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadien#Etymology
The English later started using it. It still makes me laugh every time some snooty know-it-all mofo starts throwing a fit when I spell it "Canadien" - KDyneria, on 10/26/2009, -0/+2OSKY WEE WEE, OSKY WA WA, HOLY MACANA, TIGERS... EAT EM' RAW!!
- toonworld, on 10/26/2009, -1/+3Yeah I live in Quebec and I went to a french speaking school. I know that today we refer ourselves as Québecois. I'm one of the guys that don't agree with the whole "you have to be French in order to be a real Québecois" thing.
There are people who were born and grew up in the province of Québec and don't speak a word of french, but they are still Québecois.
Before everything else, I am a Canadien, but I'm also very proud to be a Québecois. I'm not too proud of how our Provincial government is acting, but that's another story all-together -
