Investigation into Canada’s New Brunswick brain syndrome is being blocked by the province, whose claims that the syndrome is various existing diseases have been debunked by federal experts, who suggest that the provincial government controlled by its forestry industry is blocking the investigation to retain tourism and industry.

    Everyone else seems to understand that they are attacking America, except you.

      Maybe you should worry about why it’s so easy to make jokes on america, maybe if we weren’t actively trying to out absurd the onion we wouldn’t be so easily joked about.

        Maybe. But that doesn’t change the fact that the obsession with shitting on America is equally absurd as the jingoistic “America is always the best!” obsession.

          I’m still not convinced it’s not just a joke about Canadians being to polite to kid a stranger out.

          Also how is your obsession with people being obsessed with shitting on\talking up America not equally absurd?

            Because I only point it out when it happens? I’m not like looking around for this, it’s just in most every thread. And I certainly don’t bring it up when it makes no sense. Although I admit I’m less confident now in my judgement based on this alternate explanation.

              So you engage in a huge multi thread rant drawing more attention to the joke and also painting the picture of yourself as someone whose deeply offended any time someone brings up America that you make up things to be mad about.
