Silliness

This article is just a copy-paste of the intro paragraph to Anti-Americanism.--Pharos 20:52, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Not anymore. CanadianCaesar The Republic Restored 00:26, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Articles for Deletion debate

This article survived an Articles for Deletion debate. The discussion can be found here. -Splash 22:40, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

"A few acres of snow"

Please quote Voltaire correctly; see the article entitled "a few acres of snow."

Tortured logic?

Bite me. Canadian self-deprecating humour very very very often focuses on false American stereotypes of Canada (viz. the American who drives up to the border in July with skis on his roof).

Decent edits in general, though, Marskell ;) --Gleemonex

It was just bad syntax. Marskell 14:58, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Delete this page

Someone please delete this page. If you read the article, there are only three mentions of anti-Canadianism other than that of Americans: Volitare, Brazil and Quebec. That's not anti-Canadianism. That's an American perception of Canada.

  • What's Canada Canada? Anyway, the fact that an article needs to be expanded isn't typically grounds for deletion. CanadianCaesar Cæsar is turn’d to hear 05:49, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Haha. You crack me up. The problem is the entire article reeks of anti-Canadianism from an American point of view. Again, I asseverate my opinion: this is not really an article about anti-Canadianism. Just a perception of anti-Canadianism through the lenses of an American.

Bouchard

OK, the only thing stopping me from reverting this is 3RR. Quote the edit summary, "This is ridiculous. Bouchard is a separatist, not a Canadian. This makes him neither left nor right." There are so many things wrong with that it's laughable. Maybe he's not a Canadian in spirit, but he lost the 1995 referendum, and thus, still resides in Canada and must pay the GST. Second of all, do you really think that if someone's not Canadian, they can't be left wing or right wing? OMG.... CanadianCaesar Cæsar is turn’d to hear 06:08, 22 May 2006 (UTC) After I read that I asked myself two questions: why would I give the flying **** about 3RR. Sure, Bouchard is a Canadian (I stand corrected on my first accusation that he is not a Canadian), but who are you to tell me that Bouchard is a leftist or rightist? For all that I care, Bouchard is a Quebec nationalist and nothing but a Quebec nationalist. (like his buddy Rene Leveque) And no, I did not say that if "someone's not Canadian, they can't be left wing or right wing." Politics 101 for yer head.

And what is up with this? Just because you disagree with the POV doesn't mean you can delete. Dude, you are very seriously hurting this article. Please, please stop hurting this article. CanadianCaesar Cæsar is turn’d to hear 06:10, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Really, how old are you? It's not me who seems to be disagreeing with this article. There seems to be a lot of people who don't agree with this article.

And now this: What makes you prefer a sentence fragment to a sentence? Are you doing all this in good faith? CanadianCaesar Cæsar is turn’d to hear 06:13, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
Am I not entitled to condense information in a manner that is both informative, succint and yet germane to the topic of the article at hand? Where, in the Misplaced Pages guidebook, am I not allowed to turn sentences into...what do call them, framgnets?
And, for the record, actual REFERENCE SECTIONS are preferred to external links right in the middle of the text that don't work. What was once a valid stub has been turned into a mangled train wreck. CanadianCaesar Cæsar is turn’d to hear 06:17, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
That correction is valid. I have provided the proper website.

Are these even arguments?

Really. Are these even arguments? Have you even read the article yourself? Other than Volitare, Brazil and Bouchard, it reeks of utter anti-Canadianism by an America. I'm glad its a mangled train-wreck. In fact, I'm hoping this article/"stub" gets deleted in a couple of days.

Oh by the way, I think you need to get that "Canadian" off your name, CanadianCaesar. Looks like you aren't really that Canadian after all, eh?

  • By the way, I looked at the achives of the debate over whether this article should be deleted. The archives show that most of the people wanted to either merge this article with Canada or delete it all together.
    • The article has significantly changed since the AfD debate. Anyway, I don't think "it reeks of utter anti-Canadianism by an America." ("an America"?) It does not endorse any views, but reports them, or at least it did until you deleted everything you didn't agree with. CanadianCaesar Cæsar is turn’d to hear 06:26, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
      • Ah yes, your political correctness provides me with yet another reason to laugh. Really, are you so grammatically perspicacious in public as you are right now? Please remember that, as I have so wisely pointed out, that despite your mumblings and ramblings, there are only THREE NON-AMERICAN ANTI-CANADIAN VIEWS: BRAZIL, VOLITARE AND QUEBEC. Doesn't this reek of anti-Canadianism by an American?
        • By the way, just for the record, most of the views expressed here either belong in the following articles: Canadian Culture, Canada, Quebec Sovereigntist Movement or Canada-U.S. Relations.
          • Just to top it all off, weren't you the one who started this article?
