English-speaking People Hate and Envy Canadians

Why do English-speaking people who are not Canuck hate and envy Canadians? Yes, my question includes Michiganians. Can it be envy do to their poutine eating status? As you know, Canadians DO NOT need a green card. Canada is part of North America. Canadians are not immigrants. Again, what is the problem between English-speaking people who are not from Canada and Canadians?

@tsarstepan,

I hate and envy them because they have Mounties - they have really cool hats and ride horses.

Seargent Preston of the Yukon, northwest mounted police and his wolf dog King. He was an RCMP back in the gold rush days of the 1880s Yukon Territory.

@tsarstepan,

And y'all got the better side of Niagara falls.

I'm definitely green with envy over that.

@Ragman,

I recall back in '39 when the show was called Challenge of the Yukon.
Back in them there days, Preston was a trooper who joined the RCMP to find his fathers killer. I didn't pay it much heed at the time as there was a war a brewin'.

However, I ain't never seen a Canadian in Burroughs Park, Tomball, Tx, or a gator either for that matter, despite the plethora of warning signs.

@neptuneblue,

speaking of money I hate Canadian pennies - they find their way here in the US and they are useless. No one will take them.

Them and those damn Canadian Geese - I hate those as well - keep em up north where they belong

@Linkat,

We haven't used pennies in years; they're completely out of circulation so I don't understand why you're getting them.

We don't like the Canada goose, either Smile

Still confused about the $3 coin. We have a loonie and a toonie - what would the three dollar be called? The throonie?

@Mame,

I like Canada geese, if only for their family values. Unlike our slutty Mallards.

@roger,

While I do like watching (and photographing) Canada geese ...

... I do hate that my favourite radio station closed down 51 years ago. (The Canadian Army's Radio CAE had been broadcasting on FM - better than AFN on AM, and BFBS was a bit unspectacular because everyone listened to it)

@Walter Hinteler,

CBC is miles more informative , ntertaining, an downright funny than any US Our radio has degraded into faction play, ven music. The only way to get ecent programs is through SIRIUS, and I listen to the various CBC offerings. mostly on tims im in the studio

That's probably why - someone slips it in with our regular US pennies (looks similar) - and then you are sh*t outta luck when you get one - might as well toss in the garbage.

They poop every where - why I don't like them. If you have a lot of them around any where you can walk -- you won't like them either.

I used to live in area at the outskirts of a business park - was a pretty area to walk around in with some ponds. These darn geese would always be around and you would have to jump around the poop and then one of these geese was near by me and hissed. I just hissed back and said get away from me - I am bigger than you!
