I hope my polite brothers and sisters to the north have a great day! Never forget how awesome you are Canada!
TommyChongsBong
We have real, actual problems as well. Just like every country. I don't like this humble brag. Happy Canada Day just the same!
FlossieSkillicorn17
yes please. He was a fuckwit, now he's dead.
MostValuableDickbutt
Ironic that it's Canada Day. In Australia, it's the day we vote on our federal election (who the next Prime Minister is).
takeasneededforpain
I like this. I sit adjacent to CA everyday and meet great people. That is all. Happy CA day......even you French Canadians. You get a pass
HughLaurie
Nice try, Canada. I know I wouldn't hate it there, I've been there!
AMIMI89
Canada is my dream. I'm hell bent on immigrating there
nextgenpants
Didn't your prime minister try to justify his haircut with the declaration of the current year?

Although hockey can be our rage button.

Can we really talk about Canadian politicians with out mentioning Rob Ford
thelastpistachio
Since he's died, people who venerate him and people sick of hearing about him have made a treaty to preserve his memory by ignoring it
Austin10539
Canada is almost suspiciously good.
notasinglenamewasthoughtof
... Ive never seen a map of just canada...
Thishouldestroyou
um, excuse me. I think you put america's delicious bacon on that pancake illustration when you should've put the horrible Canadian bacon.
SparkTangent
Thanks for being Canadian, neighbor!
funeralpyre
I love Canada
AuthenticMexicanBurrito
Me too! I'll never go back to my home land lol
commish
Ha as an Irishman in Canada I already moved here. Unfortunately I'm working today
thelastpistachio
Hopefully not in a pub or bar.
HavenF
You forgot to talk about the gold reserves.

Vancouver's working poor population is over 10%, there are zero rights for immigrants and the province runs several monopolies.
PamelaSplooshPoovey
Zero rights for immigrants? The Chinese are practically running that city now.
HiddenSanity
To be fair, a lot of the 'chinese' aren't immigrants, we kinda imported a tonne of them to build railways with their blood a century ago.
PamelaSplooshPoovey
Yeah no, I'm talking about the waves of people who keep coming over. And I'm pretty sure none of the railroad workers are around anymore...
HiddenSanity
No, but their descendants are, there's a reason that VanCity's Chinatown is the most Chinese experience you can have without being in China.
PamelaSplooshPoovey
You can't truly believe that the current Chinese population is only or even mostly comprised of railroad workers' descendants
hamfishstone
I can't vote, and after 6 years only just became eligible for E.I, MSP assistance and i atill cant get housing support.
goonzilla
I moved out of Canada to get away from this shit
iamalreadyaghost
TommyChongsBong
What; humble-bragging?
thevortexmaster
To get away from a comic, that seems a bit harsh
goonzilla
You must be fun at parties.
thevortexmaster
I'm a beer drinking loudmouthed weird retard. I usually fare well at parties
goonzilla
Then my statement is relevant.
thevortexmaster
Yup
Dilatory
As a Canadian please shut the fuck up with this garbage. Nobody cares.
WhatTheDormouseSaid
He's an angry elf
Sarcastica
Check imgur today, clearly we do care.
Dilatory
You care about romanticised nonsense that reflects nothing about what Canada is actually like?
Sarcastica
I care about this day that we feel able to display pride in our country, when we can joke and laugh with people from other countries.
Dilatory
This isn't intended to display pride nor is it a joke, Polandball comics are jokes.
thevortexmaster
You're not acting very Canadian like. Calm down eh! Get a beer in ya
Dilatory
Har har har, ya hoser! Gosh this is hilarious, somebody get a camera crew
WhatTheDormouseSaid
Must be from the south pole
thevortexmaster
I'm being truthful. I'm Canadian, I have the day off, I'm drinking beer.
Dilatory
I've never met anyone that talks like that, I'm all for having a beer but this joke is worn out.Happy Canada day brother, have one for me.
thevortexmaster
I don't use "hoser" or "aboot" but "eh" is regular vocab for me. Either way this beers for you!!
WhatTheDormouseSaid
You're an angry elf
AbdulAdheemCampbell
Also genocide destruction of indigenous culture insane invasions of personal privacy and institutionalized racism.
AwkwardKyle
You guys really do take after America. Ain't that just the way.
actualjesus
I would agree that the natives were treated horribly, but very few people alive today had anything to do with it
HiddenSanity
Err.... no, lots of people involved are alive, some even working the same jobs, Like the Police that ignored vanishing woman for decades.
countingsheeps
The last residential school was shut down in 1996. These things didn't only happen hundreds of years ago. They are still happening.
grayjedi
The Residential School program didn't end until 1996. There are Millennials who went to Residential Schools.
thelastpistachio
There are people alive today who lived through residential schools. There sure as sugar are people alive today responsible for them.
actualjesus
Yes, but most who are alive today aren't. We should remember what happened, but holding most modern-day Canadians responsible would be like
actualjesus
holding modern day Germans responsible for the Holocaust, or white people responsible for slavery
HiddenSanity
Not the same, the Germans were abhorred with that shit and did everything to make amends. We try and ignore it when it's still happening.
rosiethereaver
....the Natives are STILL treated horribly. By people who are alive today.
edm2016
Tough as a white Canadian. Their culture was destroyed (a tragedy), but we're callous if we don't try to help and patronizing if we do. :-/
countingsheeps
At least the TRC is a step in the right direction. Now all Canada needs to do is take the recommendations seriously.
rosiethereaver
As a white American, I understand. But our governments are both continuing to fuck over Natives, and that's not ok.
