Canadian rider's vs american rider's.

The biggest difference I can think of is, we don't pay their prices. And we think prices are high in the USA. Other than the cost of everything difference, a lot of Canadians I've spoken to think Americans are a bunch of cry babies. Always complaining about something. I also know they don't like us much in Quebec.

I personally think that since there is only TWO countries in N America..we should abolish the border and have just one BIG country...that way I would be free to move to Arizona or Nevada without having the headache of immigration! "
I guess Mexico isn't considered a country?

In the US they say just came on in just ask anyone from AZ CA or TX.

"And they're probably right. We've got it so much better than the vast majority of the world yet we still find plenty to complain about. My experiences with the folks in Quebec have generally been positive ones although I have run into a few that were less than helpful, I think, because I'm not fluent in French. I had the distinct impression that they could speak English but simply refused to. I could be wrong about that. I've also met a number of Canadians outside of Quebec, especially on the eastern side of the country, that don't have much use for those in Quebec for the same reasons so it goes both ways!"
You are absolutely right! They can speak English, but refuse to. Out west, we must have both French and English on all packaging. In Quebec, English signage is illegal!

I guess it's not surprising. From what I understand, if Quebec had it's way, it would be a separate country, independent from their English speaking brothers and sisters. Sounds to me like we Americans don't exactly have a monopoly on "being a little full of ourselves" after all!

That difference right there is enough to sell me. Whenever I listen to a Canadian pontificate there is almost always some anti handgun posturing and I think they are highly misinformed about the RKBA and a little scared, judging from the statements that they all seem to parrot. i.e., "The government is our friend. Why wouldn't we trust it? It only wants what's best for us. etc."
Well I don't know were you met your "Canadians" but I have yet to know anyone that sprouts that BS! lol

You won't hear that kind of of talk from anyone around here that's for sure.

Yeah, I got an ear full about that from some folks I was working with in New Brunswick last summer. In New Brunswick, they're required to put up signage in English and French because of all the political BS from Quebec yet Quebec refuses to respond in kind and even passed legislation outlawing the use of English under similar circumstances.
