Part of the reason Canadians are seen as being so uncool is that whenever Canadians start getting cool, they most likely move to the US and the world assumes they were American from the get go.

Which rather proves the point that Canadians are not cool, I suppose....
personally i blame curling.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

I don't think you can apply the term cool to someone who is a 'proper' Brit.  :bowler:

In a bizarre way you can.  It is that kind of cool that comes with stopping your subjugation of Africa for a bit because it is tea time or wearing a kilt as part of a combat uniform.

Not that the subject matter is of dire importance.

One has to wonder, where do French-Canadians fall into that ranking?  :hmm:

Your hatred of Obama is greater than you love of America to the point you want us to be seen as less cool  :mad:

I feel embarrassed for Obama more than anything.
