What do you think of the Canadians on PF?

[The Smoking Man]

Canada has to have the whimpiest flag ever. we have stars and stripes that represent our history. mexico has an eagle perched on a cactus with a snake from the aztec legends, but Canada has a leaf?! WTF?

Well, there ARE more trees than people.

I think they should go back to the Jack.

But then I also think the USA should have used vertical stripes on their flag so they look thinner.

Me and evo are basically going to take over Microsoft and literally eliminate our competitors. No more of this open source alternative BS.

Ah. Well. I'm afraid I'm going to be fighting you all the way on that one. My soul's worth more than that.

say that word aloud. is there a 'u' sound in it? no. you guys can't spell flavor or check, so leave us alone

aaaaah, but the 'u' in colour compensates for the lack of an 'e' at the end that would be necessary to make the 'o' a hard 'o' sound. :tongue2:
