I don't ever recall stating that everyone in Seattle questions whether we have the internet in Canada. You wouldn't find one Canadian doubting whether the US has the internet, Blackberries or telephones. Nor would they doubt that people in Argentina have the internet.

I can clearly see you like to generalize my post, because I never stated the US didn't have ethnic diversity. I simply stated they are clueless as to the ethnic makeup of their northern neighbours. They have no idea of the cultural mosaic we live in here in Canada.

And MacLeans is a Canadian magazine, how is a Canadian magazine article on Canadian companies going to inform people in the US? It don't exactly get the distribution TIME does.

And lastly, a handheld device can be a national icon, just like Wayne, the maple leaf, the mounties (for better or worse lately) and beer. How is that different from applie pie and badly made cars no one wants to buy in the US?



You do realize those ^^^ were pointing to your own post, right? So you must be talking about yourself not knowing how to quote. My quote was one solid, continuous quote, no error on my part.

Yes, you are right. I was referring to myself now knowing how to quote. I'll see if I can figure it out now, as I tear apart your argument

I guess there's no point arguing with you over which TV station is better. I'll tell you what. You can have your CBC; You can watch it 24 hours a day, for all I care. Just don't make me pay for it!

Now you're implying that Americans don't know whether or not Argentineans have the internet.

I wasn't trying to inform Americans. I was simply mentioning to you that I read a MacLean's article stating Cirque has a rather shady past.

What's wrong with apple pie? Or is this showing your great Canadian propensity to not stereotype or be ignorant?

As for national icons, if you were representative of all Canadians, our only national icon/identity would be to bash Americans.
