Mike Myers states, “There’s nobody more Canadian, than a Canadian who no longer lives in Canada.” I’ve live away from Canada for years. Mike’s comment is right on point!

@SwobyJ 7 жыл бұрын

I think its true. Internally there's enough multiculturalism and neutrality about nationality, but externally we REALLY want to declare ourselves as Canadian. But this is also a sort of thing in many/most/all(?) nations, its just Canada doesn't embrace overt nationalism and its been so long with that, that this pattern has become an agreed trait.

I've lived in 4 different countries in this small world and I've been to several countries to visit and I've met people from all over the world, and I am Canadian. I had a Canadian style Gastro Pub overseas bc I am proud to be Canadian and I was offering a 'Canadian' experience. The view of Canada and Canadians from a majority of people from other countries is Canadians are considered 'The Friendly People'... After 9 years of living outside of Canada, I have learned that in general ppl like us Canucks.

Is it? I thought maybe he meant Mike Myers is about as funny as your average lead salesperson at Canadian Tire - which is true, and there's nothing wrong with that; your average lead salesperson at Canadian Tire is kind of a comical guy - who probably could be a successful comedian south of the border ....

@anatheistmyself 7 жыл бұрын

+0The0Grand0Corruptor0 This was why he got out of Canada and came to the United States of America! America is a true independent country, a place to dream big and to have those dreams turn into reality (hence: the land of opportunities). Mike Myers wanted to be a big Hollywood Star. He worked hard towards the goal and his want became real! However, at the end of the day, he never forgot Canada (some people will or worse, even deny). ... Never forgetting your origins is the most precious thing ever! *I am an American, and I am proud to be one. 😊

having recently visited west coast canada for the first time, and after spending time in america first, i agree with so much of what he says. Canada is a beautiful country, the people are generally really nice, the culture is driven by social liberalism and they do cities really really well too.. But unlike america, there was no film , music or book I could latch onto as a cultural reference point or point of comparison - in america everywhere I went I could imagine movies from my childhood, or bands I listened to. Still, I hope to go back to Canada very soon
