A few years back Sportsnet had a commercial that went something like this; "How do you make a Canadian mad? Make him miss the hockey game. And if you haven't seen a Canadian when he's mad, just watch a hockey game".

And that's the reason, they were missing hockey season. ;)

Because most Canadians are British. There's a few French and a few Red Indians but other than that most Canadians are Brits who were born there because their British parents or grandparents colonised the land and the British colonisers gave birth to the Canadians of today.

Imagine 30 billion Martians coming down to Earth and taking it over. The Martians have technology and firepower the Earthlings are in awe of. They tell Earth's 8 billion humans that Earth now belongs to them, the Martians. Soon the 30 billion Martians reproduce and then their offspring reproduce and the native Earthlings can't keep up. Soon, Earth is controlled by the descendants of the Martians.

That's a bit like Canada today after what the British did to it when the Red Indians ran proceedings.

Sorry Blackie not really even close . Certainly Canada was a bunch of British or Hudson’s Bay settlements however they were not homogeneous. The black soil was mostly gobbled up by Eastern Europeans in B.C. The prairie‘s European
As far as not fing with Canadians , ask the Germans , they know .

During WW1 the German Army had ZERO respect for the Continental armies and not much more respect for the British army. But they both feared and respected the Canadians' abilities to the point that they actually gave them quite an honour by calling them "Sturmtruppen", which were Germany's most elite units in WW1.

During WW2 some German veterans who managed to get out of Stalingrad and fought in the Battle of Ortona called it "Little Stalingrad" due to the ferocity, tenacity and sheer ruthlessness of the Canadians.

In Korea a company of Canadians held off two regiments of Chinese supported by armour and by the time the shooting was done, there was one dead Canadian and several hundred dead Chinese. To be fair however, the Canadians did benefit greatly from some seriously good artillery support from ANZAC gunners.

Like I said, don't make us miss hockey season because we won't be all smiles and maple syrup about it.

Yeah but most British are Normans and Anglo-Saxons and Vikings and probably some Roman in there too. There's still some actual Britons but other than that most British are French, Germanic and Scandanavian because their parents invaded and colonized the land and the colonizers gave birth to the British people of today.

Probably explains a LOT about British colonialism because that's how Britain came to be what it is.

Even the Celts are invaders. The only non-invaders of those islands are the Picts. Been to their embassy lately?
