American vs Canadian

Americans and Canadians are opposites in the way they are portrayed. Americans are the tough, powerful and big country. Canadians are seen as more of the peaceful and caring and kind. Americans are seen as military focused and love war. The Canadians are seen as having a good, stable economy and the Americans is crashing and focused ion war preparation. The Americans are obnoxious and insult the Canadians as the Canadians apologize, saying that
Americans are rude and Canadians are polite. Americans are rude, have dirty cities and constantly want war. Canadians love their hockey and beer, say eh a lot and known for the RCMP. This is not how each country really is. The base of the stereotype is true but it is very exaggerated. Americans are not overly rude and are not always war focused, just like Canadians are not always polite and don't love beer more than any other country.

Close to Heart Poem

It’s rolling hills, and vast forests
It’s the sunsets, sunrises, and the star filled night sky
It’s farms, it’s ranches, and it’s rural lifestyle
It’s waving to your neighbors as your passing by
It’s enormous whitetail bucks, and huge pike
It’s seeding in the spring, and combining in the fall
It’s long and cold winters
It's short and hot summers
It’s sledding and mudding, and flying on the dirt roads
It’s good times, and partying out in the bush
It’s the only place I will ever call home
It is the prairies

Strange Brew- Canadian Stereotypes

In Strange Brew Canadians are stereotyped as beer lovers that say eh a lot. We wear toques, flannel shirts and parkas all the time. Call each other hosers and hose heads. Love hockey and hockey. I think they portray Canadians as being stupid also. I don’t agree with these stereotypes. Some of them are true but they over emphasize it in the movie. We do say eh sometimes, but not at the end of every sentence like in the movie. Canadians don’t drink anymore beer and eat doughnuts than any other people. I have never heard anyone say hoser or hose head, besides Mr. Nickel, so I don’t know how that is a Canadian stereotype. Also Canadians don’t wear flannel shirts, toques and big coats. They make us look like, dumb, socially retarded people. I find this movie offensive as a Canadian, that does not wear a flannel shirt and toque every day, eat tones of doughnuts, love hockey or say eh restlessly.
