Well for all those flag wavers south of the 49th, I finally have one for you...LOL

Its sort of know around the world that if you have a Canadian flag on your backpack or luggage you usually are treated very well. WE as CANADIANS have a very high international profile as a non-invassive country still tied to Europe in some ways.

Well it seems that the travel agents down in the South of the USA have noticed this and have created Go-Canadian packs for international travellers.

Hmmmm... Everyone wants to be Canadian now??? Try some BEEF or SOFT WOOD Lumber....LOL..

Here is the article.....

J-EH!!

 

Just read that same article too. Couldn't help but chuckle

I agree, if they really wanna act Canuckish then they oughta have some Alberta beef between their teeth! And some BC toothpicks at least!

 

That should be treason...

 

EH?

 

i think so too... but many american backpackers in europe/africa/middle east/asia have been doing things like this [attaching canadian flag patches] to their bags to avoid hassles for years... seems like they don't like americans out that way...

 

I'd rather have a club sticking out of my backpack than a Canadian flag, though. Maybe a sword. Ahh, Scottish Claymore, then nobody would mess with me, right?

 

In certain parts of the world that'll get you killed - you would be better off sticking with the Maple Leaf.

Ahhh, everyone hates Americans these days, even the Canadians are starting to from what I hear. I personally wouldn't put on a fake show to get people in other countries to treat me better, I don't care one bit what people from other countries think about me.

 

All right you smarty pants Canucks...... We are going to put toll booths every 50 miles down I-75 and I=95 and charge you $50 AMERICAN at each one if you dont tell us.................. WHO'S YA DADDY..

Besides, if you put a Canadian flag on your backpack......Everyone would talk to you rrrrrrreeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllll........sss ssssllllllllllooooooooooowwwwww.
so you can understand...

 

Meh.. thats just because all canuks are pacifist's and everyone knows it's no fun to slap around a bunch pacifist's....

 

Well, still I have not seen anybody with a Canadian Flag. But sure I think is a great idea.

I am Spanish and I do not care about international policy. So If I see somebody of any State of America, or from Canada, I simply ask him about his truck

 

Scotty????

I hope you have some help......

 

Scotty????......

and if I do bring some help are you going to sick your 19,500 man army on us???

 

Actually, comments and attitudes like yours are a good example why some Americans feel the need to assume Canadian identities when travelling abroad.

 

Well stated, doc. Love Canada and the great people - - they just have some lousy journalists with poor taste and judgement that need shipping back over to France. They seem to enjoy stirring the pot. Hmmm, come to think about it - - I remember some of those over here, too. Where can we ship them? How about IRAQ?
