#75 Threatening to Move to Canada
February 24, 2008 by clander
Often times, white people get frustrated with the state of their country. They do not like the President, or Congress, or the health care system, or the illegal status of Marijuana. Whenever they are presented with a situation that seems unreasonable to them, their first instinct is to threaten to move to Canada.
For example, if you are watching TV with white people and there is a piece on the news about that they do not agree with, they are likely to declare “ok, that’s it, I’m moving to Canada.”
Though they will never actually move to Canada, the act of declaring that they are willing to undertake the journey is very symbolic in white culture. It shows that their dedication to their lifestyle and beliefs are so strong, that they would consider packing up their entire lives and moving to a country that is only slightly different to the one they live in now.
Within white culture, it is agreed upon that if Canada had better weather it would be a perfect place.
Being aware that this information can be used quite easily to gain the trust of white people. Whenever they say, “I’m moving to Canada,” you must immediately respond with “I have relatives in Canada.”
They will then expect you to tell them about how Canada has a perfect healthcare system, legalized everything, and no crime. Though not true, it will reassure them that they are making the right choice by saying they want to move there.
But be warned, they will reference you in future conversations and possibly call on you to settle disputes about Canadian tax rates. So use this advice only if you plan to do some basic research.
Note: Canadian white people threaten to move to Europe.
Note: Europeans are unable to threaten to move anywhere.

finally a piece of writing in english that actually views “white ppl” as another race as opposed to the control group/norm/status quo!
thank you for reminding the white people that they are just as “ethnic” in the eyes of other cultures and have countless laughable acts of insecurity that all human beings come to face.
i applaud you, and you know you have nailed something good when you have 3 million hits in 2 months.
keep up the good work.
The site is interesting, but there is no such thing as “white people.” Germans, English, Dutch, French, Ukranian, Norwegian, Danish, Serbian, Italian, Spain, Greece…and on and on… all these countries have different cultures. When they come to American or Canada, they assimilate somewhat, but if a white person goes to another white person’s house from another background, they may find the family culture surprising. Or, when roommates meet in res in college, etc etc. Compare the global worldview, or even simply diet, of a 3rd generation Ukrainian Canadian to a 3rd, 4th, or 5th generation Canadian whose ancestry comes from England, for example. Are we similar, sure…. but Korean-Americans probably don’t like to be called Chinese, and vice versa. ….just something to think about…or then again, maybe I’m just a crazy gui lo cracker…
I think you’re confusing culture/nationality and race. There is a marked difference between a Lithuanian and an Italian, as far as their culture goes, but essentially- they’re both white (assuming that they were born there and white, not naturalized immigrants). The names white, black, etc were assigned because of regional ancestry and a variety of general shared traits, not because anyone thought that all white people thought and acted the same way.
“…Germans, English, Dutch, French, (…) Norwegian, Danish…”
This is simply not true. I immediately recognize/identify with 80 percent being said on this site about white people (meaning obnoxious, politically correct, white middle class people) and I’m from Sweden. Remaining 20 percent are related to specific US conditions, like soccer/football or the unique American dating culture.
There is indeed a white ethnicity, and when it comes to those supposedly free minded ‘liberals’, (that is, well to do pro-’diversity’ establishment people, living in guaranteed racially cleansed neighborhoods) the overlap of ridiculous memes and habits between Stockholm and New York is absolutely stunning.
A white Dutchman and white New Yorker have immensely more in common than that New Yorker has with a black person in his own city, and will readily band together in the face of Blacks, Muslims or Latinos. (That is, until they realize it is a ‘racist’ thing to do, and will try to deny to themselves they are engaging in such shameful behavior.)
Really? all this based on what? A visit to New York? You have no clue. How about meeting some white new yorkers next time you visit? Either that, or continue talking like an idiot with his head up his ass.
agreed!!!
That’s why they’re called “asians”
but Korean-Americans probably don’t like to be called Chinese, and vice versa.
I say this all the time when talking about america if Hilary wins
I did move to Canada.
I threatened to move to Canada – and finally did 2 months after G.W.B. entered the whitehouse in 2001 – no way I was sticking around for the mess that I knew was yet to come. Finally got my Canadian citizenship last year. Farewell and sayonara USA – I haven’t missed it for one minute.
Enjoy it; it must be really “hot” there… I am having a blast in warm South Beach… I know it’s not as hot as Canada..
And we haven’t missed you.
Hooray mutual benefits!
Awesome! We moved to Europe.
I’m a New Zealander, and I moved to Europe a few years ago, am moving to Canada this month and ultimately would like to live in San Diego… so I guess this white guy is doing it in reverse.
haha, ok William… you’ll come back to NZ. we always do…
“There’s no Internet in Canada…”
That’s right, none…
I just discovered this site and as a white person, I have to say that it is incredibly offensive.
I am moving to Canada to be a writer.
Accoddring to this site white people like being offended. LOL LOL LOL!!!
You write about it, I’ll photograph it, together we’ll make a best selling book!
Are you kidding? I imagine your books will be quite “literal”, if not…. (And why is it necessary to move to Canada to be a writer?)
I got to be one of the first posters!
I’m sorry I didn’t read the post, though. That’s not as important. I just want the world to know I was one of the first posters!
i hate you
Stuff that Canadians Like:
????
I’m still not entirely convinced that Canada is not some mythical Shangri-La and that the North Pole is only an few hours hike past the Boundary Waters. Existence of actual Canadian people is debatable. I believe that the term “Canadian” is an honorary title bestowed upon only the finest of the endless stream of sketch comedians that come to NYC and Hollywood from the Chicago comedy scene.
Maybe there needs to be a new blog called “Stuff Canadians Like…eh”
YESS CANADA:)
Ha, good one.
Yes Nathan you truly have lost it. Whilst I admire your poetic rambling, it has only served to cloud your mind further from the painful truths of reality. Now, I didnt say that this was a bad thing did I.
As an educated and professional Englishman, I love Canada for many reasons, and if the visa office let me have my way, I’ll be there within 18 months. Canadians may be chilly for several months of the year, but they are not mythical, I’ve been there when its hot too!
Anyhow, you clearly have a flare, keep up the poetry, I like it, and sometimes its good to see what is otherwise clear through a self generated haze.
My best to you!
B
Aw, man. This blog is always so offensive to white people. I’m sick of it. That’s it, I’m moving to Canada!
There’s no Internet in Canada…
Right?
This is going back awhile but do you know that an ‘educated’ American actually asked me if we had the Y2K problem in Canada.
He was probably referring to the “buzz” around the issue.
LOL
there is deffinately internet in canada .. lol..
Along with the Internet, Al Gore invented Canada – or so I read on the Internet.
Green, that was the funniest comment yet.
… but the internet in Canada does not have spell check.
Yes, there is definitely internet in Canada … and dictionaries and spell checkers too!
D.E.F.I.N.I.T.E.L.Y.
Candada…
Oh… never mind… It must be true about the US educational system… is there an educational system?
mais c’est en francais la internet a Canada, at least in quebec…
Isn’t it illegal not to say everything in both english and french?
*Mais l’Internet est en Français au Canada*
Uh… please tell me no one actually thinks the Internet is different depending on where you go…
its only different if your in an authoritarian country- ever see a cuban or north korean website?
Not true, I live in the US and there are plenty of German and British websites that I “cannot access from (my) region”- I was surprised too.
And why would Europeans want to move anywhere else?
OK, there’s always New Zealand.
And New Zealanders, we move to Australia. Then back after like, two years, cuz we can’t stand by anything we do. haha
Like anyone wants to move there.
I love your use of 2 last names…very nice…
Europeans, especially from the north threaten to move to tropical/warm countries, usually Latin American, saying that life is easier there and that people have less worries. (completely denying the fact that this easy life is based on exploitation of the majority of the population of Latin American countries)
Right-wing Canadians threaten to move to the United States. Left-wing Canadians threaten to move to Europe or New Zealand.
I’m now here in New Zealand. I’ve been here since March. Couldn’t stand any more Saskatchewan winters. Don’t know how long I’ll be here, but at least long enough to forget how cold -40 degrees feels.
Canadian accountants move to Bermuda
Canadian oilmen move to Texas
Canadian teachers move to East LA
Canadian billionaires move to Florida prisons… (Conrad did, so can you!)
*Note Canadian teachers do not move to east LA, they move to Korea, Japan, or Hong Kong.
I would only move to BC, because that is where all the chinas and viet bitches live, and you know how I love that gook pussy.
please keep it to yourself ok
LoL how many comments, pbly because the site is dropped amongst the first ones in google.
I’m from Europe/Hungary. It took me 20 years to leave that shithole system now I live in Sweden, but it isn’t the best either.
Kinda pathetic that the people from the USA want to move to Europe without knowing anything about it or it’s history. Why would you ever move to this shitpile continent? The education suck, people suck, taxes suck.
Want to get a job? It’s usually not enough to speak english, you have to learn 1 more language like swedish, norvegian, german, french depending where u want to move, and why the fuck would you waste time to learn their fucking language?
They say Europe is open for the professionals, but a lot of people gets ripped off by agencies, companies and end up with nothing when they move to a foreign country.
We are not fucking pussies here in Europe, this is a hard world here. The education system 10 times harder than in the fucking usa and you will drop out, then you have to make your life on your own.
Reason why I found this forum because I pbly will move to Canada, with a fake ID then live there. I was reading the immigration site and laughing what the fuck man? Just too much legal shit for me, the education system can’t be compared etc. You know how much time did it take for me to do the paper work what I needed for Sweden?
About 1 day, and my employee arranged everything+opened a bank account for me too. Now I can legally work here for 15 years but atm I looking for new job and getting a hard time because in my profession I have to speak their language too.
Did you know that when you write more than a paragraph nobody reads it?
How could white Americans NOT know European history, when it’s the only history they learn in high school other than American history (and the 1 week spent on the rest of the world). Sure, Europeans think Europe is better, but you guys reeeaalllly aren’t that different from Americans when compared to all of the rest of the world. Western Civilization= you + us. Get over it. We are
thats so true in high school its like this
US history-1 year
world history -1 year-
* british history- 2 cycles
*french, germany -1 cycle
*italy -1 cycle
*rest of world – 1 week
*china-monday
*india- tuesday
*africa- wensday
* some more british – thursay and friday
* latin america- last 10 minutes of class
But how come that 65% of americans between 18 and 25 don’t know where GB is located?
^ true I lived in vancouver for 8 years.
go canucks
yea that is a comment for #11. and yes we all love gook pussy, if you’r white,black, but somehow mexicans just are not in that circle. HUMMMMM would go into details but will save that for another time.
This would be more appropriate under #11, “Asian Girls”. Also white people don’t say gook. Unless it’s a contraction of the words Good and Cooking maybe. We’re not allowed to be racist; we’re white.
