Canada - one of the worst polluters

    Since we (U.S. Americans) are constantly bombarded with how terrible the U.S. is compared to countries like Canada, I figured I would throw some mud back over the fence.

    "Our research found Canada's environmental performance to be surprisingly low," said Gunton. "Canada lags behind in almost every performance indicator."

    A little bit of info for those who hate us because we are such bad polluters.

    Isn't Canada ranked the #1 country in the world to live in still? I remember being brainwashed in school about this.

    I really dont understand how the hell we polute so much. Canada is so much cleaner overall because its a huge farm and long long fields that never end.

    I heard Canadians throw their feces at you. I was warned that anytime Americans get to close to a Canadian that the Canadian will throw his poo at you.

    Or maybe it was monkeys. Well either way you can never be too careful.

    I dont think people do that here. Although, I heard those people in Dallas have arranged marriages with cattle if not married by the age of 15. And there is a rumor that Hank Hill is running for governor. :p :p

    I just read this article and wanted to add that Canadians are not that up to current college football standards.

    http://today.reuters.com/news/newsa...T115207Z_01_ROB968307_RTRUKOC_0_US-HAZING.xml

    I'm glad I didn't go to college in Canada. ;)
