I reacll some time ago a report here in NZ of a Canadian criminal
mastermind who was arrested standing on the sidewalk in some city, with a
brick in one hand, a baby racoon ( Other small furry animal youngster ?) in
the other, and several hundred dollars in cash in pocket. Apparently, story
was he told passersby that he would used said brick on said animal if said
pedestrian did not pay $50.
Okay, funny enough, even possibly true given soft-heartedness and nicesness
of the Canadians. But, and this is my doubt; Later story claims when news
broadcast was made about this criminal, a bank manager came forward and
confessed that he had given this same guy around $100 000 in cash because
the fellow had walked into the managers office witha goose, demanding to be
paid or else he would strangle the bird; Manager was distraught about
possible death of the bird, and trying to cover the loss of money for
several days!
Are these tales real? If so, just what is it about Canada?
I heard one had a little trouble...The damned thing wouldn't die.

Canadian pennies are for athiests. They don't have 'In God We Trust" on them.

Oh come on, does every single piece of news have to be a chance to be sterotyping races....
Does that mean if I see on the news an American beating up a little kid, I can conclude that all Americans are basterds who abuse little children?
anyways, what a mean beggar. He can starve to death for all i care. -_- Or he can always eat the animal...but dont' torment the poor thing, either kill it quickly or let it go.

ummm, didn't know Canadian was a race.
As a Canadian I felt a fleeting desire to say something funny earlier, but then thought it was too funny just watching. Until I realised that there was a neat to defend Canadian intelligence in light of the last post.
races? jeez

Yushi, one certainly should not make such assumptions.
Just as one should not judge that all the writers here are arrogant and convinced of their own absolute infallibilty just because they are American.
Well, if we're going to start stereotyping, I would just like to point out that Floridians like to handcuff all elementary school chidlren. They are much easier to abduct, or run over them with a school bus.
In Democratic California, we think nothing of a fetus sandwich for lunch.

Don't know if those stories are true or not--thanks for sharing them with us! It's the same modus operandi as Save Bernd and Save Toby, only in real life rather than the Internet. Hmmmm...

Citizen, I thought everyone ate lettuce & drank bottled water?? On the way to lunch, shouldn't you shoot someone on the freeway?
