Seriously though, I basically think of what Janszoon said when I think Norway, not to mention all the forests and open spaces.

.. Before looking it up on Google or Wikipedia of course.

Yes, I can. I'm from europe myself so I'd be ashamed if I couldn't.
Fjords. Snow. Wooden houses... Loads of pinetrees.

I'd like to ask the Americans on the forum if they really hate Canada as much as the media makes out you do?

The media makes it out like we hate Canada? Seriously? Which media? Every American I know loves Canada.

No offense taken my friend, it's close to impossible to offend an old (internet)trollslayer like me

Well, I'm walking around with holes in my shoes, "they're still good" and all that :P
Seriously though, I've never heard about Poles being cheap. Dirty, smelly, dumb, they're thieves (ask a German :P) - I think I could come up with more - these I heard and they are, sadly, to some extent true (like many stereotypes). But cheap ? There's an old Polish saying "zastaw się, a postaw się" which loosly translated means there may be no money to live on but there will always be enough money to dazzle your guests. And as far as I can tell, it's true.

As for Norway - apart from many of my friends working there and making amazing money, there's the Fjords (one day I will go diving there, to see the sunk U-boats), Vikings, amazingly high prices (regular bread is like 10x more expensive than here ....) and an amazingly high standard of living. Norway is often referred to here as "the Japan of europe", though quite frankly I hope you guys aren't as perverted :P
Yac.

I'm not sure how I managed to miss the H in South Park.
Eitherway, I guess that's probably the reason Randy thinks you guys hate canada. I suppose you know who Randy Marsh is?
