Canada portrayed negatively in games?

[DM_Matt]

It was the Daily Show. Who knew that Liberia and Burma were so enlightened?

FYI the US officially recognizes the country as "Burma" as a sign of support for the democratic opposition. Only supporters of the military dictatorship (plus the uninformed media) call it "Myanmar."

Liberia was founded as a result of a movement among American blacks that advocated going back to Africa. It is in a number of formal ways especially like America (its constitution especially) because it was founded by American expats.

I live in New Hampshire. A friend was traveling in Texas once and encountered an unusual opinion of New England. Apparently (according to a Texan), everything north of Boston is frozen tundra...

I grew up in northern Maine along the Candian border - the Texan isn't that far off.

As for the earlier Steriotype about Canada just being Mooses and Mounties, I've seen far more moose here in New Hampshire than I ever saw in Canada. And while I've seen lots of Canada law enforcement officials none were every wearing a Dudly Doright outfit.

Heck, even other parts of the world can be represented like that, after all, M*A*S*H taught us that Korea looks just like rural Northern California

Actually, since I lived there for awhile its does a bit.

And come on guys, I come from Arkansas. I get tired of the "Did you marry your cousin?" jokes.

I contend that there are no moose in NH. I've lived here for 38 years and I've never seen one. My wife tells me that I am mistaken, but I think she is just part of the Moose Conspiracy...

No RPG will truly depict Canada properly until materials are written in both English and French.....

I took a vacation to the Yukon once, and I can tell you that there are moose enough for anyone there. Twice I've been within a yard of a live adult cow moose in the wild....once was on that Yukon trip, once was at Algonquin Park in Ontario. The second moose came within 6 inches of me. The Yukon trip was the first and only time that I saw a Mounty dressed like a stereotypical Mounty. That was at the crossing to Alaska, on the way back into Canada. I think they made him wear that uniform for show.

Yeah, the outfit was making undercover operations too difficult.

She tells you that you have seen one? "Those weren't big dear, honey."

I doubt your contention having seen some in NH and knowing that a few years ago my dad who lives in NH crashed into one on his way to work and was lucky to be alive after the experience. Of course that one did not live so there might not be any there now.


But I doubt it.

She tells me they exist. I refute that assumption as I have never seen one...

Its actually illegal in Arkansas anyway (by Arkansas Code Ann. 9-11-106: Incestuous marriages), but not in California, Massachusetts, New York, and Canada, all paragons for what passes for civilization in this hemisphere. I know someone who went to Massachusetts so he could marry his first cousin because it was illegal here in Oklahoma.
