Canada Night
Submitted by The Newcomer on 07.3.09 at 8:43am.
If there is anything more annoying than immigrants who constantly complain about the weather/lack of jobs/high prices/general unfriendliness of their chosen country, it is those insanely cheerful immigrants who wave maple-leaf flags and sing O Canada on Canada Day.
