Do you think that That 70's show makes fun of canada too much? I'm Canadian, and I'm not that offended because I love the Canadian Road Trip episode. But Candians hardly say the word EH, and Red sounds so stupid when he's talking about how great the U.S.A is and how bad Canada is, because there's alot in common between both countries, so what do you guys have to see about that?

Yeah, I don't mind the way That 70s show likes to make fun of Canada. I'm from Canada and I find it rather humorous. Especially in the 70s Pilot when Eric's like "We could go to Canada. We have a new battery, what's stopping us?" And then Donna says something like, "You know, I think Canada closes at nine." Haha, I love that line. And yeah, they exaggurate the word "eh" I only say it sometimes when i'm making a statement like, "i know, eh?" or a question. but I don't use it like, "What are you doing here EHHHHHH?" Like the way they use it in Canadian Road Trip.

I like the one where Kitty is talking to someone and shes like " Oh honey, Canadians dont matter." or something like that. But I dont think they really take it too far, if they ever took it too far it might of been when they made fun of France.

No I think they put it in the show as a running joke because it always seems like Americans in general make fun of Canada a lot.

Americans making fun of Canadians is something I never really got, what's the big deal? And what is the difference between an American and a Canadian? Sorry to get off topic but that's been bugging me for a while.

I dont think there really is much of a difference, I live in Michigan so i've been to Canada a lot and have family that live there and I dont see much difference.

It's because some Americans who haven't been to Canada(in that 70s show, they only go to Canada once in the whole series) make stupid jokes like we live in igloos and we're weak. The only good things they say about canada are in "Canadian Road Trip". They say we have great beer(true), and they say we have better looking woman(also true, ask anyone who's been to Canada, including me.)
The United States have great things too, they have more money, which equals more entertainment and maybe more fun, I know cause I, a Canadian, have been to the U.S.A, its pretty cool, but so is Canada.
If you don't know alot about Canada, go to youtube.com and research I am Canadian, it proves the daily Canadian, and the opposite of what some Americans think.
Point is, both countries are awsome! But Americans make fun of Canada too much.

It's like Australia and New zealand. Australians make fun of New Zealanders and New Zealanders are overcompetitive about Australia.

They never said the Woman are better looking. What they said is that a result of the beer the woman will be better looking.

Just too clear something up Canada doesnt have better looking women over the United States. I think Canadians are over sensitive to Americans making fun of them because most Americans go through their whole lives without thinking about ANY other countrys much less Canada. Its kinda sad but Americans are self absorbed (not all ofcourse). Really Canada's a beautiful country, Ive only been to Vancouver, But its not really anything close to the USA. Maybe i see the difference between Canucks and Americans cause I live in Southern California (Which seems to be the center of the world to everyone around here).

Okay. In all honesty Canada DOES NOT have better looking women. I've seen pretty girls in Canada and America. Americans and Canadians are practically the same. We look the same. We speak the same. Done.

I've never met a Canadian woman.
That being said; American women are hotter.
