And, the problem is...?

Some right-wing nerd from the States wrote an article claiming that Canadians are too liberal and hedonistic. Oh, and he rather hilariously called us "cultural Marxists".

Sorry, bucko, but last time I checked us immoral Canadians were doing pretty well for ourselves, despite our sinful ways.

Forgive me, but how are these two traits negative? It may be an adolescent cliché, but this guy needs to get laid. Sure, hedonism can get out of control, but it is delicious in doses.


While we are more liberal, the hedonistic comment does confuse me. Obviously, we don't have the same American Puritanism Problem, but we're not exactly a nation spun out on coke, gang-banging on every corner. I think in general we are more adult when it comes to sex and do have a different cultural climate that may be considered more "refined", but I for one haven't been to a rave in ages so hedonism seems to be the wrong word. Perhaps he meant that we are too mature, open-minded and psychologically healthy? If hedonistic means treating gays and lesbians equally, allowing women to control their bodies and futures, and trusting that adults are grown up enough to have an orgy if they so desire, then I fully concur.

What a boring, bitter little life this man must lead...

Using the terms, "hedonistic" and "cultural Marxists" to describe Canadian's proves what a true nerd this guy is.

I think you nailed it when you said, "Perhaps he meant that we are too mature, open-minded and psychologically healthy."

Also, I think you may be right about him leading a boring, bitter little life. In fact, I'd put money on it.

People such as this nerd should have their hands sawed off; thus they would no longer have the capability to write.

You're probably right about us being too easy on this turd, quiq.
