Ugly Canadians

Think the whole world loves Canadians, eh? Think again. I found this Korean Herald article at the Crazy Rants of Samantha Burns and I just could not resist the temptation to post it myself.
An organization that promotes cultural understanding and brings together people from different nations is open for anyone in Seoul to join. Anyone that is, except Canadians.

In a classified ad in KScene, a free biweekly magazine, World Class describes itself as a group that "brings together all nationalities to discuss world issues and break down cultural barriers and prejudices." Breaking down the prejudices, however, doesn't extend to all countries. "No Canadians please," the ad continues.

When contacted by a Korea Herald reporter by e-mail, the organizer of the group, Bernard Carleton, elaborated further, "The thing is, CANADIANS ARE SCUM! They are self-loving, welfare supporting, over taxing, work ethic hating scum!!! They are not welcome in our group."

Ah, the benefits of a liberal education, but really, isn't this just the natural consequence of letting Canadian liberals travel aboard?
