The Super Dooper Canadian Thread (now with 47% more Canadian Bacon)
Most polar bears have the good sense to hide.
I've lived in Saskatchewan. Polar bears know to hide from the insanity that are the people there when infused with "Rider Pride." It's scary.
Ya that seems about right.
when Toronto won last year it went pretty much unnoticed. Saskatchewan though... The Riders are all they have. and I don't mean they are the only sports team they have. I mean its ALL they have. they're batshit crazy for the Rough Riders out there.
Perhaps. I've LIVED in Saskatchewan for two years, and well... I've never lived in Green Bay.
Here's an example. Do any of the following exist for Green Bay:
- Team/Player-branded cereal
- Car products - I had Rider-branded windshield washer fluid in my trunk until recently, but I also saw motor oil. Yes motor oil.
- Other foodstuffs of any kind - chips, dip, snack bars, etc.
- Do towns compete for the right to be re-named after the team temporarily? No I'm not kidding
- Former team member as a politician, wins by a landslide. No other notable skills for politics.
- Any other notable insanity?
I saw a picture yesterday of four people (three guys, one gal) dressed up as Green Bay Lanterns.
I am sorry I can't find it now to include.

Other than that, I've seen all of that in Buffalo (though I think the naming is a bit unfair because part of the team name is a pun on the city). You guys might have football players go local, but our quarterback was the republican vice presidential candidate in '96.
My point being that while we in Buffalo love the Bills, I don't think we're close to the insanity of Green Bay.
And in addition, it's worth noting that the branded run of them (which was north of 10k, but can't remember exactly how many) ran out in a day or two, so they had to make more. This is in a province of only ~1M people. In a DAY.
So it's like SEC Football, but with a pro team, then?

Eat shit Calgary, Whyte Ave is better than Red Mile.
Though, then I finished the list and it lost all credibility by listing Ragged Ass Road in Yellowknife.
Yellowknife is a desolate shithole in the NWT, there's nothing best about it. I'm saying this as someone who was born there.

Suck a dick Edmonton, Halifax's Argyle Street is better than Whyte Ave.
I've never been, so I don't care, also, there's no interprovincial rivalry between those two cities.
I do love Whyte... I live just off it, and people are always surprised I enjoy it as opposed to hating its busy-ness. It's got life! And drunks.
They're everywhere and they're really, really annoying.
I don't much care for the guy, but oh I hate the ads...
I just want to run fake political ads, and see if anyone notices. "Justin Trudeau has great hair. Do most Canadians have great hair? By definition, they cannot, or it would be average. If Trudeau cannot relate to the average Canadian, how can he be expected to lead them? I'm Thomas Mulcair's Beard, and I support this message."
