..and here they are.

This is a common misconception of Canada's stance on marijuana.

Pot is not legal here. It's just decriminalized. It basically mean that unless you're trafficking, you wont have a criminal record for it. But you could still be fined or serve time.

Decriminalized pot means it's "illegal" but they'll only bust you for it if they're already busting you for something else or if you did something that pissed them off but is not illegal.

I hate how smug Canadians get over shit like this. All the libs can escape there for all I care, since they don't appreciate American values anymore.

It's our thing. It amuses us to bring it up, even if we're well educated enough to know that there are more facets to it than we might present.

Like the belief that America won WWII.

Haha, seriously. Americans getting mad at Canada for jokingly mythologizing an incident in a war should, you know, have a look at their own history books. Fun Fact: Captain America never actually punched Hitler in the mouth.

I'm not a nationalist by any stretch of the imagination, but this is a pretty great place to live.

Then again, I'm thinking about spending some time in the socialist hellholes of Denmark or Sweden after I finish my degree, so my opinion may be rendered invalid.

I watched it all the way through and it's really an interesting progression of voter desires vs. political interference on our part. That being the US pressured Canada greatly to keep pot illegal.

Having lived in Canada for several months last year and yeah the video does make it seems better than it is. Not that there's anything wrong with Canada mind you, but some Americans seem to have idealized a few things about Canada, including pot and universal health care. (the health care thing is great but I heard some horror stories from Canadians about how long it can take to go through the system for non-essential care).

I've just been informed this douche is Canadian. I sort of assumed from the title. I came back to apologize and have a good cry.
