Yes, Canada made it's way into the U.S. Electoral debates recently as this article in CTV.ca shows.
But Canadian/American issues really came to a head in my dear friend Olga's hometown of Chico California. Yes it was far more serious and frightening than any political debate. To be honest, I often think these kinds of issues are caused by a lack of understanding, or communication.
If only we could get along. Check out this video to see what I mean.
Luckily the Canadian is being held in a rehabilitation centre, they think her youngins were nearby and she was just being protective...which is why she lashed out at the Americans. But it was scary, witnesses said that the Canadian, "maintained a defiant look on its face throughout the incident." We can be a stubborn bunch, that's for sure.
I just pity the person who has to clean out the back of the police cruiser. As you can see, the Officer peeking into the back of the car doesn't look too impressed.

37 Astute Observations:
And to think....I came THIS CLOSE to having this goose attack ME!
Well, not really....but it COULDA happened! LOL!
Great job on this post Drowsey!
lol Olga...thanks for sending me the video link, that's funny stuff! I hope the goose is okay...you know I'm partial to Canadians trying to make it in sunny California. ;)
Well, we have a lost goose roaming around in our neighborhood too...what shall I do? Feed it? Give it coffee? What?!?!
If it's a Canadian goose, it would probably appreciate a Tim Bit, but I don't think you have those there, LOL. Don't feed it! You feed Canadians and they'll never leave.
Really? HAHA!
Well my cockatiel is looking for a mate (AGAIN!!!)...maybe I'll see if they wanna hook up! At the very least it could put an end to her endless squaking! (just kidding....)
lol...poor birdy. My boy bird is having a torrid romance with his toy, and completely ignoring the girl bird in the cage with him...as you know since I've blogged about it enough. LOL
Well then, maybe I'll FedEd "Roger" to you!...A Canadian goose for a California cockatiel - seems like a fair trade to me!
I think a cockatiel would scare my budgies! Betty is working on him right now...giving kisses. Any minute now he's gonna leave her for the toy...leaving her all worked up. Poor girl! Make no wonder she gets all noisy some times! Screach!
Rodger can live with Joan and Jett! They starred at Santa's blog last December.
What was this post about?? .... ohh yes, Gooses :)
Those crazy animals take over in Minnesota. They come to my house in the spring and have thousands of baby yellow furry chickens. In the fall, they poop al over the golf court, and my shoes become Suppapoop Canadians. Do not come home with them on ... that's a lesson I learned.
One time I hit a drive right into one. I heard "Thud ..... Ohhhh". The goose was ok, but my drive was 20 yards short. I penalized him 2 bills.
BTW: I will have Spike stories and skeletons fall out of my closet tomorrow.
I just wanted to have another comment here with You and Olga ....
Yes, those geese sure do poop alot, but that's not representative of all Canadians ;)
Looking forward to the closet meme...should be a few golf balls in there I'm sure.
Yes, it's a party here speedy! Too bad Robert's in Montreal. I just dropped by his place and he's posting from La Belle Province ... but he appears to be deep into a bottle of Jack Daniels, LOL
sweet deal for us Canadians!!!....bring on da goose!!
haven't watched your video BUT there is a spot on LI that is overridden with those damn pooping birds. BLECH. But we just shoooo them away!
This is an outrage - we MUST secure our borders!
In truth, I love Canada geese. They're spectacular creatures and they look completely "at home" here in the Midwest (because this is their home!)
However, if you-all need someone to help repatriate some of your wayward um, "citizens" I'd be happy to help.
Me and my kayak can be all packed up in a couple hours! ;)
I was going to make a hilarious comment about 'peeking duck', until I realised that it was a goose in the picture.
CURSES!
Please try and post a picture of a man peeking at a duck in the future, if you'd be so kind.
Geese are freaking mean. And those Canadian Geese are even worse cause Canadians are mad all the time. What with your healthcare and gun control, angry Cannucks are running amuck!
I want you to control your geese Drowsey. Get them under control now. As the only Canadian I know, I blame you.
That's too funny!!! LOL. Behind bars in the cop car!
Dam Canadian tourists causing a ruckus...:)))..Hey Speedy watch out that you don't get any Goose poop on your golf ball...:)))
Hey look! There's Crusty!
Are ya home, or crusin' around on your new fandangled laptop?!
Hee Hee, this was funny - but I am upset! Where are her babies? She was just protecting them! They need their mama! We have a ton of these geese living near me and most of them are pretty sweet :)
What is it called when one has a fear of geese? *cough*
Not that I do of course but.... well... you know.
And is that goose poo on the seat there?
Ick. : P
lol @ the mess in the back seat!
Canada geese in the UK are much more laid back.
I demand that we practice rendition on that goose. Fly her off to a secret location and torture her until she reveals the expensive hotel where George Bush has hidden Osama. We'll waterboard her! But the water will just flow right off her back. Ok, we'll put a hood on her! Strip her naked! Humiliate her! Make her do a pyramid with the chickens and other fowl we have in the jail. But who can have sex with her? Oh, this is all so complicated.
darlene - lol agree! :)
lauren - yes, but as Oprah says, everybody poops ;)
dave - I appreciate your help...yes the borders...they need to be secured! lol
lord likely - yes, I will try to form my posts around your witty banter...that would be so much better....ahahahaha ;)
michael - lmao...yes, I'll do my best. You're right, it's probably the lack of guns that makes them crazy.
chris - yes, I love that picture...and the female cop looks none too pleased at the messy seat! LOL
roubert - (I said your name in French there...it was a typo, but it works since you're in Montreal at the moment) ... yes Canadian tourists should be more thoughtful when travelling abroad. (That means travelling out of the country, not with a broad) ;)
olga - I was at robert's last night, he was in Montreal on the laptop in a bottle...it was very intereesting, LOL.
barbara - you and I think alike, apparently the entire family is safe from last I read. :)
Mrs - oh yes, as a Canadian I'm an expert in Goose poop...and that is in fact what that is on the seat. :)
val - it must be the bangers and mash, lol.
omyword - lol, yes...I'm sure waterboarding wouldn't be a successful tool with this duckie!
dawn - I missed ya...lol. Yes, the back seat & the look on the cops face cracks me up! lol
It kind of looks like a 3rd foot under that goose, so of course I HAD to enlarge it for a better look.
It's not a foot.
What is it then?
POOP!
It must have been nesting nearby...that's the only time I've ever seen them do that...usually nest protection.
There was a broken wrist and a leg accredited to one goose where I used to work. They roamed the plant area as the willed.
They can be kinda bossy, they roam all over the place where I am. I'm near the lake...so they're always around. Usually pretty calm, but as with most us Canadians, we can be pushy at times! LOL
Hmm.. suddenly I'm hungry for Duck L'Orange.
mike...lol no!
Ha! I laughed out loud the first time I landed in Winnipeg and one of the big ads on the wall of the airport was for a goose-control service.
lol...oh yes, controlling these fellas is serious stuff here. A lot of parks and airports have dogs hearding them around, usually boarder collies, it keeps the geese moving and keeps the poop from piling up ... which can get overwhelming at times! lol
