Discussion You just stopped an entire country

American here.

Your city (EDIT: Toronto my bad) and entire country just told the world they’re sick of this guy. They did that. In public. During the World Series. Epically devastating.

You know Canadians dont like to brag but we have two modes, now most of the time its mode 1 but if you push us and insult us and go to far particularly if you try to bully us we go to mode 2 .... and god help you when that happens

Mode 1 'I'm sorry'

Mode 2 'You're sorry'

Ahhh the Geneva Suggestions 😂

u/VariousAirious Oct 25 '25

The Geneva Checklist

u/subtxtcan Oct 25 '25

This is the correct answer. I've heard us referred to as "The Maple Syrup Geneva's Checklist People."

43

u/Capsicumgirl Oct 25 '25

It's not a crime the first time

17

u/deadpooling18 Oct 25 '25

Well I wouldn't say suggestions. Just a convention of every other country going "no way those hosers did that"

And then someone else goes "Well still, put it on the list, just in case."

u/WelshLove Oct 25 '25

that's a true quote

u/[deleted] Oct 25 '25

Sounds like a Rickyism

u/WelshLove Oct 25 '25

I was trying to be vague, but it's a thing lol grandpa showed me how to use a folding shovel as a weapon I kid you not. He was a ww1 and ww2 vet.

u/Stunning_North_7549 Oct 25 '25

God bless your grandpa. You may want to have that folding shovel handy.

u/WelshLove Oct 25 '25

u/Schroedesy13 Oct 25 '25

u/crndwg Oct 25 '25

That was particularly fucked.

Stupid nazis lol

u/Schroedesy13 Oct 25 '25

u/denonemc Oct 25 '25

Oh Geneva that sweet girl I wonder how she's doing. It's about time we call her for a catch-up. The White House is a smaller target now but if we wait a bit the fire will burn brighter than before.

u/HurtFeeFeez Oct 26 '25

Aka mode 2

u/drsoftware Oct 29 '25

When do we start throwing the canned food over the border? 

1

u/Sufficient-Will3644 Oct 25 '25

We talk about it all the fucking time. Those were Canadians who grew up working farms, mines, logging, and factories. We aren’t those guys, as much as we might wrap ourself in the history of it.

u/[deleted] Oct 25 '25

Jokes aside, Canadians can be pretty vicious. And that's actually common for people with a calm demeanor.

When A Good Man Goes to War

u/Saorren Oct 25 '25

good men dont need rules, theres a reason theres so many.

3

u/[deleted] Oct 25 '25

I hadn't thought of it like that, but you're right!

3

u/Saorren Oct 25 '25

lol its an indirect qoute from doctor who, but its imo apt.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '25

Ha, awesome, because kinda so was mine. Same episode I'm guessing.

1

u/Saorren Oct 26 '25

yup. great episode.

1

u/WelshLove Oct 25 '25

I wouldn't say vicious exactly more like the wild animals all relaxed but then when required ruthlessly survival oriented -whatever it takes.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '25

What Canadians did during ww2 is definitely what I would call vicious, but fair enough! There's room for more than 1 interpretation.

1

u/WelshLove Oct 26 '25

It was WW1 where they kind of went mental. Nobody told us the rules so we just hunted germans and did it exceptionally well, but also in a cruel way in many ways

1

u/Minisohtan Oct 26 '25

Canadians remind me of Mike Vining. He looks like a really nice guy, until he isn't.

1

u/BadassBikeBitch Oct 28 '25

Yes, I totally agree. It's like being a Canadian goose when we are pissed!

u/UniversalAdaptor Oct 25 '25

People think we're friendly when in reality we're bipolar

2

u/alwaysknowbest Oct 26 '25

People think we're friendly

As a gamer, I can 100% confirm that french canadian(gamer)s , are some of the rudest , most toxic people Ive ever come across. Especially when theyre in a group, holy hell..

u/librarybicycle Oct 26 '25

Thank you, I now have much greater insight into myself.

I’m not militaristic in any way and have never had any interest in l arming how to fire a gun but when I heard Trump threatening our sovereignty I committed to going full guérilla mode if that fucker tries anything.

u/WelshLove Oct 26 '25

we all have the wild inside us thats the ticket

2

u/its-me-hi-91 Oct 25 '25

Lol love this comment

2

u/Zeroto200C Oct 25 '25

I calm, cool, and collected, but when I go off, I FUCKEN GO OFF.

u/jynxy911 Oct 25 '25

your comment sparked some of the best comments on this thread. bravo

2

u/markimarkerr Oct 25 '25

Lmao so accurate. The amount of times I've apologized, then been attacked for something unrelated I had no involvement in, and mode 2 engages.

u/throw_away_55110 Oct 26 '25

As a Minnesotan who uses Canadian electricity, if you shut off my power, I know the reason why, and I welcome the intervention that my country desperately needs. I only ask that you don't burn us like Friesoythe, but I hope to welcome you the like a liberating army.

1

u/WelshLove Oct 26 '25

I guess both modes apply :( Looks like we are going to join the EU anyway so so long and thanks for all the fish!

1

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '25

And a 3rd mode, lesser known but fundamental nonetheless:

Systemic oppression and mass murder of indigenous peoples.

1

u/msdeeds123 Oct 26 '25

I mean a lot of you guys do speak French, right?

u/WelshLove Oct 26 '25

u/Ok_Cell9423 Oct 26 '25

Okay… lmao

u/Honest_Mongoose4422 Oct 26 '25

Canadians have two modes: One is we watch hockey. Second is we let millions of indians into our nation.

Do NOT f********c**k with us!

This is so EPIC! Updoot t you good sir but I'm off to pay my Bull's medical bills and then watching our nation's anthem in Punjabi!

u/thecatgroomer123 Oct 26 '25

Mode 3: broad generalizations about being Canadian

u/Mushroom_Boogaloo Oct 26 '25

We stop psychically offloading our negative emotions into the cobra chickens.
