Patriotism Online

patriotism is something bottled up inside many of us Canadians without a means of release. We have events like the Canada Day Celebration in which we burst out in song and dance celebrating who we are. Unlike our American neighbors, however, we do not commonly hang the Maple Leaf from our rooftops and our Prime Minister does not go around viciously attacking other countries in the name of Democracy.

      Now with the internet anyone can be a patriot in a virtual little world of their own. People organize themselves and promote Canada online in order to help things like unity and our own quirky Canadian Way. The internet gives Canadians the chance to be as outlandishly patriotic as we want to be.


Information Based Sites

New Canadian Organization (NCO)
This organization has a simple objective: "to not support any of the big box American chain companies doing business in Canada." They have put up an essay which outlines why Canadians should support Canadian business because there is no reason to support the American economy. American businesses are killing smaller Canadian owned and operated ones. They give a listing of a few American companies we should stop supporting.

Proud To Be Canadian Campaign Headquarters
Dave and Roy Clark have put this site together which has several purposes: "The first is to indicate to the world all the web sites on the internet that are Canadian. The second purpose is to help educate Canadians on the history of the Country and issues relevant to her citizens. I also endorse National Unity and Loyalty to our wonderful Country." Their site will be bilingual as soon as someone will donate time to translate it into French for them. Mostly the site is full of links to things of importance to Canadians like our history and stuff.

Canada Rocks the World
"There is tons to learn, look at, laugh at, and do here! It's like Disneyworld, you can't see everything in one visit. (Unlike Disneyworld, it is 100% CANADIAN and you are not going to wait in line for 2hrs to ride Space Mountain.)" Home to the Cool Canadian Award, Trivia, and other fun stuff it's available in English and French.

Cool To Be Canadian Web Site
"Cool to be Canadian is a private, federally chartered non-profit organization devoted to encouraging Canadians - particularily young ones - to volunteer, participate, invent, create and generally have fun celebrating our diversity as Canadians."

Canadian World Domination!
"the General Headquarters of the Campaign for Canadian World Domination. Your future tyrants are General Claire and General Jenny. The Generals are Canadians who are taking over the world and re-designing it to suit their aims. We will accomplish this goal by:

  • The systematic destruction and sublimation of all opposing the Canadian reign -- and the polite, yet horrifically brutal, control of our future territories of conquest.
  • Infiltrating the USA and through a cleverly designed plan, destroying it, and using its resources for our own purposes.
  • Demonstrating to the world that Canada is the final and ultimate power.
  • Decontaminating the world of American influence.
  • Reorganizing a New World Society of Canucks to suit our kindly, peace-loving, and diabolical aims."
