    sorry i upset so many of you. Im glad to here canada isnt all bad, however, my experience was...besides the actual PJ shows. Even at the Winnepeg show things were troubling. The venue was awesome and i liked the downtown atmosphere. During black i was taking advantage of a down moment to smoke a cigarette and out of nowhere a security guard grabs my brand new pj shirt by the collar and starts dragging me out of the crowd. My buddies grabbed me from the other side. When the dude realized he had more than me to deal with he let me go but continued to yell at me about smoking a cigarette. Meanwhile, Eds up on stage smoking the whole show. Its a fucking rock concert.

    Before the show we ate at restaurant connected to the venue where we paid 20 bucks a plate for the smallest portions of overcooked salmon id ever had. Then I went to a gas station and paid $11 for a pack of cigarettes. and get this, on our way home we mangaged to misplace all of our lighters so we stopped at some ma&pa gas station. I went in and asked if i could get a book of matches. You know what the lady said, "There six cents." No fuckin shit. I couldnt believe it. I gave her a US quarter and told her to keep it. God I love Canada!

    Well, fucktard, if you did any research at all or payed attention to ANY signs in Winnipeg, you'd realize there is an indoor smoking ban. Yes security can be a little out of hand sometimes at the MTS Centre, but that can be said for any venue.

    As for the cost of cigarettes. Two words, health care. Booze and cigarette taxes help pay for the free health care we receive. Have fun paying 3 bucks for a pack of smokes down south and then having nowhere to go when you get emphysema.

    If all of your complaints about Canada revolve around smoking, then you are a sad, pathetic waste of space. And this is coming from a smoker.


    Don't even get me started on my adventures getting into the states. My car has been thoroughly searched every time except once. We've had border guards call us long haired faggots. I have a friend with the last name Housain who doesn't even bother trying to go to the states because of the bullshit at the border. So as for comparing the borders, give me Canadian border guards any day. Maybe you got searched because the smell the stench of douchebaggery coming from your car.
    Hello, I love you. Won't you tell me your name?

    thats another thing, canadians seem to not give a shit about freedom. Everyone seemed so apathetic to the infrindgement of their personal freedoms in Canada. Im proud to be an American and lucky.

  • Don't trust Canadians myself. Think they may be on the dark side actually.

    canada healthcare program is something to be proud of? Did you know more canadian citizens die from unhygenic hospital practice in canada than from AIDS and smoking combined. What are all those taxes you pay really going to? Cuz if it really is healthcare than id be pretty worried.

  • This post started out pretty positively with how much people enjoyed the Canadian tour and it's slowly turning into a bitch-fest. Can we tone it down a bit? All things considering, I think we're all pretty lucky to live in the countries we do. There's positives and negatives to everything, and I think the positives far outweigh the negatives in this case.

    people i never started this thread to have it turn into a Canada vs. USA war...give it up
    Who cares if the world is going down the toilet? Eddie Vedder got his mojo back!

    Since when is following the law being apathetic and not caring about our freedom? There is a reason the law is in place... because not everyone wants to inhale cig smoke. By smoking inside you're making people choose to either leave or put up with it, and that shouldn't be the case, hence the law. I agree that banning ALL smoking indoors is stupid, and more can be done in that respect. The security guards freak every time they see smoke of any kind, which really pisses me and anyone who's ever been to the MTS centre off.
    That 6 cents thing was retarded, don't base your opinion of Canadians on those people. 99 times out of 100 the store clerk woulda gave it to you for free. And the overpriced thing. Well, supply and demand my friend. You payed for it didn't ya? And there is nothing wrong with our health-care system, other than long wait times, and we as Canadians are lucky to be able to live without the fear of getting injured so bad we can't afford to get fixed. So, in conclusion hahaha, CANADA ROCKS!! the Winnipeg show was amazing, please come back PJ!!!
    Peace to everyone in Canada, the US, and around the world! Can't we all just be friends?

    Another Canadian tour again down the road? Better believe it. :)
  • kitchener and london will always be special to me.

    i'd drive north again, no problem.

    i met my girlfriend there, well 2 of them ;)
    got further with one than the other.
    but more close with the better one. :)
    Just, not enough.
    I need more.
    Nothing seems to satisfy.
    I said, I dont want it.
    I just need it.
    To breathe, to feel, to know Im alive.
