Jokes - Canadian jokes about Americans, American about Canadians

[fellaamazing 72]

I think we all are very used to hear jokes both sides about other countries.. Let's share them here.

This is what Canadians make fun of Americans:

"So you are from Canada, do you know so and so person, he lives in Saskatoon?"

This is how Americans make fun of Canadians:

"How do you remove 100 Canadians from a pool?"

"Ask them"

I have two Canadian jokes:

Re: Americans: Why is American beer like having sex in a canoe? because it's ****ing close to water (This is an old joke. American beer is stronger than it used to be!)

Re: Canadians: Maclean's did a contest to come up with a tagline like "As American as Apple Pie." The winner was, "As Canadian as possible under the circumstances."

My SO's favourite joke right now is that our baby is "Canadian bakin' (bacon)" in my stomach. I roll my eyes at that one and give a polite smile he is so proud.

I hear this joke all the time, " how are Canadians different from canoes? Canoes tip." So my Canadian friends , please tip when visiting the U.S. I know I always do.

Oh.. I had no idea Canadians don't tip. Actually tipping standard for Canada is 10%. The US is 20%. The reason is Canadian restaurants pay regular minimum wage to waiters, Americans never changed minimum wage for restaurant workers for last 30 to 40 years, which is about $2.75/hour.

I've never heard that about Canadians! some people are poor tippers, of course.

I have heard it about Europeans and about Australians (both places where tipping is less common given that service staff get better wages/benefits than in North America, generally).

In Vancouver, 20% is pretty standard. My grandmother might have been a 10% tipper but my parents and I wouldn't think of it except for crummy service.

Actually - in ON at least - servers do not make regular minimum wage, there is a waitress minimum wage as well - it's less but still a decent hourly rate

Biggest Canadian joke on America:

For sure? has anyone really seen his birth certificate?

[fellaamazing 72]

His parents are from Cuba, then probably they first immigrated to Canada where he was born, then US.

So not really Canadian for several generations.
