Stupid Canadians

More than likely anyone saying that really means that some of our country's policies are and I'm sure each Canadian could come up with at least one that irks them just as in any other country.
The most frequent complaint I've heard is about various levels of government and that we were stupid to let PARTY X have power.
Governments may be voted in by the people however there is no assurance that once elected they will keep their promises.

I work at an automotive shop attached to a gas station in Hawaii. We have very clear instructions for our international customer base as Hawaii is a great tourist destination. ONLY the visitors from Canada are the ones who can t figure out how to get gas into the cars. I have personally watched people from many different countries read the instructions and get gas. That being said, I have seen some Canadians have the smarts to read and then execute, but mostly they come in and say "I m from Canada. What is a zip code?" We tell them that our zip code is the same thing as the Canadian postal code. If they use the three numbers from the postal code and add two zeros it will make up the American zip code. Example 1P3LC9 postal code = 13900 zip code. This leads to them literally calling my cashiers everything from idiots, morons, "welcome to ******* America", as well as other not very nice things or they simply reply at every step above with "I don t know" Then they just start asking for the pumps to be turned on so they can put as much gas as they want before they pay. The gas stations here do not do that as it is dangerous for our cashiers to confront somebody if they are trying to gas and go. This is the same in certain parts of Canada as multiple gas station employees have been KILLED because they tried to stop another Canadian from leaving without paying.
That being said- although we deal with around 40 Canadians per day with this exact gas problem none of us believe they say these this with that bad of intentions. They are just confused nice people who are at a base not logical enough to follow the three step process (with pictures at every pump) to figure it out. This has been the situation since I have personally worked at this service station since 2007.

Oh, yeah... I live in Canada for 14 years, and I can say that almost all of them are stupid.. they do not want to think about anything else, except eating, sleeping and FOLLOW the rulls EVERYWHERE cuz they all scared of everything like police etc.! also, they are not reliable at all! I have a small business, 80% of customers calling to book an item to buy and then dissapear and do not answer the phone.

Canada shouldn't be a country. The people say eh... Canada has no army and quite frankly is a joke. Their policemen are called "mounties" and ride horses. If you need more reasons, watch How I Met Your Mother. Their money comes from a freaking board game. Bottom line is that Canada is lame and is an abomination to all educated people. Also, Ameeica is just there right next to them.... That is all.

@ asker - Your experience with some Canadians was positive (they were "nice" to you) - so you conclude that Canadians in general can't be stupid? Stupidity and politeness have nothing to do with each other.
People say Canadians are stupid because of the way they attack Americans and other nationalities, suffering from an inferiority complex, and make insults against others online like 12-year-olds...all while claiming Canadians are more tolerant and "nice". Plus, most (some, not all) Canadians are politically leftist - this means they support abortion, big government, gay "rights", bans on LEGAL gun ownership (as if criminals follow laws, leaving decent people defenseless), more free welfare cheques for single moms that end up having 5+ kids (while estranging the father(s) in divorce court), and perhaps most horrendous of all - teaching little kids about anal sex (wtf).
Many comments from Canadians online and in public are so ignorant and dense, it truly makes me wonder if this place literally has the "densest" people on the planet.

I am not aware of any person who says that Canadians are stupid. Therefore, I do not know why people (whoever they may be) would say that Canadians are stupid.

While not all Canadians are stupid, most in general are. They are ignorant, slow, dumb as bricks, lazy and extremely unreliable. I grew up in Canada and I know that Canada has one of the best living environment in the world. But all I hear is people whining about their stressful jobs, 'abusive' bosses and 'harsh' working conditions when all they had to work was 8 hours a day and 5 days a week (A part-time job on the weekend at most)! Absolutely pathetic!
