I believe you've misspelled polite. I know that's kind of something we don't teach anymore in this country. Well, neither actually... Spelling or manners.
I dunno what to tell you. British soldiers under British command were sent in, from Britain or wherever they were posted, to fight the war. They weren’t Canadian British or Canadian loyalists and they didn’t live in Canada besides the small amount of militia attached to the army that I mentioned.
You can say that Canadians were British at the time but you can’t really say that the British were Canadians. It’s not a technical thing or hair splitting, it’s just the way it is
You know how I know that you don't know many Canadians?
For military prowess, they've been everywhere the US has since the 1840s, except for the Indian Wars. Like, half the Geneva conventions is about telling Canadians to chill. The way non-commissioned officers work now is a Canadian invention from WW1, because the Brits and Americans failed to take a hill, and the Canadians wanted to have a go using a more complex plan.
For social reasons, they aren't pansies, they're just patient. Avoiding a fight doesn't make someone a pussy. I wouldn't suggest cornering one to see how much they'll take. When they snap, they tend to act like they do in war. And again, they lead the world in war crimes by a large margin.
If you think a Canadians are pussies, you're either woefully misinformed or a total idiot. The Geneva convention rules are pretty much, 'Here's shit Canada did that we don't want them to do again'
My favorite part is his sentence "I was unaware of who that you were the author," because clearly he first wrote "I was unaware of who you are" and then backspaced because he wanted to be polite 😅 Man I love Canadians.
I started writing a novel as part of a very expansive inside joke. I stopped a few chapters in because of the re-reading (and I had the general idea down, but I'm a terrible author, and it was crap).
After reading this post I count the number of times I've read the name Schembechler as two. And I think that's one more time than the times I've seen someone apologizing after an interaction like this one.
lol same, I thought they were just so shaken they massively bungled some variation of "I'm a big fan of yours." The other interpretation makes infinitely more sense.
Uh….this seems like it both fits and doesn’t fit with the sub.
It's the canadian version of this sub. "Sorry, I didn't realize who I was talking to."
We should all be a bit more Canadian.
I wanna be Ricky from Trailer Park Boys.
Who’s got your belly?
Smokes, let's go!
Total pussies?

You should look up their war crimes.
Going full completionist on the Geneva checklist, you mean.
I am just waiting for the UK to finish invading countries. 22 to go.

You know that Canadians invaded America and burned the white house right?
lol no they didn’t, the British army did
No. Canada was British at that time so you can claim that there were no Canadians there but there weren't really any Canadians anywhere at that point.
Right but most of the British army was shipped in by sea. There might have been some Canadian militia with them but that’s about it.
The Canadian Militia were all technically British, so what is your point?
The links between Britain and Canada are pretty strong (except for those Québécois).

Should look into the acts of heroism done by Canadian soldiers during WW2. But sure.

It’s baffling that multiple people have replied to me here bragging about war crimes
Nevermind. Forget I said anything. Candians are pussies, and you should totally bully them.
Alright don’t get embarrassed, I just don’t see how war crimes are an argument against that
I know a lady named Geneva that would disagree

War crimes aren’t badass, wtf is wrong with you people
OP has very little contend despite the account’s age. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a bot. This sub (not very active) is likely on bots’ radars.
Wouldn’t that be an argument against it being a bot?
Bots generally have a lot of content on a young account
Classy response from fakeeye.

He wrote the book, but did he read it?
well yes, he wrote “Yes I did read that book” in the screenshot provided
I've never written a book. But I believe writing one means you'll be doing a lot of re-reading what you wrote.
I've heard of authors that didn't read the published copy because they would keep on wanting to improve it.
Kinda like those actors that never watched the movies they are in

If only all the internet was like this. The vibe of a gentleman’s lounge puffing on tobacco pipes.

I mean, I couldn't tell you the author of every book I've read
I'm sure he will never make that mistake again, totally.

"A fan of yours let me know" - WTF does that even mean?
It means OOP was informed by a fan of the author about who he was.
thank you, because i also somehow didn’t understand that sentence.
