How much do YOU love America?

You should complain that Canada allowed him to get semi-famous in the first place. He was born in Canada. Justin Bieber is a

He may have been born here, but it was your tween girls who found his videos and replayed them more times than is healthy. It is your Scooter Braun who signed him. It is your population that pays him ridiculous amounts of money.

Course, if you want to talk about All American cultural-defilers, how about Nicki Minaj? Brittany Spears? Rebecca Black?
Mind you, your country is also to blame for the ridiculous atrocity of Scientology.

If the worst things to be born in Canada, but find their fame in America are Bieber, Celine Dion, and Jim Carry? I can live with that.

So full of righteous Canuck anger

You've got to look at the good-to-bad ratio, we've got a lot of shitty stars, but there's such a large number of American stars that it ultimately evens out.

Out of the three canadian stars out there, two are complete shit and one is ok. That's a bad ratio man, you should be ashamed.

'murica!

Heh, three?

I was just going for 3 bad ones.

Quick rundown:
3 Inches of Blood
54-40
Alexisonfire
Bachman-Turner Overdrive
Great Big Sea
I Mother Earth
Kataklysm
Metric
Rush
Skinny Puppy
Steppenwolf
Strapping Young Lad
The Tea Party
Tegan and Sara

Singers?
Gordon Lightfoot
Shania Twain (Regardless of how infuriatingly overplayed her songs are, she can damn well sing)
Michael Buble
Bryan Adams
Anne Murray
Feist
Niel Young

So, we have Celine Dion who, really? Just got sickeningly overplayed. Never really acted disgracefully.
Bieber....yeah, he's a shitstain. But again, a shitstain caused by Americans. If it wasn't for America's pop obsession? He would never have become as big as he is.
Jim Carry....ugh, he can be a good actor, or he can be horrible. Smart as a box of rocks either way.

So really, what was that ratio business again?

Steppenwolf is Canadian? Then it should have been 'Born to be Mild'

Sorry, try again.

"Bieber's first single, "One Time", was released to radio while Bieber was still recording his debut album.[30] The song reached number 12 on the Canadian Hot 100 during its first week of release in July 2009,[9] and later peaked at number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100. During fall 2009, it had success in international markets.[31] The song was certified Platinum in Canada and the US and Gold in Australia and New Zealand."

So let's see, Bieber was:

-Born in Canada
-Comes from Canada
-Recorded Youtube Videos in Canada, which helped him become semi-famous
-Got semi-famous in Canada
-Got famous/Platinum in Canada
-Decided to come to the US, using his Canadian passport. He could have stayed in Canada, which you guys always claim is such a wonderful country with HEALTHCARE FOR EVERYONE. Clearly this healthcare leaves a lot to be desired if you're not aborting Bieber types.

And yet you blame Americans for producing this monstrosity? Riiiiight. Americans are many things, but guilty of Belieberism is not one of them. That's all on you Canada.
Would you blame Jews for producing Hitler? Wait, don't answer that.

At this point, I'm starting too be disgusted by both Canada and my own country. Thanks guys. Just thanks.

You're the one who's going against the norm and trying to blame America for a Canadian, and it's your facts that seem shaky.

4/10 simply because you bastards need to stop coming out with reality TV shows, they're worse for my country than Rob Ford is for Toronto.

Dude, lmfao--i am patriotic af--and i agree with you on the reality show bit. I give my country a 7/10 because while i love it i can see improvements need to be made. We're not perfect, but no country is-.and i love mine anyway :)

yeah but smh @ canada trying to pin this on us. Just because of all the other terrible stars, and terrible things we do to you guys, doesn't mean you can shunt this one too.

plus you should be proud, canada. Bringing something shitty into the world just gives you a bit of an edge, makes you more relatable and flavorful...

yeah I laughed too.
