19 Reasons Why Canadians Have Trust Issues

    It really starts in early childhood (Concerned Children's Advertisers, I'm looking at you).

    1. When it was the winter of '94, dead of February, a snowstorm settles, you didn't get a snow day you prayed for the night before, you walk into class, you've taken off your snowsuit layers... and that's when they decide to call a fire drill.

    2. When your young eyes dazzled at the prospect of a North American House Hippo on your TV set, only to be told they don't actually exist.

    3. And that'd you be severed at the hip because more bad stuff.

    4. When KD boxes continue to tell you to press their tab to open the box, but there is no scoring inside.

    Broken fingernails and hopes are only some of the side effects.

    Every time I have to open a KD box i feel like God is testing me

    5. When "1-out-of-every-6," they said. Next time, they said.

    6. Someone has even documented the dissaray of disappointment littered across Canada.

    7. When you have your sights and hearts set on an Iced Capp, but you're told the machine is broken.

    8. Or, arguably more emotionally-tolling: When your anticipated iced capp comes out like goop and you can't even finish it.

    9. When Target finally came to Canada! 😀 ....and when Target then quickly left Canada. 😔

    100 - 0 real quick.

    10. And now Zellers — our own — has almost dwindled down to non-existence.

    11. When you look forward to watching the clip everyone has been talking about and — oh, do you live in Canada? Sorry.

    12. Sorry.

    13. Sorry.

    14. When you're loading your cart with Cyber Monday deals and — I forgot you lived in Canada! So sorry.

    15. But hey! Shop in-stores. We've got hot fiery sales too!

    16. When the weather dash every morning tells you one climate, but you experience all of them in a single day.

    17. And you wish it'd just start getting real.

    18. But come April, when the first bud sprouts from a drudge of snow, and the mercury thermometre crawls up a drop, and the promise of spring is crisp in the air...

    19. JK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
