Basically the oldest, most selective, richest Canadian universities - McGill University, University of Toronto and Queen's University.
There are others that get honourable mention, but these three are the top dogs, all within a few hours of each other, and all highly internationally ranked. All three have ties to the American Ivy League too, and were even founded before Canada had its own constitution.

Three dads talking about their kids' school acceptances:
1 "Hot damn, my son's going to Toronto - they publish more than Harvard!"
2 "Well hey, my boy's off to McGill - "The Harvard of the North" where they INVENTED football and hockey!"
3 "Oh yeah, my daughter's off at Queens - working with kids who transferred from Cornell!"
4 "Mmm... I wish my little girl could've gone to a Canadian Ivy League... she's going to Brock."
*Laughter*

Canadian Envy occurs when Canadians feel the urge to try and compare every part of their life to Americans, in an effort to make themselves feel better and more important to the world.
Canadian Dave: "You damn Americans with your world renowned universities, hospitals, and prominence! I wish the world cared if Canada existed, however, I will continue to put down America to make myself feel like the world might someday care aboot me!"
American Mike: "Dude, Canadian Dave, you have government run health care but we have better hospitals and better care! Besides, the world would crumble without America; and nobody would even know if Canada fell off the face of the Earth. Typical Canadian Envy. Hey European Joe, can you believe this Canadian bastard?"
European Joe: "What's Canada? Seems unimportant and irrelevant to the worlds existence and function."

Be prepared to pay $6 dollars to enter the United States from Canada (entering Canada is free). The fee CANNOT be paid by credit or debit card or with Canadian dollars, nor is there anywhere nearby from which American money can be withdrawn in most cases. Also, be prepared to fill out a ridiculous immigration card which asks you questions including "Were you in any way involved in the Nazi regime in Germany between the years 1939-1945" despite the fact your passport clearly states that you were born in the late 1980's.
Generally, expect to be treated with far more suspicion by the American border guards than the Canadians. If you are planning to stay in the USA longer than a few days, you may be required to provide proof that you have the money to fund your trip so they are satisfied you won't try to work in their country, since they seem convinced anywhere outside North American is some kind of God forsaken war torn hell hole.

When I was crossing the US-Canadian Border I had to pay $6 for the privilege of filling that stupid green piece of card they give you, then convince them that I didn't need to work in their country to send money home to feed my family since I'm from Britain, not Yemen.

Get the US-Canadian Border mug.Liberal Canadians exist primarily in Eastern Canada, where there are no jobs. This however is not always the case. Some of the smarter Liberal Canadians have packed up and moved West in recent years in hopes of changing the hearts and minds of Conservative Western Canadians. These attempts have proved futile at best.
Liberal Canadians also feel the need to hold small protests about generally irrelevant things. Some of the issues Liberal Canadians feel the need to protest include, but are not limited to: helping the homeless, police beatings, perceived racism, big business, energy supplies and global wars. Liberal Canadians like to sit on theirs hands and collect welfare and take little or no personal responsibility for their own lives. They generally speaking like to bitch and moan about allot of things, but offer nothing in the way of real world, workable solutions.
Liberal Canadians can be found anywhere Socialist, "I know better then you" types are found, primarily in sub-standard coffee houses. If a Liberal Canadian is spotted in your area, there are a few things you can do to refute their big government polices. First of all, buy a gun. Liberals dislike guns because they feel that becoming a victim of violent crime is a better option then trying to defend against it. Additionally, do not donate any food stuffs or currency to Liberal Canadians. Direct them to the nearest welfare office if you don't already know where it is.
