Lol! We hate them too. My family calls them shit buckets because that's what we have to pick-up off the ground if we want to be able to enjoy our place at the lake.
Sherri, your description of that walk could apply to many places in Canada. Our geese in Montreal are just as messy and arrogant. I guess it's one of those things that bring us all together!
Sherri, I think it's Canadian tradition to hate them so I think you're in good company! Also have you heard them referred to as cobra chickens? Cracks me up every time.
I know that many Americans also dislike Canada Geese for the reasons you mention. Finally, something some people on both sides of the border can agree on.
I think if you don’t like the geese you would do better to find a different place to walk your dog. Geese don’t hang out in the forest so maybe a nice walk in the woods? As far as arrogance…there is no more arrogant a creature than a human being. Humans would do better to yield to nature and make peace with it rather than plow it down to make a sterile goose manure free one.
There are a number of flocks at the barn where I ride. Strangely the horses share their fields NP. So long as motion is slow and deliberate they are calm and move away. What I do love about them is both parents mind/care for and protect the kids! I’m 74yo and I as a kid/teen, I never saw one except in London England! So I consider them a symbol of our improved environment!
It would be better if they were edible. All that arrogant grandstanding and incessant crapping would be a thing of the past. I like ducks. The Mallard seems more Canadian, quiet for the unassuming and almost elegant; who has stepped in duck shit?
They are edible, and quite tasty, cooked properly. I'm not sure I would want to eat city geese, but as a person who married into a family that hunted, goose was on the menu in the fall season.
Nah, I love Canada geese. They are the goons of the world of fowl. They are like honey badger. They do not give a fuck. They are Canada if Canada was confident. They protect their own, they work together, they travel. Hygiene aside, they are badges. You should be mad at your dog mainly tilting at windmills. Cheers!

Cobra chickens piss everyone off! 😉
Cleverly written and fun!
Oh that is funny. Thank you putting some funny in my day!

In practical terms, not my favourite. In metaphorical ones, GO GEESE GO!
Loved your post!

Ignore badges, don't even know what I was trying to write. Autocorrect sucks
