What's the Canadian equivilent?
What's the Canadian equivalent of the British "chav" and Australian "bogan"?
@Kat Von Kitten: I don't believe that for a second, but certainly believe that you have unjustifiably climbed upon that infamous high horse that many Canadians have been known to mount on a regular basis. Know that the rest of the world secretly finds this attitude rather painful.

"trash" or "redneck"... the same as in the US, and apparently "Calgarians don't take kindly to admitting there are some there", so I guess that leaves "Millwoods" in Edmonton, Sudbury, and Fredericton.

Canada is a very socially liberal country and is fiscally conservative. We do not use a terminology for lower class people because we are not collectively ignorant, individuals have their own private words based on private prejudice.
@ Mark: omg let it go. "dont take kindly" was a pun i derived from the south park animation to satirize white mid-westerners. Hence "calgary"... We dont have a universal term for the poor that is derived from candian dialogue im sorry. reneck and ghetto would be individual pop culture terms. *shruggs*
I dont live in Calgary.
