Boring is OK
Boring mostly doesn't make enemies around the world.
Boring mostly gets on pretty well with lots of people.
Boring is pretty low on front-page news, like swindling, lying, cheating.
Being nice to people doesn't make headlines - boring!
And they play a game where they hit a little black thing around on ice and mostly you can't even see it. How boring is that?

My wife is Canadian. For the last 27 years, she has not been boring. Her sister is also Canadian and she's a riot...as are all those NB inlaws.
My favorite FO's wife is also Canadian and she's not boring...neither are her BC relatives.
Of course, when my wife and I got married, I did have to buy her a pair of shoes so she didn't come to the church barefoot. She didn't have indoor plumbing for the first few years of her life, but you should see her bathroom now.
Boring ? ...no...

well, my missus is quite unboring (although a couple of years in Aberdeen helped 
)
on the whole Canada works as advertised - US with a sense of humour and banter and (bonus) better spelling.

My God I've got to let my Canuck see this.
They're not boring... just different.
1. She didn't see the sea until she was 13.
2. It takes an 18 hour drive to buy milk.
3. Every statement is a question, 'ay?
(Selling my house at the minute, viewers go upstairs, I look in the hall, shoes left there, yip they were Canucks)
Darling, if you read this don't get mad dear, at least I didn't say you were sort of American.

Been here a week and not met any boring Canadaians yet... I'll be on the look out though.
I did have a friend who is coming to visit ask: 'what are the American Juniors like', but I don't see the resembelance.
Canadians do seem to love a good bit*h about American politics, never a boring conversation!

And I'll tell you about another very un-boring Canadian I came across yesterday, downstairs in the St Lawrence Market in Toronto, a most un-boring young lady serving coffee in the small coffee stall there. She was so unboring I required myself to stay for about six double expresso's. Made sleeping for the night duty to come back home a bit difficult.
