Princess (boring) Anne's son is romantically connected with a Canadian, according to my local rag this AM.....by the looks of her, there's some boring going on there....

A finer bunch of people you could not hope to meet.

No you are not, even though your sense of humour is different, I know which side of the atlantic i would prefer to reside on.

I think that American are more boring especially after they have had one or two of our high test beers. Not very talkative from under the table.

I'm a canuck and don't consider myself boring... a little off, but that's about it :)

I composed a "day in the life" of a Canadian on my website:

Clicky Clicky

I warn you, it gets pretty boring. ;)

You know your a canadian when......



You're not offended by the term, "Homo Milk."

You understand the phrase, "Could you pass me a serviette, I just dropped my poutine, on the chesterfield."

You eat chocolate bars, not candy bars.

You drink pop, not soda.

You know what a Mickey and 2-4 mean.

You don't care about the fuss with Cuba. It's a cheap place to go for your holidays, with good cigars.

You know that a pike is a type of fish, not part of a highway.

You drive on a highway, not a freeway.

You have Canadian Tire money in your kitchen drawers.

You know that Casey and Finnegan were not part of a Celtic musical group.

You get excited whenever an American television show mentions Canada.

You brag to Americans that: Shania Twain, Jim Carrey, Celine Dion and many more are Canadians.

You know that the C.E.O. of American Airlines is a Canadian!

You know what a touque is.

You know that the last letter of the English alphabet is always pronounced "Zed" not "Zee".

You understand the Labatt Blue commercials.

You know how to pronounce and spell "Saskatchewan."

You perk up when you hear the theme song from "Hockey Night in Canada."

You were in grade 12, not the 12th grade.

"Eh?" is a very important part of your vocabulary and more polite than, "Huh?"

Winter. Whenever you want it. And then some.

There's German food, Italian food, Chinese food, Armenian food, American food, but NO Canadian food.

You call a "mouse" a "moose".

You like the Americans a little because they don't want Quebec either.

Contests run by anyone other than the government have "skill-testing questions" that winners must answer correctly before they can claim a prize.

Everything is labelled in English and French.

Milk comes in plastic bags as well as cartons and plastic jugs.

Mountain Dew has no caffeine.

You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Canada.

Pity about your attitude to whaling........makes you a 6/10...:suspect:

Sailboat 22nd October 2005 09:44

A Canadian is an unarmed American with health care.

604guy 23rd October 2005 20:08

"Pity about your attitude to whaling"


HUH?

pigboat 24th October 2005 01:43

Thar she blows!!!!!! :E

604guy 25th October 2005 23:10

PB

That's just nasty! :}

pigboat 25th October 2005 23:40

Ain't it though? :D :E
I think there's a t-shirt out there that says "save the whales, harpoon a fat chick." :D

Leffy Gold 30th October 2005 23:02

I'd have to agree.

;)

Canada-The home of the decent and kind.
 
To be decent in a world of hate. To value and be kind to your fellow man, to offer health care to your poor, benefits and decent wages. Not to have the right to own a M-16 rifle for 'personal protection'.

Not have 12 year olds carring 50 cal handguns to school. Not to have 40% of your population living on the poverty line.

To be a Canandian is a great thing, you should stand up tall for being kind and good people who respect others in the world.

A great country, a great people.

Canada 'the decent and kind version of America' (I am here refering to how America treats its own poor).

P.S if you live in a democrate state in the U.S.A you may have some level of humanity toward your fellow countrymen. Any country that has 0.01% of its population own 90% of the wealth is not a healthy place.

Confabulous 24th November 2005 13:14

Ok, so if I want to visit Canada (on holiday), where should I go? Anywhere with a mix between city and country I supoose...

Any suggestions?

Huron Topp 24th November 2005 14:37

Confabulous,

anywhere in the Maritimes (Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick). You'll even find that many in NS and PEI speak with a semi-Irish accent.;)

Rollingthunder 27th November 2005 22:15

Confabulous

Try British Columbia. Only takes a short while to get into wilderness or Vancouver Island B&B territory or anything in between. Still largely unspoiled is us.

reynoldsno1 27th November 2005 23:20

Oh, not this question again ......:bored:

Confabulous 30th November 2005 10:13

Vancouver it is then... now to find out when the snow comes and goes!

Huron Topp 30th November 2005 16:51

Vancouver? Snow? Those two words very rarely go together. Rain on the other hand...

ecnalubma 30th November 2005 17:33

Come to the Okanagan Valley. if you come in late february you can ski in the morning and golf in the afternoon or do a little wine touring if that is your fancy. Kelowna or Penticton are both nice areas, cheaper than Vancouver and you don't have the sea to sky highway to contend with to get to the hills. Penticton has about 60,000 people and Kelowna is just slightly over 100,000.
