I'm afraid that still doesn't make up for Celine Dion, Brian Adams, and Nickelback. But since we elected Bush, we'll call it even. -

Re: Another reason to love Canada
Thu, May 22, 2008 - 6:41 AMIt is great that people think that Canada is cool.but It is cold.
We had the worst winter in thirty yearrs - where is a little global warming when you need it - and I predict that Canadians will be leaving here in drove and invading your country come next fall, thee dollar rate permittng.
As for lax marijuana law, the local cottage industry in this impoverished area , and I mean cottage industry, is growing some in the bassement. All tenats, including yours have had some. It really wrecks a house.
The police, on the other hand, keeps a close eye. they just wait until everything has grown and then show up in full regalia for the harvest, leaving you with the mess and possibly departing with extra pocket money.
They are also not adverse to growing their own as many stories are spinning around.
These are French policemen. they are just a little more infused with "joie de vivre". The English Canadian police is straighter.

Re: Another reason to love Canada
Thu, May 22, 2008 - 11:22 AMlittle miss vancouverite here.
i love love love vancouver. its a plus that it doesnt get too too cold here.
but i really love canada too - i try to not to get too discouraged about our retarded politicians.
i recently received a power point presentation as an email which helped me remember why i love living here so much.

Re: Another reason to love Canada
Thu, May 22, 2008 - 1:17 PMHey, that mountie puppet spoke good French, I am surprised.
i hail from French Canada but because this contry is the size of a continent and spreafd along, I have been to Europe, my first destrination aftert New-York but not to Vancouver. and the rest of he spread.
I am from the other solitude, after a Canadian litterary masterpice called the Two Solitudes by Hugh Maclennan,.
I am an uneasy merger of everything Canadian: Scott, French, Irish , German and native Indian, in the perfect proportion even though I haven't assimilated anything that came in the sixties.
I SHOULD BE THE QUEEN OF CANADA' PLEASE VOTE FOR ME
(this after your favourite science fiction epic Star War episode)
The mix, though the result of various warlike colonising entities and their colonised people is in fact quite good. My friends say that I should be the queen of Canada and not the old British queen
if I weren't so nice, and Canadian, it would be a done deal already.
(this is were the "joie de vivre" and french silliness kicks in.
Whomever said that we were boring was wrong. We are also complex.

Re: Another reason to love Canada
Thu, May 22, 2008 - 8:31 PMYa well, those guys are ok. Most of them.
But we have Desi Arnez. Catherine Deneuve. Gerard Depardieu. Russell Crowe. Charlie Chaplin. They're classics!
LOL
Personally I don't care where you live, or where you come from, if you're entertaining and good fun. :-)
And I don't mean like Vanilla Ice or Mary Kate Olsen. They're just fun to laugh at. -

Re: Another reason to love Canada
Sat, May 24, 2008 - 10:04 PMi got this in an email today so had to add it here.
if you dont find any of these funny, sorry, i guess you are not canadian then ;)
(p.s. i hate being called a canuck - i guess it is a hockey term - shows how interested i am in hockey...)
*A Little Canadian Humor*,
*Forget Rednecks,
Here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about Canucks.
If your local Dairy Queen is closed from
September through May,
You may live in Canada.
If someone in a Home Depot store
Offers you assistance and they don't work there,
You may live in Canada.
If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time,
You may live in Canada.
If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation
With someone who dialed a wrong number,
You may live in Canada.
If 'Vacation' means going anywhere
South of Detroit for the weekend,
You may live in Canada.
If you measure distance in hours,
You may live in Canada.
If you know several people
Who have hit a deer more than once,
You may live in Canada.
If you have switched from 'heat' to 'A/C'
In the same day and back again,
You may live in Canada.
If you can drive 90 km/hr through 2 feet of snow
During a raging blizzard without flinching,
You may live in Canada.
If you install security lights on your house and garage,
But leave both unlocked,
You may live in Canada.
If you carry jumper cables in your car
And your wife knows how to use them,
You may live in Canada.
If you design your kid's Halloween costume
To fit over a snowsuit,
You may live in Canada.
If the speed limit on the highway is 80 km --
You're going 90 and everybody is passing you,
You may live in Canada.
If driving is better in the winter
Because the potholes are filled with snow,
You may live in Canada.
If you know all 4 seasons:
Almost winter, winter, still winter,
And road construction,
You may live in Canada.
If you have more miles
On your snow blower than your car,
You may live in Canada.
If you find 2 degrees 'a little chilly',
You may live in Canada.
If you actually understand these jokes,
You definitely live in Canada. (Or at least you used to!!)
