[ Shameless Rush and Tea Party Plug ] You sure do! [/ Shameless Rush and Tea Party Plug ]
I’m in Southwestern Ontario.
Pretty sure it’s not Arizona in disguise - it’s not this humid in Arizona, is it? And it’s only like Antarctica in the winter.
What can I do to become Canadian?
I don’t think it would be too hard for me, because I used to live in Arizona. I hear you guys have healthcare for everyone and pick of any school you want to send your kids to. The only thing I’m worried about is those vicious wallaby attacks I always hear about in “Canada.”
So, whaddayasay, can I join your ranks, eh?
(oh, and I prefer a location with good snowboarding and hot Canadian babes)
I’m on the west coast of BC: about 5 hours north of Vancouver/Burnaby/etc. in a small town called Powell River.
My husband (Lazarus7) lives on Vancouver Island, in Victoria.
Howzat unlikely? There are more Anglo Quebecers than there are Anglo New Brunswickers, or PEIslanders, Newfoundlanders or Haligonians of any mother tongue.
Do I really have to check in, since Feynn already mentioned that we cohabitate?
Okay. I’m checking in. Edmonton here.
Edmonton here.
and… for those wishing to truly become Canadian, a person MUST be able to do the following…
Drink 14 Molsen’s and still be able to walk a straight line through snow three feet deep.
Completely explain hockey’s offsides and icings rules.
BBQ in sub-zero temperatures.
Eat cold pizza.
Be able to travel unarmed.
Become polite and friendly.
If you can manage this, you might have a chance.
Immigration is very picky.Oh shoot. I can’t do this. Does this mean an extradition (sp?) hearing?
Vancouver, B.C.
Toronto transplant. But then, so is everyone in Vancouver. We don’t even have maternity wards here.
(O.K., O.K., not everyone in Vancouver is from T.O., but we’re all so loud about it seems that way. Plus, to a west coaster, Hamilton, Ottawa, the Sault, Thunder Bay, Windsor, Guelph… are all Toronto.)
smug
…and:
-be able to correctly spell the word for the winter hat that looks like a receptacle tip condom and rhymes with “duke”.
-know what “flacons de ble,” “lait ecreme,” and “ble entier” mean in English.
-be able to distinguish the voices of Michael Enright and Peter Gzowski.

You’ll be wanting Whistler, B.C. (home of Ross “second-hand smoke” Rebagliati), then, for snowboarding and hot babes. As an added bonus, you can get stories of vicious wallaby attacks, as Whistler is plum full of ex-pat and itinerant Aussies.
Incidentally, Brunetter, love your sig.
Edmonton here too eh!
Eh, let’s see how I’ll do. Firstly, I know how to spell Molson 
Then, 14 of them shouldn’t be a problem. I’ve done more with stronger beers. The 3 feet of snow might be a challenge, but hey, I’m sure I’ll manage.
Offside: pass-receiving player is in front of last defender at moment of passing.
Icing: pass, although onside, crosses both blue lines from passer to passee.
I’m from a cold country as well. Sure, Canada might be a challenge. But I’m ready for it! Not much of a summer person anyway.
Dude, on a weekly basis.
A caveat that merely tricks the Yankees. I’ve never been armed in my life!
I already am, you moose f*cker
So, what’s the straight dope? Am I a Canuck yet?
Calgary here. Am I the only one?
Oh yeah, Coldfire, I had this weird dream about you. You were in Canada in this dream, but I don’t know if that gives you any points at Customs & Immigration.
I think it’s odd that you were in my dream since, well, it’s not like we’ve ever even communicated or any thing.
This would also appear to be my 100th post. Hoooray!
Vancouver
I too am Canadian. From Regina, Saskatchewan. And no, I will not say “eh.” Oh wait…darn.
hmm, lets see
-
Done that, at 12000 feet no less.
-
Offsides. Preceding the puck across the blue line, or
Two-line-offsides. Passing the puck to a teammate who is across two lines at the time the pass was made.Icing. Dumping the puck from outside the red line across the blue line, unless an offensive player touches it first, the goalie touches the puck first, its a penalty kill, the puck goes through the crease before crossing the blue line, or the defense failed to make a resonable effort to stop it from crossing.
-
Done that, one time I had to hit my grill with a hammer to break free the ice holding it closed.
-
Done that, cold pizza is better than hot pizza.
-
As I see it as long as you don’t have a .357 or bigger you are unarmed, so I could do that
-
Whew thank god I’m an obnoxious asshole,
for a minute I was afraid I was a latent Canadian.
Coldy, Coldy. The ‘eh’ comes at the END of the sentence, not at the beginning, eh?
Well, I’ve only been a Canuck for a few hours, eh. So cut me some slack. Eh
Now you’ve got it. Welcome to the ranks
