Canucks Throw Cheese In Lake. Bosda Bemused.

Well, if it were up to me, that would be our national slogan. I don’t think we have one, unless maybe it’s, “We are so polite, dammit!”

A well-known anecdote refers to a contest in which Canadians were asked to come up with the best ending to the phrase “As Canadian as…”

The winning entry was “As Canadian as possible under the circumstances.”

A classic – and another reason that so much of my Canadian cultural identity is bound up in “CBC listener.” :slight_smile:

He should have dropped it in Meech Lake instead.

Now we all know what really wrecked the Edmund Fitzgerald.

:wink:

Our motto from the coat of arms:

Yay, Saskatchewan! (But I think it should be updated. Right now it just means from the Atlantic to the Pacific - I think it should refer to the Arctic Ocean as well: “A Mari usque ad Mare ad Mare” - “From Sea unto Sea unto Sea”. Take that, Denmark!)

The arms were augmented in 1994 by the addition of the motto of the Order of Canada on a ribbon encircling the shield:

So that’s what all that “from sea to shining sea” business is about.

(Cartooniverse - heh. “We’ve run aground, Cap’n!”)

Nope - that’s them folks down south who sing that.

Canucks are quitters.
Cheese search abandoned.

All that Caribou piss gone to waste…

Can I say it?

“Who Moved My Cheese?”

Don’t believe any of this. It’s a cover story to explain why Canadians threw vast quantities of cheese into a lake, a reported and inescapable fact.

as if anyone would eat waterlogged cheese!

It was in reality an offering to cute little Son of Cthulhu, who will come to rule the world from his dwelling at New Rl’yeh at the bottom of Baie des Ha1 Ha!
Those who laugh will be Eaten First. Look at what happened to those who laughed at the Tcho Tcho.

Well, I gotta say, Cal, that that’s what I suspected all along.

New Canadian Motto.

SIG LINE!

May I, 5que? :slight_smile:

I’d be honored. You being one of my heroes, and all…

Canada. Land of caribou-piss waterfalls, subaqueous cheese, and non-grotty defacto heads-of-state. :slight_smile:

See here (in French).

What it’s saying is that they’re trying again, but this time using a concrete platform attached to a stainless steel structure. The platform (on which the 800 kilograms of cheese will be placed) will be anchored at the bottom of the Saguenay, and will be checked using an untrasound source.

The direction claims that this is a “scientific experiment”. It doesn’t say if they found a university or research lab to sponsor them.

Obviously, I meant an “ultrasound source”.

Remember that a lot of Canadians speak with a bit of a Scots accent. You may be thinking they were talking about those big deer with the palmate antlers. But now we really know… :wink:
