I think I just spoke to the most ignorant one yet...

Is she blonde?

Doesn’t sound rude at all, we don’t hear very much about Texas! However…just so you know…Canada does not have a “President”, we have a Prime Minister, and each province has a Premier…

And for those of you who are fairly uneducated…we Do not live in Igloos…it does NOT snow here 11 months of the year…and if I say I am from Canada…that DOES NOT mean Toronto or Montreal…we DO have an east coast and a west coast!!!
Mwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

BTW…Canadian Girls Kick Ass!!! :stuck_out_tongue:

Jean Poutine.

I thought he was the King.

I knew you had a PM. I was going by this post.

Sorry, perhaps I was whoosed. :rolleyes:

Eh, Raini, shhhhh, I, for one, would like to keep on laughing at the ignorant ones who make those kind of generalizations. It’s a great Canadian party topic starter. “You won’t believe what this American girl said to me yesterday.”

Now, if you run around educating people, I can’t laugh at them anymore, now can I? :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m sorry…but to my own defense…I am not THAT great of an educator, so you need not worry. Besides, there are WAY too many people out there who need educating…i could not possibly reach them all.

and hey…when all else fails…you can always laugh at me! :rolleyes:

My boyfriend’s Canadian, and whenever he’s talking to a particularly gullible American he tells them about the great Canadian migration that happens every summer when the igloos melt.

ILovCoffee, Tim Horton’s is a coffee/donut chain.

As far as I’m concerned, Canada can laugh at Americans as long as its really nifty half-off sale continues.

Hey, if it weren’t for all my Canadian friends bitchin’ about him, I would have NO idea who the president of Canada is…

So, like, you have to migrate with your polar bears, right? Can you use your dog sleds to do that, or do they only work during the 11 months when there’s snow?

Yes, yes they do. And for the record, we also have a bit of a space between the East and West coasts, exemplified by the simple ruralness of Saskatchewan. :smiley: (Yes, I am a Saskatchewanian)

1)we do live in igloos.
2)the sun shines for several months straight.
3)we don’t have cars, or bikes. We ride dog sleds, polar bears and occasional Moose.
4)We have a treaty with beavers to build our damns and bridges.
5) We have Tim Hortons for nice delicious hot coffee is winter and when the icebergs start to melt, we have iced-coffee…MMmmMmm

#1,2 and 3 (omit the bear & moose) are true, but it’s for our friends who live way, way into the earths Poles.

We do have cities :eek: we do have down towns that are huge and full of tall buildings :eek: the temperature does rise to 30deg C, 86 deg F. During summer. :eek:

lol don’t mind me:D

Oh hell.

My dad and mom are in Alaska, working in Skagway. They have an RV and that’s what they’re doing for the summer.

Anyhoo, they’re busy working in shops serving the cruise passengers. My dad says you will not believe how many people ask if they can pay with American dollars.

In Alaska.

:rolleyes:

Hey, I visited Toronto in 2000 and fell in love with it. i wanted to move there, except for the fact that I’d need a visa and a green card and stuff of that nature, which makes moving there more difficult than say, moving to LA. I thought Toronto was gorgeous! It reminded me of Seattle, just in the east. I didn’t know at th time who your PM was and felt bad because everyone in Canada knows who the president is.

I went to Montreal once too, I hear that’s a cool city if you speak french, I went there when I was 12 though so I didnt gt to appreciate it as much.

I don’t know about Tim Horton’s, I didnt see any that I can recall while I was in Toronto, but I think Canada kicks ass just because you have Second Cup there.

To the original poster, is it possible your friend was joking?

I love Toronto so much!



I agree about the ‘space between’…generally, anything from Alberta to Manitoba seems to be forgotten about, and then there is the east…NovaScotia…PEI…???..where the heck is that? Most people, if they have even heard of it, think that those provinces are actually country’s of their own!!! HA

And thanks for agreeing with me about the Canadian Girls bit…we do kick ass…

As for Sask…I have known a few good men from the area…and if you know of any others…let me know! :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m assuming you are referring to Canada Geese. Canadian geese require proof of citizenship.

“Well, King, this case is closed.”

<continue ice skating music, and fade…>

Please please tell me they respond with "Why of course, but the exchange rate is 2:1 :wink:
