No, they’re drop dead hotties! Ever visit a smaller beach community like Fort Erie (or maybe it was Port?) :eek: Here in Ottawa is fine enough for me, for the time being ---

I’ve been to Canada to many, many times. Everybody seems to look pretty much the same as they do in the United States. ---

In particular, those who don’t operate on a commercial basis. ---

I’m not the drop dead gorgeous type at all. Sorry to nuke the stats, guys. Thankfully my hair has gone a shade or two browner than its original fiery red, now that I’m “older”, but I still look like Anne of Green Gables. _sigh_ I’d always wished for “classical beauty”… but no… doomed, forever, to be the character actress… the unusual one… Elly ---

Those crazy Canadian women. They even danced with me at the wedding reception this weekend! I didn’t tell them I was an American, though. They probably would have pointed and laughed. ---

I was shocked by how hot all the Canadian customs girls I ever saw were. Is this a random, localized experience or can anyone back me up on this? ---

Yes, we all are. At least, the redheads from Alberta, eh **Alice**? (wink wink). And all Canadian boys grow up to be Mounties or lumberjacks. ---

I’ve been to more than 20 countries and I have to say that, by far, by leaps and bounds, there was never a city that had a larger collection of beautiful women than Moscow. On the street in the restaurants and bars, on the subway, everywhere. A huge former communist collection of hotties. I was in heaven. My wife, who is Russian, kept picking up my jaw as we strolled through the city.
