No. We go straight from “Well this is rather pleasant,” to “Lard tunner an’ Jesus, bye, I tink I just lost one o’ me testiclese!” There is no middle ground.

I can honestly say I’ve never said this.
I really never get cold at home, seriously. I think living in the Arctic conditioned me pretty well. Here, now, is another story. There’s humidity.

Well, you’re not a Newfie, are ya? 
Ah, the dreaded humidity. I’ve heard about humidity.

I can just see the web site now: collect-a-canadian.com, with a weekly special on Canuks or a hardy northern type.
Now me, I don’t really want to collect 'em, but I wouldn’t mind a nice display piece or, better yet, a cozy snuggle-up. Where do I go to order one?

And do they still have Jackie Meretsky?

If you’re going to get a Canadian, go all out and get a fancy French Canadian.

I would hope not – unless the noun you used was “chesticlese.”
I couldn’t live in the arctic. There isn’t a Tim Horton’s anywhere in sight.

It is possible to brew one’s own coffee, you know. I’ve never understood this slavish dedication. I just bring a thermos to work.

Again, throwing your Canadian cred into question. Quick, answer a question only a Canadian would know - how much was Lloyd Robertson’s deal with the devil to stop aging?

Okay, if that doesn’t establish my credibility as a Canadian, nothing does, eh?

Might as well be, after eight years in Yellowknife.

Heretic!
Just for that you are hereby sentenced to one year of drinking nothing but instant Caf-Lib.
Whoa. 80s commercial flashbacks.

“Whatchamacallit.”
"What do you call it?
“Yeah. Whatchamacallit.”

Oh, my head hurts.

Got an equivalent in the male gender? I’m close to a zero on the Kinsey scale so, pretty as she is, she doesn’t do anything for me.

There was no deal with the devil. Rather, it was a deal with the Sheridan College animation department to rebuild him as a digitally-enhanced three-dimensional computer-generated model running on a system of approximately 150 Linux computers. Lloyd has not actually been on television for over five years; instead, animators at Channel Nine manipulate his model and feed it his words every night. Sometimes, to save time, they plug the Environment Canada weather feed directly into the model’s speech processor and go out to the Tim Horton’s on McCowan Road to take a break.

That explains a lot…
Now, can you explain Sandie Renaldo’s complete lack of knowledge of how ridiculous she looks with her trendy dos?
(Ginger - eight years up north equals being born in Newfoundland? Interesting math. )
Wow, look at all those obscure references. They got a culture, up there! Who knew?
heh… those Canucks have their own version of 133t speak.
