Let's not forget that we have a lot of water, oil, trees and mineral up here. And of course that spunky little tart Avril, eh!

No, its just that his Carharts matches the seats! Plus hes a formidable guy so he needs a formidable truck.

I still can't pronounce the word "progress" quite like he does. Or for that matter like Scott on Income property. I do know a few people who travel all over the world for work and even though their passports say America (and if asked they tell the truth) but they make sure to have Canadian flags on their suitcases and no America paraphernalia in their bags. Not that their not proud of their country, they just find it people of the world much freinedlier if they think their Canadian

Since the Iraq invasion, there is a LOT of Anti-American sentiment out there. I don't condone the "looking Canadian" thing, but I do understand it. Having spent time in Southwest Asia...you should see the looks that someone like me gets (6'4" white male).

There is a lot more to being Canadian than being able to throw in the "eh" word every few words. You gotta know how to say proooocess and ahbout! And don't forget, you also need to be friendly -- ALL of the time!

That's a tall order for us guys in the States!

We also forgot a very select group of Canadians made famous; Brooke Berry, Kimberley Stanfield, Peggy McIntaggart, Tracy Tweed, Shannon Tweed, Jayde Nicole, Krista Kelly, Dorothy Stratten, and Tailor James. Hmmmmm who knows what they were famous for? Ok, who knows without Googling the names?
I didn't have to google these! All I had to do was look in my "special" foot locker in the attic!

Oh, and I like the Rush add on in an earlier post. One of the best groups ever!

Donald Sutherland, Michael J Fox, Basketball, Lacrosse, BTO, April Wine, Loverboy, ugh, Poutine, Nanaimo bars, MERCURY, just to add a few. Dorothy Stratten, what a shame that was.

Canadians are cool. I always think of them as our brother country. We are much the same and different at the same time. Thats a good thing. We both adopted similar technology as were closer culturally and closeness geographically compared to how fair away Britain and the rest of the British empire was.

The only fault that I can find with Canada is that they fell for that "need" to swap to the metric system.
