Some provinces are worse than others, obviously.

I don't generally like to generalize. Which is why I said "I think it depends on where you live." Because my experience differs from yours.

Which is why I didn't generalize and generally don't.

Was that intentional?

Since I did it twice, I'd generally say yes. That is if I generalized.

you know, i only recently found out that americans can't. land of the free huh?

and i would agree that we tend to be "province before country" though in my case it's more due to the last 15 years of shelling out equalization payments to the east.

all you need to know about canada? our beer is better, we're not quite as fat, our national sport is actually athletic and tough (both of them in fact), we don't really live in igloos with dog sleds for travel, and we laugh more at y'all than you do at eh!

Those are not the equalization payments you are looking for.

I was trying to figure out how wyoming became a border state, who'd have known all those years and I could of takinga trip north into Canada.

What I know about Canada:

alcohol at 18.

THe Quebecians are near Detroit.

BOrror0, Cappicino, Scarsguard and Ministry are from Canada.

Borror0 is a silly French Canadian.

THe other three are not, and from the same city.

Ministry is cute, but married. His wife is very pretty.

Cappy has said he is cuter but refuses to own up a pix.

Scar is scary.

Everytime I go home to Michigan, half the change is Canadian.

THey call their money the Loony

William Shatner is Canadian by birth.

To paraphrase Robin Williams: "Canada is like living above a really good party."

THey like Beer, Hockey and for some reason Maple leaves.

There is ALOT playing DDO.

Mounties scare me.

Curling is a National Sport...you got to do something with all that Ice between Hockey seasons...

Sorry I'm late to the thread, I was too busy chucking Timbits at polar bears.

Bor's not the only Frenchie, I just don't share his same feelings for La Belle Province.

No, Québecois don't. We think it's a silly name.

But is it a silly place too?

My English might be worse than I thought. Since when silly has become synonymous with awesome?

Both you and Trissa seem to be using "silly" to mean that.

Naw, I'm just referring to Camelot

It is, after all, a silly place. I have no clue what Trissa's talking about.

5?????????

You started late then brother. We from the far side of the Ontario road map (IE Northern Ont) start before that. Myself for example was 2 months old when the first wine passed my lips (sis decided to give her baby bro some in his crib) athough memory is fuzzy regarding if any did actually get down my throat, or just on my clothes

As a native Montanan, I want you to know that we take as much offense at being called Wyomians as being called Canadians or Dakotans! I demand you retract that statement before I feed you to the buffalo!

What? Canada? Lovely place eh - I live there you know. And we have American beer in our taps too! Come visit, I'm sure you'll agree that the municipal beer (a fine American import) is just as good as down there in the states. And the crazy buggers in Quebec make really great beer. Be sure to try La Fin du Monde (The End of the World) when you visit - just don't make any other plans. Have I mentioned the beer? Great stuff, beer. We import some good stuff from Europe - they really know how to make beer. Anyway, the other day I was saying to Sam (from down the street) - I said 'Sam, why don't we...
