Haha, Paul Merton on the right there. I know it's Dave Thomas, but it sure as hell looks like him.

We also get Ketchup flavour crips over here.

We joke and we joke about PG being Asian, but I love this country so much. There is so much to see; I could spend my entire life exploring Canada and wouldn't be able to finish. I still have not seen the arctic or the East Coast, or the Maritimes. The West coast is incredibly beautiful and I would love to go back (Hi Leeza and Alice!). I did not truly embrace environmentalism until I saw the ice sheets for myself -- the ice sheets that will probably be completely melted away before any future PG kids are old enough to appreciate them.

I've been a naturalised citizen for some 22 and a half years now. That's longer than some friends of mine have been alive. For all intents and purposes (intensive purposes! -_-) I have adopted this country as my own; the language is my primary language (though I could make an entire thread about how my comprehension of english is at best silly), and Cantonese is just something I learn as a hobby.

Sometime this year, after all my stupid debt is out of the picture, I'll start saving up to get a tattoo on my left forearm (underside, near my bicep). It will be a Canadian flag, and I will proudly bear it when I go visit 'asia' this Christmas.

I'm half expecting Miriel to explain that I'm a biproduct of the consequences of immigration. Maybe so, but it doesn't change my feelings about the country.

Joyeuse Fete Du Canada!

best thread ever! strange brew <3

I also have heard that Dill Pickle chips do not exist outside of Canada but this may be a drunken story.

EDIT: Also, Tim Horton's = my life. Seriously. I eat there way too often.

We just call them Dill flavored; I can't stand them.

Peegies, that was a wonderful post :)

Yep, it's a good place and I'm glad that I'm living here and not Russia where all of my ancestors have come from. :) *thanks the Russian Revolution for that*

Oh you silly Canadia.

Really, I like Canadia though! I want to go on a roadtrip there.

One thing that has intrigued me about the Canadian paper money is that the written amounts alternate from English Français and Français English.

I'd love for you to come visit. After the midwest meetup if we're not still arch rivals, anyway xD

The CN Tower



Slightly off topic, but they had the CN Tower lit up like a rainbow last Sunday for the pride parade. It was awwwwwesome.

I like Canada.

I am very upset that there still isn't a Canadian social group here.

Thanks Yari for the pic of Kids in the Hall <3 Can't believe I forgot that one.

How about some other famous Canadians?:

Sour Cream and Bacon is godly. Though it is hard to find the large bags in Montreal for some reason. *blinks* But back home they always have them stocked on the selves. I think it is a conspiracy by Ruffles.

Happy 141st Birthday Canada!

That's an interesting point you make! I've always enjoyed Canadian weed to American weed. :tongue: I was also thoroughly impressed with "BC bud."
Yes, Canada is terrific for that. ~ Leeza

"Excuse me, sir. We're tourists, where's the liquor store?"
"Two blocks down, make a left at the light. Wanna buy some mushrooms or pot?"

I like Canada's coffee and donut franchises that are slowly going south of the border to my old hometown. Six Tim Horton's practically overnight, and god I love the cafe mocha. Mmm sprinkly donuts.

I'd like to know where this stupid stereotype came from that we're all a bunch of stoners. Probably BC. Stupid west coast.

That actually happened to us a few years ago when we went to the casino. I know the whole country's not full of potheads, I was just sharing a story. 8-)

I've got some wicked pictures from when I was in Calgary on Canada Day last year. And I was in Oregon somewhere for 4th July.
