Canada Day

Hoorah for all the beaver tail munchin, igloo building, moose riding, lumberjacks and lumberjills of the North.

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.

Canada has the most bizarre chip flavors ever. Sour Cream and Bacon? What?

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

Peegies, that was a wonderful post :)

Pretty much what she said. Congrats Canada?

Canada Day, eh? :)

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*

I went to Tim Horton's for breakfast in celebration! :D

I'm glad you're here too :D

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
