    Long have I planned to defect to Canada if things get too crazy here in the barbaric South. So, what’s the best way to go about implementing that plan, eh? Is Toronto the hot ticket to start out in, or is the west coast niftier?

    Nah we loved the South Park movie. And I thought Blame Canada was hilarious.

    HAHAHAHAHA. NO. You touched her last.

    No. But we will give you shared custody. And alternate holidays.

    Hmmm from the south you say...

    Get hired on as a gopher for the Atlanta Thrashers or Dallas Stars then when they eventually come to the west for a hockey game go AWOL.

    The west coast is much more niftier

    When Americans say "about" instead of "aboot", does it crack you up as much as it does us?

    There's a song here at the top of the charts called "umbrella" where a lady sing about her brolly. The lyrics go "Umberella ella ella eh eh" and every time I hear it I think how nice it is to hear a proud Canadian on the radio.

    On the subject of Canadians on the radio my little brother always listens to the Vinyl Cafe and he learnt how to do the accent (which is different from the the various American ones he can do) and now he wants to go there before university.

    Is it true that you have more beavers than people up there?

    Also, would you like some of our guns? They're really fun to play with. Especially in school.

    For my THIRD question, what makes you assume (Not you, Glug, this is adressed to North) that you, a mere Edmontoner, have the wisdom to answer questions when, right here, is a true bred Montrealer, full of ultimate wisdoms and snarkiness? For lo, Edmonton is a featureless plain, but yea, Montreal is full of good! (And strip clubs, and churches, and antique shops. In fact, each one of those is about a third of the city. I don't think we even HAVE a residential area.)

    *sighs happily as I read this thread* I miss Canadian culture... I've lived in the states for 8 years now. I've totally missed out on Vinyl Cafe, I didn't get to see the movie about curling, and I have to ask for Arrogant Worms cd's for christmas because they don't sell them down here. I'm a born and bred Saskie where the wind never stops and you can drive for an hour without seeing a house that's lived in. *cell phones, blankets, emergency kit, and spare tires are very important things to have in a vehicle... oh and booster cables*

    I used to say eh all the time and never even noticed. Until I got here where people constantly pointed it out to me. Thanks to marrying a Texan, I now say y'all all the time instead. *chuckles* I keep telling people that now I am able to say, "Good Day y'all eh!" And for some reason they die laffing. Very odd.

    The ONE thing I want down here more than anything else... except maybe Don Cherry and Hockey night in Canada, is POUTINE! god I miss that stuff. *sniffs*

    Oh, and if you're wanting a decent, but not well known Canadian group... try Big Rude Jake. *grin*

    PS: SEND RICKARDS RED!!! Lots of it!! And Polar Ice.

    AH a popular misconception. The majority of Canadians dont actually say "aboot".

    But when you say soda instead of pop that cracks us all up.

    hehehe Soda....lols

    Roughly half the Canadian population has their own beaver in addition to the natural beaver wildlife. There isnt more Beaver then people but it is quite close.

    No thank you. Unless we can exchange them at wal-mart for store credit.

    Mere Edmontonian you say? Without this turning into flames and the start of s east vs west war. Ill say a couple simple truths. I have been in Canada all my life and it has saturated me to the core. Alberta doesnt try to seperate from the rest of Canada. We have the biggest mall in the world. And we also have quite the fair share of strip clubs, churches and antique shops. Although I do hear wonderful things about the Dancers in Montreal.

    And doesnt your location say Placeville, USSR. Huzzah. I dont know where in Canada that is Sir

    But let us not fight my Quebecan Neighbor let us share a Beer and gripe about the Ducks and them stealing the Cup this year

    Indeed, but my Gender also says none, and I CLEARLY exist. In fact, my "name" is D'anna Biers, which is both A, not my name and B, someone else's name. All in all, the ENTIRETY of my internet profile is a lie (except for the bit about puppets.)

    As for your Mall, HA! Ha!!
    HA!
    ha...

    As for the Holy Trinity of edifices, even Mark Twain remarked we have the mostest of them. So HA there too.

    ANd for your FINAL misconception, we don't want to seperate. A healthy percentage of the FRANCOPHONES want to seperate. In fact, while the francophone Uber-Seperatists rule the province, steal our hospitals, never give money to charities and then take our things because we don't have a history of "sharing", Anglophones outnumber them. At least in spirit. And heart. Heartless dastards!

    All in all, I must say all of your conceptions about Montreal are of the mis- variety. Now, why don't you run along in your hovercraft and get back to your igloo! I mean, seriously, we got central heating years ago. Pfft! Edmonton!

    I DO have a question though. Can you see your dog running away for days over there, or does the natural curvation of the earth prevent that?

    Hey! Guess what! I don't actually think Montreal is superior! So please, please, PLEASE don't assume I am trying to "flame" or "provoke", I'm merely having fun playing on all of the american misconceptions.

    And if so, does it work in your vending machines?

    Another question: I never understood the fascination with hockey. I find it a difficult sport to follow, much less get into. By follow, I mean, you can't see the bloody puck and the camera's going everywhere, possession is changing constantly so you don't know if you're cheering at the right time, and I don't understand why players get away with fighting. In any other sport, you get ejected/fined/suspended/worse for a little pushing, yet hockey matches are more like NASCAR used to be (not a fan of that, either:) people go to see the wreck/fight and not the game.

    I guess there's no question in the jumble of random mutterings, but I would appreciate an explanation as to the nature of liking this...sport.

    Well, I suppose you could go and watch a sport for the game, if you liked boring.

    High five, Canadiens!

    A couple of minor answers here:

    On the issue of being able to follow the play, hockey's like any other sport - the more you watch it, the better you're able to see what's happening.

    As for the fighting, well, it is a debate inside hockey circles as well. A lot of hockey fans would like to see fighting gone. On the flipside, a lot of fans (and teams, for that matter), like having a fighter around to protect the star players from physical intimidation. At least, so runs the reasoning. It's also worth pointing out that at a lot of levels (college hockey, Olympic hockey, etc.), fighting does get a player ejected immediately.

    Hockey is life.

    You know how nurses put little touques on baby's heads to keep the body-heat in and mittens on their hands to keep them from scratching themselves??

    Up here in Canada, it is hockey helmets, hockey gloves and a hockey puck for a soother.

    Quebec isn't East Canada. *chuckle* That'd be my place. And, to be honest, I've gotta reccomend the Maritimes as a good place to be. All we do is drink, smoke pot and party. Low crime, lots of nature, low cost of living... Also, the Albertans I met tried to fight me, the Quebeckers ripped me off by over $150, and Toronto is Canada's only American city, heh.

    Maybe we should separate... Nah, we'd just get stoned and drunk and die off.

    Now, regarding American currency, back a few years ago, when our dollar was worth slightly more than a peso, I'd find am American penny and cut off limbs of others to get at it first. Nowadays, it's just interesting, and yeah, it works in our vending machines. Usually.

    Hockey? Hockey is made of win. It takes a bit to get used to it and follow it properly, but it's interesting and fun. And, with the fights, technically, they're allowed to break it up and just send them to the penalty box, but often that just means a bigger fight later and suspensions tossed around. So watching them beat the crap out of each other is fun.

    Yeah, but the snow-storms that dump 10 feet of snow, combined with a language that pretends to be english, but really isn't makes it a bit less appealing.

    Come to Ottawa, the town that fun forgot. Get a job in the comforting embrace of the federal government, suckling at the teat of the public.

    Don't forget the fact that, sucker punches aside, the majority of fights are between people who want to fight each other. One player makes the indication that he wants to fight, but before there is a fight, the other needs to accept.

    Well, hang on now. No painting the Maritimes with Newfoundland stereotypes now. We speak English, consarn it. They're the ones with "What're you at?" and "Where ya to?" Also, all Newfie jokes aside, George Street. They have George Street.

    I'm a New Brunswicker, the province that everyone forgot. But, I've gotta admit, I love it here.

    The players who fight are penalized. And a single penalty can alter the course of an entire game. When theres only five men on the ice losing one guy is a 20% loss in players. There are very large reprecussions.

    I have never had a problem seeing this puck. The puck is black thats why the ice is white.

    And the fluidity of the sport is why we like it so much. WE got! THEY GOT IT? NOO. WE GOT IT BACK! YES. In a way its akin to a soccer. Except faster paced and more awesome. Much more awesome.

    Hockey, Beer and Redheads are proof that there is a God and that God wants us to be happy

    Here's the biggest misconception about Canada I think. Offended? No. We celebrated the South Park movie. That movie didn't make fun of Canada, it celebrated our philosophies and (ahem) culture. If anything, we should be turning around and asking that question to the Americans.

    Though, a lot of Americans perhaps haven't realised that they're the ones being made fun of in that movie.

    See, I liked Canada until now.

    I entirely agree with that. HOWEVER, we have OTHER good stuff! Neil Young! Arcade Fire! Tragically Hip! Arcade Fire! Arcade Fire! Arca- woops. Yeah, them.
    We also have about 75% of all celebrities, you guys just brand them american and they go along with it because they're too polite.

    But Rihanna is hot somewhat. I hate the song though.

    The only reason why I hate the song is remind me of 2 of my ex girlfriends and the intimate relations I'm not having.

    Avril reminds me of other ex. And Nickelback another.

    Why do you people make catchy songs?

    I love Neil Young. And had no idea he was Canadian. How's that for stealing your celebrities? Actually, I don't really like him anymore. Only his old stuff.

    The thing about hockey is that it's much easier to follow live than on TV. At least I find it easier. I wasn't a hockey fan until I actually went to a game. Also, there is something very satisfying in being part of a howling, bloodthirsty mob and watching hockey is a much more socially acceptable than breaking out the torches and pitchforks.
    Many thanks to Castaras for the avatar!

    Arcade Fire?? Oh yeah, Arcade Fire are Canadian! = WIN.

    Also Neil Young, totally. And The Band too, kinda.

    Edit: Kinda Canadian, not "kinda win".
