4. Not a question about Canadian myths, but a request -
If, God help us, Bush actually wins in Nov - would you please invade us?

6. Dispell this
My son and my father went up to B.C. this week to visit some of my son's relatives. My Dad goes to a bar, maybe bar and grill type thing, I dunno. Requests Bourbon. The pretty young bartender, according to my dad, kinda stood around, twirling her hair, and finally asked her manager "what's Bourbon?" He told her and my dad got his drink. He asked her why didn't she know what Bourbon was, and she said "well around here they mostly drink beer" To be fair, the hard stuff came out of some kind of automatic dispenser in this place.

7. Good morning, HeyHey!
You've never cooked back bacon before? That would go lovely with my coffee right now.

Does this count? Hockey isn't the national sport of Canada. The official national sport of Canada is lacrosse... which looks like hockey to me, except that it has little nets on the end of the stick, it's not played on ice and the players are allowed to high stick.

15. Used to be the case
Now hockey and lacrosse are both official sports.

HeyHey, I thought you were supposed to be working.

I've had back bacon but usually in the States.

Bourbon is not a popular drink in Canada, although I would venture that most places serve it. Rye is much more common.

There is not a wall of snow at the border. I don't know Sally from Ontario.

18. Yes, I recall
but I believe you mentioned something about 'paperwork'

You just came down to the coast to fill up on lattes and get your feet wet didn't you?

11. Is it true?
You are all hockey playing, Rush loving, molson drinking, yankee hating, eh speaking non Foxnews watchers.

To Remy Knott and all my friends in Canada especially Toronto you guys are my people and keep that hate network FoxTV off the air.
I have written a lot about how vile Bill O'Rightwing is when he tells us to hate you.

27. I think he means Rush, as in "Today's Tom Sawyer, he gets..."
as opposed to Rush, the pill addict.

21. Even though you're Canadian
Why can't you and the rest of your fellow countrymen be good Americans and support George W. and Jesus (in that order)?

23. I know, how dare we pollute your northern border
with the stench of our European-like social democracy. It isn't decent.

24. What's the deal with "Newfies"?
My family is from very remote northern Minnesota, and actually snuck into the States from Canada about 100 years ago, so I have a fairly decent affinity for the Great White North. Well, as much of an affinity as you can have as an American, anyway.

But still, for the life of me, I simply cannot understand Newfies. Do they really speak English? Are they brain-damaged? Has so much isolation caused their gene pool to stagnate?

:shrug:

The one where they put polar bears on ice floes in Toronto harbor in July so hunters can get them?

37. I don't live in an igloo
Actually, it's cold enough in here I might as well be living in an igloo but that's 'cause Ank is a fresh-air freak and he's got every window in the place open.
