[yvr girl]

8. You can't buy a Canadian at Sears

You would have to get one at The Bay.

My passport says I'm Canadian, you'll just have to trust me. If you don't I'll apologize for something.

Colour, honour, valour...

I call my mom, 'Mum' but I spell it , 'Mom'

It doesn't matter what Boitano would do. Bring back Elvis.

As a girl, I don't have any jewels to protect.

4. Why do Canadian girls like guns so much?

And what's with all the ice?

david

[yvr girl]

12. I don't know any Canadian girls who like guns

The ice keeps us looking young, and our drinks cold. It's all good.

[4_Legs_Good]

13. Oh my yes!

on the ice :)

I made that guns part up. I was just testing you.

You pass...

Great coffee, good donuts. Yum. The coffee is never more than 20 minutes old by law.

Oh, and you can roll up the rim to win. I've won.

[jakefrep]

24. You mean rrrrroll up the rim to win?

I have CBC on my local cable. I've seen the ads.

[Dr.Phool]

Seal fur or bear skins?

[4_Legs_Good]

38. Cooooooool...

Gotta love Canada!

david

[yvr girl]

19. Our beds are made of fur

We're friends with everyone - so we trade all over the world. Our lingerie is made of the finest silk.

[kick-ass-bob]

11. What's it like to have midnight sun?

:silly:

[yvr girl]

20. Isn't that in Norway or something?

Most of us are huddled along the 49th. In summer, I've tanned till 8:00 pm. It can stay light out till after 10:00 pm.

It makes drive-ins a very late night proposition.

[Bok_Tukalo]

16. Where can I meet one in person while in Toronto next week?

<eom>

[yvr girl]

21. Toronto is full of Canadians

I would say pretty much anywhere.

[Goathead]

17. Do you get mad when Americans can't find Canada on a map?

It's really easy to miss all tucked away down there.

[yvr girl]

23. Are you standing on your head?

As the Friendly Giant said, "Look up, way up."

We actually laugh at American foibles.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. OK, yvr girl!

And a VERY good morning to you! Here's a question: What is this "oasis" that everyone's talking about? I have NOOO idea...

:hi:

[yvr girl]

27. Good Morning to you CP

I'm not talking about Oasis - can't even be bothered to read the threads. They are a band, but they don't meet CRCT regulations, so they don't get tons of airplay in Canada.

[dean_dem]

28. Have border relations between Canada and Mexico really never been better?

[yvr girl]

31. Border relations?

We share a continent, and get along fine, but America is a bit more than a border.

[dean_dem]

36. Ahem....

"Border relations between Canada and Mexico have never been better."
-- George W. Bush, in press conference with Canadian PM, and Sept. 24, 2001

Are you questioning our great President?

[yvr girl]

37. Did America lose a bet or something?

How did you end up with this doofus as President?

[DBoon]

29. Can you get good Mexican food in Canada?

and if so, are the margaritas good as well?

Specific cases in support of an affirmative answer are appreciated.

[yvr girl]

32. It can be found, but not everywhere

I personally like Las Margaritas in Vancouver - for food and drinks.

It is true though, that there are more options for all things Asian.

[Orsino]

30. How is life under a communist dictatorship? n/t

[yvr girl]

34. I'm sure it would suck

I live in BC, so we have a dictatorship, but it isn't communist. The Liberal party owns the legislature here (until May.) Because this is BC the Liberal party is home of the conservatives. Go figure.

[Orsino]

39. See, that's exactly the sort of thing...

...that happens when you don't have a DEMOCRACY(tm). Are we gonna have to invade to straighten you out?

[yvr girl]

40. And face the world-famous Canadian Armed Forces

Perish the thought.

I think we'll be OK, thanks just the same.
