1. canuckistanis celebrating their national day

in their quaint folk costumes.





I've noticed that after expressing envy of the headgear, USAmericans are taken aback at the image of the pennant dragging on the pavement. How many noticed that here? I sure hadn't ...

[JohnLocke]

12. Wow!

Nice hats! ;)

[iverglas]

What did I say ... they love those hats. ;)

And you can have your own!

4. pop quiz

They actually weren't, were they?

... Nope, he was born in Providence and she in Rhode Island. Fake canuckistanis.

[Cascadian]

14. In other words both from Rhode Island.

eom


John

[iverglas]

20. no, my duh

He's from Providence and she's from Phildelphia.

The finger-brain connection seems to have shut off right at that moment, and the fingers just proceeded ahead with the "Providence, Rhode Island" thingy.

And I almost just compounded it by saying "Provincetown" instead of "Providence" this time ...

Pass the diet coke, please.

6. I have a great pic -- not idea how to get it posted.

Help! It is a .jpg. I thought I could copy/paste -- but no.

[iverglas]

7. persons with a visual impairment leading persons with a visual impairment

That will be us. But I have it on good authority that you can only post a pic if it is already nestled somewhere on a web site, i.e. has an http:// address. You first need to upload it (?) to said website (hah, sounds like a mere trifle, doesn't it?), then link to it here.

Perhaps a word picture ...

[fudge stripe cookays]

21. Use photobucket...

http://www.photobucket.com
It's free! :-)

Set up an account, post your piccie, then take the source code and paste it in here.

FSC, loves Photobucket

8. Here's our guy

[iverglas]

9. can I say it here without fear of cries from the humoUrless?

(and uninformed ...)

"Who 'we', white man?"

Trudeau's kinda my guy when it comes to the personal autonomy / authoritarian spectrum. (I certainly recognize his leadership in moving us collectively along in that realm, but I also certainly don't adopt his own personal positions on all liberty/equality issues.)

But when it comes to economic policy and social justice and suchlike, he can be all yours, if you want him.

http://www.politicalcompass.org/

PET 'n me are in different quadrants. I'm "libertarian left"; he was "libertarian right" (keeping in mind, always, that the left/right dividing line in human thought is not determined within the borders of the US), or perhaps just "libertarian dont-give-a-shit".

Here's my guy du jour.



He gives a shit.

And there's always




http://www.island.net/~oldfolk/dief.htm
No lyrics there or anywhere on line anymore, but I remember 'em, and you know who Bob Bossin's talkin' about. ;)

"Now we got a man up in Ottawa
got ice water in his veins.
You know that he don't give a shit about you
and he don't hear when you complain.
But Dief came out of Prince Albert,
he was raised in the Prairie grain.
And he always had a hand for the working man
and I know Dief will be the Chief again.
Dief is the Chief, Dief is the Chief ..."

Trudeau regarded national identity and cultural sovereignty as irrelevant. Dief didn't. Neither do I.

[Hawkeye-X]

RIP John.

[Canuckistanian]

25. OOOoooohhh, thanks

I'll get right on that...
:toast:

[iverglas]

27. oh yum

My local 7-11 used to sell wonderful huge drippy bakery butter tarts. And then it stopped. Nothing but fake Mexican food now. Oh, and



of course.

I have my grandmother's butter tart recipe ... but even though I make great pastry, I balk at cleaning it off the floor, the ceiling, the back deck and the cat when I'm done, so I don't. But my friend's daughter has promised me a butter tart-making bee sometime this summer: I provide the ingredients, she makes the pastry, I do the rest. Some day when the heat is below today's 26C and the humidity below yesterday's 100% (I think it's only 84% today, but the difference isn't really noticeable), that is ...

Ever given a USAmerican a butter tart? I find that it's a good way of taming them.

[Cascadian]

38. Buttertarts are good but how about a Nanaimo bar?

Who can resist this stuff?

Biography
Over the course of nearly two decades and ten albums, Canada’s The Tragically Hip has achieved the enviable status of Canada's most beloved band—one that enjoys both mass popularity and critical acclaim. The five-piece group of childhood friends from Kingston, Ontario accomplished this remarkable feat by producing raw, uncompromising music and lyrics that fearlessly “document the indigenous.” The latter, penned by Gord Downie, the group’s feverish frontman and a published poet in his own right, are renowned for their ironic wordplay and references to quintessentially Canadian subjects from hockey to history. But with In Between Evolution, The Hip takes a decidedly broader world view, with songs that reflect the anxiety and uncertainty of our troubled times.

Written against the backdrop of global conflict, and recorded in Seattle with producer Adam Kasper (Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age), In Between Evolution features some of the shortest, fastest songs and some of the most menacing guitar sounds ever to punctuate a Hip recording. From the piercing urgency of “Vaccination Scar” and the swampy spookiness of “Gus: The Polar Bear from Central Park” to the boisterous riffage of “As Makeshift As We Are” and the breakneck pacing of “In the Heart of the Melt,” the album is, says Downie, “a helluva ride.” He adds: “We didn’t overwork it too much, or get involved in too many overdubs. It’s very much the sound of the five of us in a room. It’s like a train, complete with cattle catcher, pushing us down the track on our heels.”

Although never explicitly stated, the war in Iraq clearly provides a disturbing undercurrent to the album. Downie wrote several of the songs last year while touring the American south in support of his second solo album, Battle of the Nudes. “It Can’t Be Nashville Every Night,” Downie reveals, was inspired by a surreal image of the jingoistic country singer Toby Keith, who he imagined “in a GI uniform running, Tom Hanks-style, across the screen with everything exploding around him.” And “Are We Family,” which subverts the Sister Sledge ’70s soul anthem “We Are Family,” questions the depressing direction of the human race, “taking care of each other, one bullet to another.”

51. Poutine!

New York Fries does a good one, always a safe choice at Canadian food courts. It's best to avoid their chili, though.

54. I am so sorry that I don't have the technology to post

an image from the "other" side of Canada: Québec province.

I fell alone tonight... Is the pressure going to stay on my shoulders. Who else among the DU members come from Québec?

We may be a minority but we are making a lot of noise. Why do you think the rest of Canada wants us to stay in the Confederation?

We have a rich and vibrant culture that doesn't question itself about being truly Canadian vs American. We are not a pale copy of the French either. We are Quebequers: north-american citizen who speaks french. That means that our influences come has much from the Canadian-anglos, american or the european.

To be continued...

[SnowBack]

55. Not Québecois, but my husband is...

Does that count? :party:

There were some pics above of the Chateau Frontenac, and Bonhomme de Carnival...

If I had more, I'd post them... but all of my recent ones are of San Francisco.... Since we live here now, we have made it an unofficial part of Canada... :)

58. The best thing about Canada...
