Quote from: 70 Cam Guywhat the *&^% is back bacon?

Sometimes called "Canadian Bacon" down here.

Quote from: Ed_in_Az So, that's what Canada looks like.

Not really, it looks more like this:

(If you look really carefully, you can see my igloo just on the left side of the horizon.)

Proudlom,

I see your bike tracks in the snow. You must be a damn good rider, or have some serious studs in your tires on your GS.

How long do you have to let your GS warm up before you go anywhere? 2, 3 days?

hahahahah J/K  

I miss going to Tim Hortons.  canada is a lot like the US,  but, well,  better.

Actually what do I miss the most about canada?  POUTINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it wasn't for the fact that I was spoiled by growing up in Arizona, and really can't stand super cold weather I'd try to immigrate to Canada in a heartbeat.

ok as a canadian i would like to appologize for sending howie mandel to america  and allen thick too  sorry guys  :dunno:

bacon, well british bacon, tastes like fish to me and i am told that is because it is what they feed the hogs.  i had brit bacon in cyprus, israel on at sea on a brit ship...so please correct me if i am wrong.

now meigen lives in canada's california so she would not know what winter is    even here on the east coast(north of Maine) those living up north or in the prairies would say the same, we have no winter compared to them.   i guess when you live in churchill manitoba and your main street is route 101 for polar bears and you can not have underground piping for water because the ground never thaws.  well i guess they are right...anyhoo I AM CANADIAN

For south park fans you can Blame Canada for the above and also the following  :x

So, are all Canadians odd and wear fenders as hats? If so, I'm moving!

Not all of us, just some of us

I just got back from BC, eh? I was at the Fraser River, eh? Right outside Chilliwack, eh? It was absolutely beautiful up there, EH? I wish i had seen this post before i went up there, Eh? Maybe we coulda met up, eh, and you coulda shown me around town, EH? Oh well. Too late now, EH? You canadians are good peoples, EEEHHHHHH??? I bet you don't even realize you say it, do you Meighan? (eh?)

QuoteYou canadians are good peoples, EEEHHHHHH???

           :lol:  :lol:

As a child, over 30 years ago, the family took a ferry to Victoria.  I remember the red, double-decker busses...being served a miniature chicken, whole...and, some of the locals speaking with a faint British accent.  Sort of a taste of merry old England.  I thought all of Canada was like that, but as I see them on TV, they sound indistinguishable from Americans.  Can't say that about you southerners, though.

victoria is indeed very british, here in my neck of the woods we are a majority irish catholic aka brit haters joke.  as for canadians sounding like americans i have was at the planet hollywood on cedar avenue in san diego.  i asked the clerk if i could "see the leather jacket up there" and he said "canadian huh"

so i think there is a bit of a difference  :mrgreen:

There is a difference, but it is a lot more pronounced in some than in others. Some canadians, like some southerners, have an accent ALL the time, some it comes and goes, some you'd never know they're canadian until they say Eh? or Abuut(about, not a typo). Some people have it more, some hardly have it at all. Of course the closer to the US border you get, the more the line blurs. The only way most people can tell i'm southern usaully is when i say ya'll. Sometimes it comes out more, especially when i'm with other southerners, but mostly, you can't tell. Most Canadians are probably the same. you don't know till you hear that EH? on the end.

i hate it when i say eh but i say eh a lot.  as for about in "Canadian" it is "a
boot"  and for is fer.  we do not use the plurals you use

such as

beers
fishes
lobsters

ie we went to the lake caught 5 fish each went to home for a few beer and then had a feed of lobster

Yoopers, those from the U.P. of Michigan, also use 'eh' as evidenced in the U.P. bumper sticker, "Say ya ta da U.P., Eh!"  I pick it up when I'm at school at MTU and use it every so often without thinking about it, eh.

Canadia scares me some times. What scares me even more than Canadia are Canadians!

OK, I've been lurking lately, but this is a veteran Canuck watcher's take:-
Canadians are way too polite to say their country is bigger than their Southern neighbours'. Less violent, less populated, more socially concerned, set more land aside for parks than almost anywhere (whatever the Sierra Club may say), export more weed, are integrated, more wanting to be accepted, less aggravating, less visibly patriotic, elect leaders with bad or no hair, are less stridently religious, tolerant of others' religions, more knowlegable about their neighbours, less phobic, give more per capita to world peace, have fewer gun related deaths per capita (but then, so do all other stable civilised countries), have better beer, drive more small cars, have fewer Harleys, are not quite as fat and finally, do not take themselves so seriously.
Other than these few peccadillos, Canadians are much like y'all, eh?

Mounty hats are cool!

The metric system is infinitely more sensible than standard. What's so standard about a 12:1 ratio of inches to feet, but a 5280:1 ratio of feet to miles? Don't even get me started on standard wrenches...

And Red Green is the man!

And, no, I'm not Canadian, I'm American. Not my fault, either...

year jean what?

Jean Cretien was our last Prime Minister and long live the sweet, beatiful Metric System.
