Canadians
to add to Yogs' thread about Canada. (would have put in that thread but he was asking for pictures)
A CANADIAN * Thinks an income tax refund is a gift from the government. * On seeing a light at the end of a tunnel, assumes it is a train. * When given a compliment, always looks behind to see for whom it is intended. * Knows the difference between the Northern Lights and a Northern Lite. * Doesn't know anyone who owns a flag. * Finds Kentucky Fried Chicken "a bit too spicy". * Holds the world's record for telephone use, probably listening to "Don't hang up. Your call is important to us." * Is constantly pulling himself up by the roots to see whether he is still growing. * Will drive to an unemployment protest meeting in his Toyota. * Is convinced that democracy involves keeping your opinions to yourself. * In a restaurant, apologizes for not being ready to order at the waiter's convenience. * Will travel across the border to buy cigarettes and return home for subsidized cancer therapy. * Says "sorry" when you accidentally bump into him. * Waits for the light to change before crossing a deserted intersection at 3 a.m. * Takes as a signal for a standing ovation any two people who happen to be leaving during curtain calls. * Believes the Free Trade Agreement is an agreement about free trade. * Says "no big deal" to a sidewalk cyclist who's just knocked him down. * Considers turning up the thermostat an integral part of foreplay. * Says "no thanks" to a telemarketing tape. * Never sits in someone else's seat, even if the ticket holder doesn't show. * Says hi to anyone walking a dog. * Goes to hot-tub parties where people wear bathing suits. * Finds himself thinking about sending off to "Hinterland: Who's Who" for further information on the loon. * Carries travelers checks in a money belt. * Heartily proclaims, "Sure it's 38 below, but it's a dry cold." * When he musters enough courage to buy a Rolex watch, wears it hidden under a long-sleeve shirt and an Eaton's suit.

One thing I gotta say about Canadians, they keep their cities clean. I couldn't believe how clean it was...
Weirdest thing though, once, took a trip up to Vancouver B.C. with a bunch of people from high school. Some of the kids in our group were littering, and these punked-out Canadian skaters were like "WTF are you doing?!... You guys are Americans, huh?!" and got super mad about it... You'd never see that shit here... nobody gives a fuck if you trash the place.

Snowie, I think the correct pronunciation is 'aaayyyhhh.'
As in it would be "WTF are you doing... aaaayyyhhh? You are Americans... aaayyyhhh?" For the record I love Canada, it's like NZ only bigger and we always get over-shadowed by the bigger country next door - but we have the better ski-hills than our neighbour just like Canada... (ooops that's going to get me flamed) - and I like Canadians, mostly aaaayyhhh.
