Canadian, Eh?

U folks have no idea how lucky U R.
i used to see a, "Redheaded Canadian Cutie" and visited South Western Ontario often. i've also have been to 5 of your 10 Provinces. Your Country and its folks are beguiling. God Bless , Canada.
i live in VT, US of A. here, we are getting poked in the eye with a sharp stick. Our President is a Bozo who stirs up a hornet's nest and then steps back to watch Our Congress and Senate go at each others throats... in the meantime, we are drowning in $17 TRILLION of debt. Our economy is in the toilet and we can hear the swirling sound as our jobs and savings go down the tubes. am i bitter, much? Hell Yeah i am...
if the American people ever woke up and actually realized what the US Gov't is doing to them, there would be a mass exodus at both borders. we'd all be seeking....political asylum...........
Be happy in the fact that you folks live where you do. after all, U could be South of the border and getting screwed.
but hey, that's just me.

Canada is not the best nor the worst country in the world, but it has its charms and interests. And, by and large, people are nice...I know, I'm one of them!

Canada does have so much to offer, and truly there is not a better place to live. I just wish we had made Turks and Caicos a Canadian province when they asked.

Just can`t imagine living anywhere else. :o)

Canada beautiful country I leave the 11 years even became a citizen love to go back

Yep, Americans I find for the most part have no clue about Canada even though we are right next to them. But they are extremely friendly nice people once you get past that. lol :)

i live in Vermont and some folks think the same. a couple of people actually thought that we have snow on the ground in the middle of July.
sheesh.....

I travelled in Europe met with some folks and they asked me if the laws of the land still applied. That is if you lived of the land for 7 days you could claim that parcel of land. I love our country.

I used to work at a gas station in southern Ontario, and an American couple stopped in and were asking me where the nearest place was that they could he skiing......it was the middle of July!! I am a very proud Canadian and love most of the people. I too want to travel all over Canada. I have only been out east where I was amazed how calm and friendly the people are. They truly treat everyone like family! A great country to live in and wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

I'm First Nations Canadian and I love it!

oh how funny, I get the same, I am from Northen Canada :)

Yeah im pround to be Canadian. All i can see is miles of fields but still a beautiful site to see.

Canada gets as hot and/or cold as the US. People should know this by now.

My wife-to-be & I traveled to the south of France, & naively I tried at first to lead people to believe I was German. That failed miserably, so I tried to pretend I was Canadian (figured I might have a chance as a Minnesotan), & I even pulled off an impressive accent when I spoke French. But it was clear to everyone that I was an American. Maybe someday we'll move north...

JustBernieGirl, yes it is amazing how little they know about Canadians yet are always so excited about meeting us.....but perhaps that is why, we are exotic as they know so little.



SuperMother2010, and so you should be!!! *smiles*



Partytested, Well the West side sounds good unlike out here (vancouver) we get many, many months of rain but have had a really nice late summer so far. But hey, w/o the rain we wouldn't have such lush forests/parks etc!! So grab the umbrella and embrace, is what I say!!!

Canada is beautiful and has many things to offer. its amazing how ignorant some people can be. its the same with washington state. everyone thinks it rainy all year long. the west side of the state and the east are completely different. the east side gets all four seasons not just two like the west side. Yes it rains alot on the west side but not all year. we get three or four months of sunshine and no rain.

Hi. I'm Asian Canadian. This is the great country to live. I'm proud to be here with other fine Canadians.

When I was visiting my Aunt in North Carolina, all I had to say to ppl was, "Hi I am Bernie from Canada" and ppl would get so excited about meeting a Canadian. I felt so exotic, it was funny!

Sendittome, you will love Vancouver, absolutely gorgegous at here! Mountains everywhere and forests....there is a vibrance to Vancouver that you cannot find in other places....and I have tried!



And thank you for the compliment, it is actually my smile....



DEGrated, I BBQ'd some salmon last night...froze my *** off but so worth it!! Lol.....and I use my patio as my bevie fridge, cheap and efficient! I am sure the neighbours dont mind either, they tend to come over and have a cold one!

Sendittome, wonderful to hear! *smiles*

Very true Prettyinpink!! Nice to meet vancouverite!! (okay, I hate that term but I had to use it, lol)

most people know more about Toronto and the east coast of canada...how about the west coast or the 'wet' coast if you prefer lol............we're kinda alright here in the vancouver area too ;)

Sendittome, yes Niagara Falls and Toronto are lovely but you also need to get out to Vancouver and see British Columbia....it is absolutely gorgeous out here and as in all the different states in the USA, people are different from province to province. We are mostly all fabulous!! *smiles wickedly*. I myself woudl love to do one heck of a road trip and truly travel throughout Canada...there are places I have never seen/been and I so desire to. Yup, road trip next year, here I come!!



DEGrated, well that brought back memories, shoveling out the BBQ......don't you think that burger tastes extra good after all that shoveling?? I know mine always does!! Lol!!



KnottyG, hello *smiles* and thank you. How have you been? And you are right, Canadians are very polite, please and thank you goes a long way.....and we do enjoy helping....but I must admit, there are selfish reasons for being helpful....I get to chat someone up, lol.

Coming back to this comment after a long while, I find myself smiling at the wicked smile of wickedties.

After talking to many Canadians from NB to Yukon, I can say that they are as different as they come, only they are all nice, polite and helpful.

KATTJOLI, *raises glass and gives you a big hug*



SUNSHINE, yes that is a very good point, it is a lovely little secret well worth the effort at keeping! *smiles*



KTOWNCANUCK, also some very good points....unfortunately though the walking freely among your community without any concerns of safety is not valid so much out my way... would love to blame it on the US but I can't....unfortunately we also have stupid people in our country. LOL!



FUN2BLUNATIC, lol! Yes that does sound like fun......*smiles*



KNOTTYGENTLEMAN, *smiles*..nice to see you! And thank you for your comment...good point, as usual.

And just because most of Canadians live close to the border with the US doesn't make them second-class North-Americans... actually if I had a choice of border, I'd stay North. The climate may be cooler but the ideas are warmer.

When in Toronto I saw a Canadian having a BBQ ........



In itself not un unusual activity ......

















But it was at the top of the Cn tower :P
