Let's see, what do I know about Canada, eh?
It's NOT all 'frozen white North"!!
And yes, Scotz, Windsor IS South of Detroit! That's the only place where Canada is actually South of the U.S.
Don't order POUTINE for your french fries!
Their cigarettes cost too darn much, even after figuring in the exchange rate on the money.
They sell milk in plastic bags! They have a cereal named SHREDDIES!!!
Canadian paper money is very pretty! Each denomination is a different color. Their $1 and $2 coins (Loonies and Two-nies) really weigh your purse/pocket down!!
Canada has produced some wonderful comedians...John Candy, Rich Little, Dan Ackroyd, Martin Short, Rick Moranis, Mike Myers and the list goes on...and on. Also some excellent actors...Michael J. Fox, Richard Dean Anderson, Lorne Greene, and others. Singers, Paul Anka, Celine Dion, Shania Twain, Alanis Morisette, The Guess Who, and more. TV shows Kids in the Hall, You Can't Do That on Television. Newscaster Peter Jennings. And yes, I know some of these performers are dead.
Canadian's invented Trivial Pursuit!
When you shop at Candadian Tire, you get Canadian Tire Money with your change. Save enough and you can spend it back in the store. WhoooHOoo!! And yes there is a difference between Canadian Tire Money and Canadian Money.
You don't pay an electric or gas bill. You pay a "hydro" bill.
Tim Horton's makes great donuts!
Those of us who are/were blessed to live close enough to Canada to get the CBC broadcasts know how much better their Olympic coverage is. And Long Live HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA, including Ron Maclean (sp?)
They gave us Don Cherry.......love him or hate him, he's fun to watch, if for nothing else then at least to see what he's wearing this week!
Last, but definitely NOT least............................................. ...
CANADA gave us the WORLD'S GREATEST SPORT ..............HOCKEY !!!!
And for that I am forever grateful!!![
