About the "50% of canadians near the border" thing...

a) That has a lot to do with how the country was initially settled.
b) It's FUCKING COLD everywhere else. What, did you think we ENJOYED it or something?

― Simon H., Thursday, 12 August 2004 12:27 (nineteen years ago) link

And
C) We did at one time own or claim ownership over Maine, Washington/Oregon State, Ohio river valley and upstate New York. But the British tossed it all away. So we can't help it if the Manifest dynasty made us close neighbors.

Another picture of Canada's--and possibly the world's--greatest hippy magician ever, to get us closer to 35%.

And the Natural Law Party's former deputy leader.

He was a Renaissance (Faire) man.

Americans accusing Canadians of insecurity has made my day lots. That's comedy.

― Dave B (daveb), Thursday, 12 August 2004 13:29 (nineteen years ago) link

As a nation we're very secure in the fact we aren't Americans.
In fact I hear its printed on the new 100 dollar bill.

Our national motto is "The old grey mare she ain't what she used to be" in latin.

The Canadian Cheech and Chong, them.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 12 August 2004 14:02 (nineteen years ago) link

Chong is already a Canadian. Used to be in the Armed Forces even.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 12 August 2004 14:04 (nineteen years ago) link

Damn, you're right!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 12 August 2004 14:04 (nineteen years ago) link

And Cheech used to be a liftie in Banff. Can't remember which mountain anymore.

Haha, I read that book b/c he talks about his Canada World Youth experience - and I needed to laugh about my own.
omg, government-funded inter/national programs about "community-building" own Canada.

Have you read Katima-Victim?

Based on the pictures posted so far, our Doug Henning content quota is sadly only at 11.1%.

Now at 15.8%...

Take that, Siegfried and Roy!

Yes, and I'm glad CWY got me before Katimavik, eek. That said, I encourage all people under the age of 25 to do programs like this. But I'm of the what-doesn't-kill-you-makes-you-stronger school. Oh, and an idealist.
(i'm not saying x-post just b/c of Doug Henning.)

Bewildered and astonished...

Are you a more informed and involved Canadian for it, Huck? (But seriously, I actually am. Still fun to make fun of though.)

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Thursday, 12 August 2004 15:03 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah. I also got in the habit of moving every 3 months, which is why I'm so fucked up now.

― Huck, Thursday, 12 August 2004 15:09 (nineteen years ago) link

But I wouldn't trade it for...well, maybe for a career.

― Huck, Thursday, 12 August 2004 15:09 (nineteen years ago) link

How about teaching EFL in the Orient? Thats the new alternative to becoming eurotrash backpacker.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 12 August 2004 16:11 (nineteen years ago) link

ESL?

― Huck, Thursday, 12 August 2004 16:22 (nineteen years ago) link

foreign or second.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 12 August 2004 16:23 (nineteen years ago) link

I've never seen it as F, but I guess, yeah, in the Far East, it is.

From Hansard, the Parliamentary Record:
Chuck Strahl:

If full disclosure is necessary to the financial manager, it begs an important question. Just who is the boss of Canada? Is it the government or the people who elect
the government? I would say that the people of Canada are the boss and they have hired this government for a short period of time to manage the public affairs for
them.

― Huck, Thursday, 12 August 2004 16:31 (nineteen years ago) link

Can't they just use the parliament killfile on Chucky and Debbie?

'canada's most intriguing'

― dave q (listerine), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 03:33 (nineteen years ago) link

I kinda feel a little sorry for the band. I hope they outlive the "we're the band that Pitchfork broke" tag. That would be sad if they didn't.

TIME in misspelling "irritating" shocka.

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 6 April 2005 13:58 (nineteen years ago) link

It's the Canadian spelling, throws our yankee overlords for a loop.
