I see Canada as the "free'er" version of the US. Also as a place to go with a friend of mine if the draft was ever brought back before I hit age 25.

But overall, I see it as more peaceful and whatnot.

Here's a quote that I've found effective.

Quote:

A Canadian is an unarmed American with Health Insurance.

Gimp covered it. We have a peace keeping force. And we've participating in almost every major war in the last 100 years. We were involved in both World Wars long before the Americans were.

Haha. Those aren't really terms all Canadians use. Just me. Except I don't say eh. Most Canadians don't. That's just a silly sterotype. But hoy is mine. It's how I say hi. Do you know anyone else who says it?

I said "How's by you" once to an American online. I think it might have been Vampyr. It's just my crazy way of saying How are you doing. I was asked "Is that some crazy Canadian slang?" I laughed.

Here is my interpretation of Canada (as viewed by me, a Canadian). We live in a huge landmass, with cities spread fairly far apart, but where there are large cities, is where everyone is. Most people in Canada live in the city, otherwise it is mostly farm land. As for snow, it is cold for about 6 months of the year, where it does usually snow somwhat. Otherwise, summers reach mid 90's (30's Celcius) and in the winter sometimes as low as minus 30 or 40 celcius (yes its brutal.

The government functions similarly to the US one, only we have a prime minister, and for some reason they are focusing on gay marriage and pot laws. If you come to Canada i think you will find it to be a clean and enjoyable place, where you dont...well almost dont have to worry about being mugged or such.

As for speach, i say eh (lol), and meh, but hey, why not. I play hockey and it is my favorite sport. And well, i dono, thats about it.

Today's your lucky day, happyd00d...I just made you my b*tch.

1) Say you're sorry. And mean it. C'mon, don't be shy little one. Go on. Say it.

we'll start there, and see how things work out.

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst

If I had to pick one if I were you, I'd concentrate on the latter. Peace.
