Oh, one more to add, we do have two official languages in Canada, French and English,, with a whole mixture of other languages, guess that would make Canada a
multi-cultural country, oui. | |

While working at a hotel in Dorval, a guest from the US asked me if I spoke "American." 
I said no, I spoke English and then proceeding to talk with as many "Beauty" "Eh" and references to beer, snow and donuts as I could!
Beauty! | |

Everyone thinks that we wear winter jackets zipped up to our face!
Its funny how people see us Canadians as Eskimos all around.
I was watching a cartoon with my daughter, and they had some Canadian friends coming over...guess how they were dressed??????? Yup, winter jacket, scarf, mitts and the whole shabang!!!!
Anyways, the heck with them, I love being Canadian and a Montrealer...
Just imagine x-mas without snow, all those people down south will never know what its like!!!
Just my thoughts  | |

The reality is the same for us when we are faced with other remote countries or their culture; so am a bit more tolerant and simply smile when I read some of the stuff. | |

Posted: 7/12/2009 1:37:29 PM | I live in an igloo too, but it's always a bit of a challenge to keep it from melting in summer. Than goodness I have A/C!
Truth be told, with all the rain we've been having lately, I've seriously considered trading in my igloo for an ark. | |

The others had me laughing out loud- atm, supermarkets, perfume, polar bears in the street, etc. 
But the best one was the direction of north! | |
