Our biggest race problem was Ben Johnson; our greatest histrical mistake was you British keeping the French appeased as buffer to the expansionist Yankee after The Plains of Abraham.

Al Capone had a hideout in Canada.

 

He could relax and enjoy a drink.

 

My Gramps was a duel citizen of Canada and the UK, and I have been told there is somewhere in the family a picture of him with Capone as he used to help run Whiskey across the border. I have never seen the photo as it is in the possession of a member of the family I have lost contact with.

 

True story that.

as I said in the other thread, I like Canada, and Canadians. Except French Canadians, fuck them.

 

Also, "Strange Brew" is a legendary film.

And Canadians gave us Joni Mitchell. Granted, nobody would have ever heard of her if she hadn't have performed in Buffalo, but she's a Canadian.

Yes. What about it? I thought that was what we were discussing?

 

I was kidding. Canadians say "eh" a lot. So I was implying that instead of "Canada, Fuck Yeah!" It's more likely to be "Canada, eh!" It was a shit joke, hence the need to explain it.

The problem is that the Canadian accent is not distinctly different enough from the American one when travelling abroad. Therefore on first listen, travelling Canadians are often mistaken for Americans. They are then treated like shite, as many folks are not fond of Americans. To avoid this, travelling Canadians like to make their Canadian-ness very visible - and are therefore treated much more favourably by the locals of whichever country they are visiting.

 

And that's a fact.
