what does it mean to be Canadian?

[dancingleaf]

hockey?

politeness?

gay marriage?

poutine?

comedians?

a laughable military?

Idiotic leaders who can't speak English OR French coherently?

Igloos & sled dogs?


in a side note.  I'm glad Henry Morgantaler was recognized for his achievements in Women's reproductive rights and all those asshats that are up in arms *cough* Jeff Watson *cough* (local idiot politician & strict Catholic) about giving the Order of Canada to an 'abortionist' can go... I can't think of anything bad enough....

I'm kinda meh about Morgantaler getting it, though he did change things for the better. But people returning their stuff is just political posturing.

If nobody wants them, I'd totally take one of those recycled Order of Canada medals.

Canadians love beavers.

It's all just labels. ;) I haven't heard of those guys, but it usually is someone with a strict and limited moral code who'll have an attitude like that toward abortion.

What is poutine?

And I've been to Canada. Where are all these comedians you're talking about? :Þ

poutine is this disgusting concoction of fries & gravy & cheese curds. It looks and smells disgusting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poutine
It started to become popular around here in the... 90's? gross.

Canadian comics.... you know - Jim Carrey, Dan Ackroyd, John Candy, Martin Short, Eugene Levy, Mike Myers, ... you know... those people who tell a few jokes then move down to your part of the country when they get tired of shivering in their parkas year round.

ahhhh, so thats what its called. i remember eating crap like that in boarding school.

we also used to stop off in woodstock to pick up vinegar packets for our fries here. u.s. vinegar should only be used as a cleaning agent.

from a u.s. perspective it means eh?, the kids in the hall, canadian bacon, igloos... wow. i could go on forever.
