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....

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.
