Canadian Quirks

There are many stereotypes that people have with Canadians, and there's a lot of truth behind those things.
In Canada they really love there scenic beauty so they use smaller signs instead of our super sized American billboards.
Canadians do tend to say "Eh?" at the end of their sentences.

Canada is a strange mix of America, Europeanism, and native cultures. They really have a lot to celebrate.

In Canada they still sell furs. In fact I bought a real fur skin cap, and I look awesome in it!

They also love their maple syrup, the real kind. They even had the maple syrup candy that Gram used to make. The greatest stuff in the world, and Renee said she's gonna get the recipe.

Native culture and nature are the center of Canadian life.

They drive slower and do everything at a slower pace. It was actually a nice change.

Mounties aren't everywhere, nor are moose, but they are proud of both.

Canadians also love HOCKEY just like me. In fact they had so much tv coverage of the Ottawa Senator's win and the "other leagues". It was so great to find a pocket of other people who love hockey too!

Canadians love flowers, especially tulips. They are everywhere, and my wife looks lovely with tulip accents!

Canadians love gravy on their fries, like sweet potato fries, wine, maple syrup, nature, native culture, furs, and they love pizza! There were seriously two pizza corners on every block. Little Caesar's was competing against a pizza place called "Pizza Pizza". That just seems like a copy right infringement, but like I said Canadians are easy going.

Here's a picture of me in my coon skin cap next to the salmon fountain. Everything is gorgeous and well done in Canada, eh?

you guys have the greatest adventures! we were up at Niagara a few weeks ago--but only on the American side. Andree said sometime we'll check out the Canadian.

I support the wearing of a "daniel boone/davey crockett-esque" hat in the appropriate contexts. I don't think I've known anyone who has one since I was about 8. :-)
