Quebecois speak French with a weird accent apparently.

God bless Quebec And no place else. And yes, I can do both accents.

Hockey. Eh?. Celine Dion. Mitoe. Over-polite.

The Americans and the British pronounce differently the word "dynasty". Too much generalization in your post :rolleyes:deleted_user wrote:I''m (un)fortunate enough to know several Canadians and talk to them in mumble. One doesn''t even know how many providences are in canada, the other thinks Yosemite is pronounced "yoce-might," and the third will randomly turn the subject to hockey at any given notice. Not to mention an absurd amount of "ehs" are said, and about 1 in every 10 "about"s are said as "aboot."
Strange place.

Seriously, Canadians are pretty much like Americans, except they usually more friendly and polite.
I used to go to Canada a lot. All they would ever say was "Please check your guns" and "Welcome to Canada!" On the other hand, the thuggish US border guards made you feel like a criminal with their lengthy interrogations and threats.

That's because the USA is an oligarchic police state

FUN FACTS ABOUT CANADA
* Canada is still technically owned by England and has to dance for them when commanded.
* It is rumored Canada has its own military. Their most powerful weapon is the telephone with which they can call America and say, "Help! We''re being invaded, eh!"
* Canadians think they are superior to Americans. The rational basis for this is unknown.
* The northern area of Canada is technically God-forsaken. If anyone there has a prayer, he or she first has to mail it to an American priest for God to hear it.
* Most of the prayers involve hockey and are promptly ignored.
* Canada has no known industry. It is believed all their income comes from sales of syrup and hockey tickets.
* Canadians don''t have any nuclear missiles because we decided they are not mature enough for them. Maybe when they''re older.
LOL!

They''re called provinces, darling!
I wish Canada wasn''t England''s bitch. For example a couple of years ago, a local transportation company here got new ferries to add to their current fleet. All of the previous boats had a picture of the Queen on board and had the word "Queen" in their names. The new ferries didn''t have either, and apparently that upset our supreme rulers across the sea enough to make a fuss and we eventually added a picture of the Queen onto the ship. Silly, eh?

Mitoe is an awful representation of a true Canadian. He doesn''t even like hockey for Christ''s sakes! Although, he does live in an exceptionally cold climate where polar bears roam free and the internet is terribly slow, so he has that going for him, I guess.

We make fun of Quebec too, as the eccentric province. Newfoundlanders have confusing dialects, Toronto sucks for some reason, Alberta is Canada''s Texas, and Vancouver is full of hippies. Maple syrup is amazing, but not as amazing as you are. Lots of moose in the maritimes and wetlands. Lots of beavers in the wetlands. We do say eh. If you ever visit I''ll give you a nice big Shawinigan Handshake.incog wrote:I''m not really considering going there, nor do I have any particular interest in this country.
Yet I admit it''s kind of weird that they chose a leaf, of all things, for their flag.
I''m also French so we like to poke fun at French-Canadians (jokes on us since the world pokes fun at us..).
So really, I''d like to discuss this country a bit more. In particular I think the following quote sums up Canada quite nicely, would like to hear opinions though first :Mooses. Maple syrup. Beavers.

That was just the shortest video I could find. Traditionally theyre supposed to be wearing yellow fishermans coats and the screecher-inner is supposed to carry an ugly-stick (an oar).divinemoon wrote:coming from another country i dont get it..jam wrote:We make fun of Quebec too, as the eccentric province.
