Myth Busters, Canadian Style!

[Cory Lover]

Hey,

Well, I have came to a sad conclusion, Americans don't know that much about Canada (there will always be exceptions). In the chat room I joked and said Canada's Parliment buidlings are made out of ice, everyone thought I wasn't joking:werd: Sad.

Ok, so here is my plan. I want anyone that has a question about Canada to ask it. It could be "Does Canada have snow all year?" or "Do you guys have cities with more then 1,000 people?". I'm at your service for all of your Canada questions. I know that there are gonna be some whacky questions, or who nows I may get no questions, but the point of this is to bust some myths, Canadian Style!

Americans don't know anything about America.. I live in North Dakota and people think we still drive horse and buggy.. It is amazing sometimes.

Umm... do Canadians wear ice-hockey uniform all year round?
Does a Canadian's vocabulary consist of only a combination of the words "Aboot" and "Eh?"

That's all I got to ask, maybe I should make one of these about Australian myths, somebody in Flash Chat thought that cricket was just a sort of grass-hopper...

haha, some times people wear team jerseys any time of the year, but not everyday. but it doesnt matter if theres a game or not.

haha no canadians are much more smart then americans and are vocab is much better then theres hence why they only notice those 2 words, but they use "Eh?" just as much as the next person.
and we dont always say "aboot" :dance:

So... "What You Talkin' Aboot Eh?" Isn't the Canadian National Anthem?
I've been lied to all these years

America has problems with people sneaking in from the south, do Americans try to sneak into Canada?

Where do Canadains go to dodge the draft?

Did the bands Broken Social Scene and Arcade Fire come from Canada?

Is French the second most commonly spoken language?

Parle vous francais?

Is there only one road in Canada? (saw it on South Park, where I get most of my knowledge from)

Are the guys who made South Park Canadian? (Matt Stone, Trey Parker)

There was one more, an educated question, that I forgot

It's Poutine.

I thought it sounded and looked so gross that I went the first 30 years of my life avoiding it. Then a year ago (I'm only 31) I went to Burger King and decided to try some. (Yes, our Burger Kings and A&Ws up here have Poutine on the menu.)

It was so good I couldn't believe it! It's unfortunate I went so long without it, but on the flipside, it's very unhealthy for you. Probably why it tastes so good.

For anyone who doesn't know, it's fresh hot french fries, with melted curd cheese and dark gravy on top.
