Myth Busters, Canadian Style!

[KnaveTO]

I will answer those that I am able to.

What is the cheese curd thing that people eat as a snack in Canada?

Is called Poutine. It is french fries, cheese curds and gravy. And is wonderful! Oh and gravy fo you southerners is not a white paste!

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

Yes! Where do you think all your draft dodgers went to?

Where do Canadains go to dodge the draft?

We don't have a draft... nor do we have a national military registration system.

Is French the second most commonly spoken language?

Actually I am not sure if the second most commonly spoken language is French or Chinese.

Parle vous francais?

n'est ces parle vous francais

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

There are many highways in Canada however there is only 1 truly InterProvincial Highway, the Trans-Canada highway (Highway 1)

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

If they are I will never admit to it!

do Canadians live in constent fear of moose attacks?

No... but we drive a bit slower at night in Northern Canada that way they get out of our way or we can avoid them.

And do u put maple syrup on everything, including maple syrup soup?

Hmmm I have had maple syrup on pancakes, waffles, crepes, french toast, eggs, sausages, bacon, snow, so... no not quite everything... lol

Is French the second most commonly spoken language?

In Eastern Canada, yeah. But in Western Canada, where I live, almost nobody speaks French. I know a whole three words.

The second most common languages here in Vancouver would have to be Cantonese and Punjabi.

I live in Windsor, Ontario, which is pretty much as far south as Canada gets. Detroit is north of me. Northern states are north of me. Most people don't realize how big Canada is. If you stand on the east coast, London, England is closer than the west coast of Canada. Canada has the worlds longest coastline and we have approx. 1/5 of the worlds fresh water. We sure have a lot of lakes up here. The temperature here can go anywhere from minus 30 to 100 F.

 

[Grins]

explain the love of curling, poutine and Celine Dion. And yes I have many canadian friends so I'm just teasing.
