another question :):)

Sorry to say that Americans do NOT know enough about us Canadians!! I am SURE that some know MUCH MORE then others but I look FORWARD to the opportunity to explain about my country and cultures!! I PRIDE myself on being from ONTARIO but having MANY MANY roots in the EAST COAST!!

I want to fool people..........NOT guests of course but fellow CM's!! I want to convince them of the sled dogs, igloos, snowmobiles for travel........melting snow which MIGHT take away my family!!! ;D

Call me BAD but I think it is FUNNY!!

I have NEVER drove throguh BC or CANADA just for the records!! ;D

 

Anyone ever seen Rick Mercer "Talking to Americans" ?
So funny!!!

I think part of the reason is because their education system doesn't deal a lot with other cultures so they don't learn about other countries, just their own.

Still, one of my favorite quotes:

"The cool thing about being famous is traveling. I have always wanted to travel across seas, like to Canada and stuff."

-Britney Spears

 

I guess what they say is true.........

IGNORANCE is BLISS : :

 

Apparently there's some sort of deal with American made maps. That they make America actually bigger than it should be. I haven't actually checked this out now, but wow that'd be weird.

 

I have seen it a few times ... and everytime I laugh so hard.

 

Oh Canada!
A great big empty land
We look to America
For a helping hand

With bannock bread
and caribou eggs
The true north big and cold, brrrr
Oh Canada
We are on top
We're close to the north pole

Fermez la bouche
Mangez poutine
Canada, A lovely winter dream
Oh Canada
LA LA LA LA LA LAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

 

HA excellent!

Has anyone listened to the Canada a Life Time Journey song? Oh man, it's funny. I forgot what it was like.

 

I love that song!!!! It sounds really nice and is fun to sing!

 

THANK GOD we are PROUD of our land!!

 

I was thinking it would be funny to mess with the Canadian guests down there....ask dumb questions and then say I'm from Canada.hehehe

 

Now there's a twist... would be fun though!

 

Get this one, when I was in 4th grade we had pen pals from Maine. Now I'm from Winnipeg, so if any of you have visited you know it is flat, boring and boring. So we get these letters from our American pen pals asking us what it was like to live in igloos on mountains and one person even asked about our pet elephants! Needless to say they had NEVER been taught anything about Canada in school and had all these crazy mixed up ideas about us. It'll be interesting to see what kind of misconceptions we encounter down in Florida!

 

Dont worry i was on holiday there once and had a conversation with an american girl in MGM and she never knew that WALES exsisted let alone that it was attached to the UK !!! we ned to help them lol cant wait to here what we get asked at work should be good.

 

I want a pet elephant.

but you are right will be so much fun to see what they ask us!!!!

 

I'd rather have a polar bear....
or penguins!!!!! but they only live in antartica...

 

I don't need a winter jacket or anything do I?! I'm just going to bring a couple of Denim Jackets.They sell some cute BabyPhat ones in Macy's the last time I went to florida

 

That depends how easily you get cold. If you can stand almost freezing temperature, you should be fine. I mean that's still shorts weather! ;D

 

Just an FYI...I was in Florida from April 04 - April 05 and I had my parents mail my down-filled winter jacket to me in December. Its gets mighty cold down there in the winter. 10 degrees sounds warm, but when its 40 for the majority of the time, your body will adjust and when 10 degrees rolls around you will think you are going to get hypothermia. I live 300 km north of Toronto and its not warm here in the winter, but I still FROZE in Florida!
