Christmas in Canada

[Longhorn85]

I absolutely love it. I can’t think of anywhere else I would rather live. Make sure when moving you pick a good neighborhood as I think that is key I live in high park which is almost downtown but still far enough away from hustle and bustle. It is a nice very old neighborhood I know several cops that work in the area told me many a times it is one of they safest areas in the city.

Thanks, that is good to know. I'll check it out when I attend a career fair there this spring.

Or help turn the tide?

Fuck that.

Dood, you're going to scratch out your eyes with all the 'liberals' up here.

Maybe I can convert a few of 'em. I was reading this week about the upcoming election.

The Quebec PM Martin was blaming the TO politicians for that girl's death before her body was cold. I like the Conservative Candidate.

I'm sure you do, his primary adviser is an American neo-con. Unfortunately for the Conservative supporters, the Conservative Party in Canada can't win an election even after more than a decade of Liberal Party bungling and scandal.

You're probably right, but let me change from politics to other Candian-isms.

I bought some groceries and the lady said to me: "would you like bags for that?" I looked at her like she was crazy. Of course I wanted bags, how else would I get it to my car?
Then I realized that I had to pay 5 cents each bag. I took a dozen of 'em.

I ordered coffee at Tim Hortons and the girl asked me, "is that it? just coffee?" Then I remembered that they mix it for you so I said (in my best Canadian accent) "double-double, eh?"

LOL

You must have been at a Food Basics or No Frills, they're the cheapie grocery stores where you have to pay a quarter to get a shopping cart and pay for bags. Regular grocery stores like Loblaws or Dominion don't do that.

It was Price Chopper. I also always get a kick out of the english/french labeling on the food. My kids used to love egg nog until my mother-in-law told them that "Latt de Poll" literally means "Chicken Milk"

More like 4 and 1/2 hours well that's from Montreal that is.

And Ender, stop your damn noise!

That's all? I thought it was, like, 8 hrs.

Yeah, Price Chopper is the same thing. The english/french labelling and signs are yet another in a long line of concessions to our wonderful countrymen from Quebec who have spent decades sucking our Federal government dry by threatening secession. Assholes.
