OMG NOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooo!! I thought bison were our thing, tear!
How come when I went to the calgary zoo the bison were in the Canadian Wilds section?!?!

What’s Canada like?
Frozen tundra. Everyone lives in igloo’s, the women don’t shave because its too cold and packs of wild polar bears roam the streets at night looking for unlucky Canucks to devour… It’s like the frozen Wild Wild West up there, without the lame Will Smith song.
And then there’s the difference between Québec and the rest of Canada.
Certainly there is A LOT of adversity between the two, but honestly I believe we all fit together no matter the langage. Alberta (which provides many financial benefits to Canada thanks to petroleum) would like to see Québec thrown away from the country and Québec would like to have its independance.
I don’t know if americans are aware of this internal and eternal dispute?

Truth. The whole reason we take this “environment” thing so seriously is that we’re worried that global warming will render us all homeless within 10 years.
And dogsleds. Don’t forget the dogsleds.
retail stores are more apt to negotiate with you, cars rev their engines as you cross tye street, and they use coins instead of paper money.

The question is too broad. What would you say if I asked “what is the U.S like?” ? Wouldn’t it really depend on what part of the country you were talking about?
For example -
The West Coast, Vancouver and Victoria, is similar to Seattle.
Alberta, especially out of the big cities, is very “Redneck”.
Prairie cities, are more like mid-western U.S states.
Canada is very far from being homogenous culturally in much the same way the U.S is. This is something that I notice many Americans who have not traveled here don’t understand. [/quote]
This is a great summary.
Rural Alberta is, well, not for everyone. Calgary is nice, but cold.
Vancouver is ridiculously beautiful.
Montreal is stupidly fun.
Toronto is big.
The east coast is a riot.

Other differences I have noted…
-You guys have better beer…
-We have better women (Montreal in particular)…
-Customer service, both retail and dining in the States is better than it is here…
-Our cops tend to be nicer…[/quote]
Better women? Sounds…intriguing. I assume it’s the fatty fat fats the bring down our Gross T&A Product?
QC girls fall into two categories. Category A is full of sexy, sophisticated woman who are very open and liberal with sex. Category B is full of swamp donkey’s who have no manners and love chowing down on anything with cretons on it. They are also open and liberal with sex.

Some of you guys keep mentioning the hotties here. I find it funny because when I visited Pittsburgh a bunch of years ago for a football game I was blown away by all the babes there. Weird.

I don’t know what you’re talking about, I don’t think we’ve dipped below about -15 Celsius so far this winter (about 5 Fahrenheit, the internet tells me).
Calgary isn’t all that bad, not really any much worse than any of the northern USA midwestern cities. Now Saskatoon…that’s cold. January in Saskatoon made me feel like my sinuses might freeze if I were to take too deep a breath.
I suppose it didn’t help that I never QUITE believed how cold it would be, thus I didn’t quite adequately dress for it. But still…
I’ve been in several parts of Russia during winter – for that matter I’ve been farther north than Saskatoon on the North American continent in winter (on the coasts) – something special about that nasty Saskatoon wind.

Ya, we all walk around looking like Rich Boy 24 / 7 cause she’s everywhere.
There’s also polar bears, and igloos as far as the eye can see. Hockey playing lumber jacks riding moose to work at the brewery. It’s the kind of place where men are men, and… they marry each other?
Actualy, it’s just like America, if America had a few more terms of Obama left wing it up, and if everything in America cost more. (For example, you can fly from Buffalo to Seatle for like 300 bucks, whereas Toronto to Vancouver will likely run you 600). A woman who says Watamelon, once told me that I say aboot, but I think the accents are more geography than they are nationality. Our laws are a little quirky - if you break a law, the trial is Regina vs. Soandso, instead of The People vs. Soandso. Our government works differently - The Prime Minister is NOT the same as your president (no one individual has that much power), and there’s a bunch of ceremonial bull shit for the sake of tradition involving “The Queen”, and her “representatives”. But that’s really just for show. We have a similarly outdated electoral system though. On the whole though I reckon the customs, food, booze, etc… are largely the same. The woman I’ve been seeing from New York City notices alot of differences, but I figure that has way more to do with the big city vs. the country than it does Canada vs USA. I figure there’s douche bags, and nice guys, and cowboys, and suburbanites no matter where you go.
We also have the metric system, but only where it’s convenient. Lumber is still sold by the board foot, people weigh themselves in pounds, and we still drink a gallon of milk a day. Our speedometers read in kph, but they also read in mph. Commodities are bought and sold by the tonne, rather than the ton.
Oh, and there’s no fair catch, the field is bigger, you only get 3 downs, and the kicking team gets a point for a touch back.
Wait there is more than one city in Canada?
