(Due to the harsh climate, we Canadians subsist on a diet that consists in a large part of Americans. Contrary to what most may think, our need is less in the winter than it is in the summer, mainly because it's much easier for us to slink across the border on ice skates when the Great Lakes are frozen. This allows us to swoop up unsuspecting Americans and spirit them away back to the Great White North. Travelling "on foot" at speeds of up to 45 kph (25 mph), this gives us an evolutionary advantage on the hunt. In the warmer months, however, Canadians must rely on our wiliness to lure our prey....)
