I will agree with many of the points that you all have said above.

One of the biggest points for me:-

- Free of guns and the violence in the streets and communities that our neighbors to the south are afflicted with. I can send my kids outside to play without worrying like many in the south have to.

Ha, in Quebec, the drinking age is just a suggestion.

james t kirk 07-24-2004 02:53 PM

1. Live and let live society.
2. Diverse people all getting along.
3. Liberal social values.
4. Health Care.
5. Education
6. Vibrant alive inner city cores where people desire to live
7. To quote Dave Matthews from his recent Toronto concert, "I always feel a little less afraid when I am here"
8. Women are beautiful here and from all over the world.
9. The geography of the land.
10. Our history of doing the right thing.

The only thing I don't like about Canada: Winter that lasts too long.

mew 07-25-2004 12:38 AM

I just had to...

I AM NOT CANADIAN!!!

I'm not unemployed,
Or smuggling cigarette across the border,
I don't eat Pepsi and Mae West for breakfast,
I don't watch the hockey game doing it doggie style

And no, I don't know Claude, Manon, or Francois in Abitibi, Timiskaming
But I'm, sure they all have nice teeth.

I smoke in church,
I speak Quebeqious and joile,
Not French or English.

I pronounce it TURD, not THIRD,
And eating french fries with cheese makes sense, mon hostie.

I believe in distinct society,
As long as someone else pays for it.
I believe in language police, not equal rights.

And calis, I beleive that Club SuperSex is an appropriate place
For my wife and me to celebrate our anniversaire.
What the hell, she goes on at 10 anyway.

In Quebec, the Stanley Cup actually comes around
More often than Halley's Comet.
I can get beer at the depanneur,
Not the convenience store.

And maybe I can't turn right on a red light,
But tabernac, I can go right through it!

Because Quebec is the world's largest producer of maple syrup,
The home of Celine Dion, AND Roch Voisine.
The land where everybody is shackin' up,
And the legal drinking age is just a suggestion.

Je m'appele Guy,
AND I AM NOT CANADIAN!!

Mautadit, tabernac hostie.
Merci, salut la visite.

One more thing to add....Milk come in bags!

Really? I think it lasts too short. 2 months is not nearly enough time for outdoor shinny. Bring on the freeze! :)

yech,

In my eyes, if it never snowed again, it would be too soon.

Bring on +30 every day.

Fine by me.
