...Americans on the shores of the Great Lakes often wake in a cold sweat in the dead of winter. If the evening is a quiet one, many will claim they can hear--across the vast and frozen waters--the unmistakable sound of thousands of Canadians sharpening their ice skates...

...they don't know when, the don't know where, but one day....

Oh, come on, Tully! Get real. We've largely modernized and now most of us get around on snowmobiles. Pick up a newspaper more often and maybe you would have figured that out by now.

It might also surprise you that many of us no longer live in igloos due to our increased capacity to build single-room cottages. Some of us have two or three rooms. And I heard of a guy who has an indoor washroom like you Americans have, eh?

Jetée, if they were to make a poster like that today, I hope they use Wolverine in place of a beaver.

Oh, wait! Is that another reason to fear Canada?!

The character Wolverine may hail from Canadia, but to me, I usually associate wild wolverines with either Siberia or Michigan (even though I do know a fair to great amount of the population resides in the Canadian wild).

I have a brother in the military. He told me a story about when he and a few guys went on an infantry training mission in the Yukon wilderness several years back.

One day their doctor was next to a river, a bit of a way off from the rest of the guys. He took off his glasses and was cleaning them. As he looked around while doing this, he noticed an animal about 20 feet upstream from him, drinking. He squinted as he finished wiping his glasses, and he wondered what it was. A beaver or something?

When he placed his glasses on once again, he realized with certain dread that it was a wolverine.

Now, I don't know how much you know about wolverines, but from what I've heard, anyone with personal experience with them will tell you that one of the last things you want 20 feet away from you in the Yukon wild is a wolverine.

Luckily, this guy went relatively unnoticed. Apparently, as he backed slowly away, the wolverine looked up at him once and continued to drink.

He didn't stick around long enough to find out what it might do next.

The thing to realize about wolverines is that they're known to take on virtually anything when they're pressed hard enough, no matter the size. Nasty buggers.

Ah, yes, the Canadian wild....

There's a very large military base (in size, not numbers) in New Brunswick. The US military often conduct manoeuvres there, and there will be long lines of US military vehicles travelling from the border to the base. A friend of mine who lives there said he wasn't worried about being invaded, and it didn't really bother him much until he stopped at the Tim Horton's closest to the base and found a line-up of American military stretching almost back to the highway.

Obviously they are afraid of us, and are plotting preemptive strikes at our most important national sites.

Don't you love it when Rick Mercer goes down to the US and asked random people on the street questions like-

"So what'ya think about the Canadian President's plan to out law commuting by snowmobiles?

No one every questions him or says anything like "Umm doesn't Canada have a PM instead of a president?" They just go on and on about how "that doesn't sound good, how will people up there get to work?"

Jon Stewart's funny but Mercer's been doing the same thing better and for longer I believe.

thanks for reminding me of that. It's kind of eerie how I restarted this thread more than two years' after the fact, and then just a day before the past ear of something happening TFP-Canadia-related.

If you’re crossing the border into Canada, and the agent asks you how you met the people you’re going to visit,
do not say “on the internet”, because a guy with a gun will escort you inside a little building and take your
passport for an hour while they run a background check on you.
