... eh?
LOL I like Canadians, taste like chicken, tee-hee
I learned something from my backpack experience in Europe this past summer, that people LOVE Canadians and HATE Americans.
If you have some Canadian flags/shirts/patches, they always greet you with hospitality and somewhat nicer than to Americans. One time in Munich, one of my friend wore a Canadian shirt, and people just treated us differently than before. Oops. Really didn't mean to betray our country, but sometimes it is nice to be treated nicely, you know.
Canada is a peaceful country and people are friendly. I experienced this first hand when I visited Canada in several different times: Montreal, Quebec City, Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg.
We crossed Canadian border September 17, 2001, only six days after 9/11. The customs symphatized us, and gave the whole van little Canadian flags with white ribbon attached. That is nice of them.
Then we went to a bar in downtown Winnipeg (something with "Jack", like Old Jack or something), and as soon as they knew that we were Americans, they played "American Pie" song for us, and everyone cheered for us.
When we were at Winnipeg, we saw police patrol with horses, and weird looking outfit. I think that's funny, and it seems that they tried to copy British soldiers.
I think it must be awkward to have everything written in two languages: all signs, markers, even food packaging. I always laughed when I saw some English/Spanish written in Californian signs, and not until I saw signs with English/French I realized California is not the only weirdo out there.
Anyway, good job Canada. Peace out!
