But the West is largely ignored of course even by our illustrious leader Justin Trudope who forgot Alberta exists (http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/ ... -1.4187656) and considering it is probably the richest Province with its oil is his usual embarrassment.
And I wish folks would stop with this "Canadians are so polite & nice" rhetoric. It's a facade, Canadians will screw you over just as quick as anyone else except they do it with a smile. That impression is a hang over from the 1950's.
And when they say "sorry" it is just as meaningful as the American "Have a nice day".
Ahhhhh! Got that of my chest, Flame away. But it's true.
We'd expect so -- you'd be in the Arctic since the northern border of North America would be Alaska and Canada (although Greenland is sometimes added in the mix). During the past wars you got used to calling U.S. soldiers Yanks (most have forgotten its Dutch origin) but the Germans frequently called us Amerikaner. Although I haven't heard a direct complaint from Canadians, I have from Mexicans who also consider themselves (North) Americans; I don't know how that can be rectified because United Statesians just doesn't sound right (well, sometimes they also call us a few other things, at least one of which is just nuts...)Fozzer wrote:Any place over the North American Border has got to be cold...I reckon!
