Eh?

by jenniferhen - last update: Sep 11, 2002

I AM CANADIAN
Hey...I'm not a lumberjack, or a fur trader...
and I don't live in an igloo, or eat blubber, or own a dogsled... and I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada, although I'm certain they're really, really nice.

I have a Prime Minister, not a President.
I speak English & French, NOT American.
and I pronounce it 'ABOUT', NOT 'A BOOT'.
I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack.
I believe in peace keeping, NOT policing.
DIVERSITY, NOT assimilation,
AND THAT THE BEAVER IS A TRULY PROUD AND NOBLE ANIMAL.

A TOQUE IS A HAT, A CHESTERFIELD IS A COUCH,
AND IT IS PRONOUNCED 'ZED' NOT 'ZEE', 'ZED'!!!
CANADA IS THE SECOND LARGEST LANDMASS!
THE FIRST NATION OF HOCKEY! AND THE BEST PART OF NORTH AMERICA!

The above is of off a Molson Canadian beer commercial, but I love it, it is so true. That is one of the best parts about travelling is meeting people and hearing all of their misconceptions about Canada. I guess that I have some mislead ideas about other countries as well... But if we knew everything there was to know about every nation in the world, what would be the fun in exploring these countries?
