    The Unofficial CANADA Appreciation thread

    I've only been to Canada about 6 times and from what I've seen, it sure as hell is a great country. Clean. Safe. Mellow. Asides from the snow, its fucking awesome. Great community feel in the cities I've visited.

    If ever I had to move from the US, I'd move to Canada faster than Gray Davis fucking up the California economy.

        honestly it seems awesome in canada (best weed!!) but too cold for my sorry ass. i moved to sunny socal for a reason and it wasnt the smog or traffic.
        SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR.
        Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
        Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

          Canadians like porn.
          I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
          I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

              Socal's cool if you live near the water. I lived in the Valley and its hotter than Oprah's ass crack during the summer. Well, at least its a dry heat...but its small consolation.

              Canada rocks during the summer, I spent my summer in 96 in Vancouver. Awesome.

                      True, Winnipeg has the highest number of adult video stores per capita in North America.
                      They also have the highest number of bridal shops per capita as well.

                        I appreciate the funny way they talk...

                        "aboot"

                        "eh"



                        I still wonder what the hell a "Tim Horton's" is. I saw a ton of them between Washington and Alaska.

                        In reality, Canada is a beautiful country. I appreciate the gorgeous scenery I saw on the Alaska Highway. If you've never driven to Alaska you should at least once in your lifetime.

                          I love Canada and visit a few times a year. Friendly people, clean, safe, Canada rocks.
                          I've always wanted to buy a home there.

                            SIG TOO SMALL! Maximum 1200x600 button and no more than 30 text lines of ALL SIZES and COLORS. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 6240x4800 instead of a 1024x800.

                              Is this "aboot" thing an urban legend or what? Seriously, I've never heard an english canadian talk like that..

                                      You're Canadian also, so you're immune to it. Something in the brains of Canadians prevent them from hearing the OOOT in "A-BOOT".

                                      Everyone says it. They can't help themselves.

                                      I dunno what it's all aboot.

                                          LOL what a myth. Not all of us speak that way. I would imagine the further east you go this may ring true. But not here and other cities.

                                          I was in AZ for a vacation a few years ago. While at the resort I met these really cool people so we are partying and they kept saying to me..."say about...say roof" there were a few more in there, and it seemed to me that they were disappointed because I did not say "aboot" the way they had expected LOL

                                            It's not EY! It's "EH". Get it right. And we don't all say aboot.. however I know many americans who say CREEK as CRIK.

                                                That's an interesting point. Although, "Crick" is in the dictionary as a variant of "creek".

                                                  I had a buddy in Canada I'd talk to on the phone frequently - he'd tell me "I'm gonna go lay down on the coach", hehe (couch)

                                                  Anyhow you Quebec folks - some of your electricity power guys came down here to Hampton Roads to help out, cut trees and restore power when Hurricane Isabel hit - THANK YOU QUEBEC!!

                                                  Crews came from all over the country and Quebec, and they worked their asses off to get power back to everyone. They all deserve a huge round of applause and a big hearty THANK YOUUUUUU

                                                    This is interesting..

                                                    http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_English

                                                    Accent
                                                    The primary aspect is a feature called "Canadian raising", in which diphthongs are raised before voiceless consonants. For example, whereas many American dialects pronounce the first diphthongs in the words writer and rider the same, a Canadian will pronounce them (approximately) as /rVjd@r/ and /rajd@r/ (in SAMPA transcription). That is, the first part of the diphthong in both words in American English is ahh as in father; the first part of the diphthong in writer in Canadian English is uhh as in cut, a higher vowel than the American usage. However, some American English accents, particularly those near Ontario, speak like this. Note also that Canadian English shares with American English the phenomenon where /t/ becomes /d/ between two vowels. Canadian raising preserves the voicelessness of /t/ and the voicedness of /d/ where it is etymologically appropriate, even where the contrast is lost in the consonant itself.

                                                    Similarly, about will be raised from /abawt/, as it is in American "Atlantic" dialect, to /abVwt/ ("abuhwt"), or nearly even /abowt/ ("aboat") in some dialects.

                                                    Anecdotally, the "abuhwt" or even "a-beh-oot" vowels are heard in Ontario and further east, and the "aboat" vowels are heard in the Western provinces. Also heard are: "can't", in Ontario, almost "kayant", whereas in the west, it becomes more "kahnt."

                                                                            i.e. They are sheep.

I'm descended from a man that was born in La Chaussee, France in 1631 and was recruited for New France about 1650. By 1671 he was living in Port Royal. It is Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia today. It was a town of 500 then.

                                                                                                  100 years later his descendants would be deported from Acadia when the British defeated the France there. Their homes, churches, and villages went up in flames as their ships sailed from the harbor. Some would die at sea as refugees trying to make it back to France. Some made it to Louisiana. One died as a prisoner of war in England. Others ended up in Montreal in 1770.

                                                                                                  The depression in Canada in the late 1800's forced our family to move to the United States. Some of them ended up in Holyoke, Mass. where my father was later born.
