Canada Appreciation Thread

We drove from Michigan through Canada to NY. I have to say, that was the LONGEST stretch of road that I have ever been on. It wasnt really scenic...just dead for MILES...nothing. Wide open.

Although many parts of Canada are Gods Country. Hopefully one day I can make it up there.

Did you take the 400 series highway?

Have to mention that I was in Toronto once and had a blast. In 1992 a few friends and I decided to road trip there for a four day weekend. Details are kinda hazy, but I remember:

scads of hunky hockey players staying in our motel (and having to put a lid on stealing glances with my straight friends around)

seeing a kickass band called Antimatter

everywhere we went in town was well kept (and we did a lot of wandering)

finding this metal sculpture downtown somewhere that made this amazing sound when you knocked on it (as a drummer I tend to do this to objects and sometimes get in trouble for it)

how Toronto was so similar to Chicago, being on a lake, but how little park space was dedicated on the lakefront

driving around was a pleasure - no traffic hassles at all

how friendly everyone was, despite our obvious tourist status - I remember a lot of beers being bought for us

how almost every street corner had a pizza place and a doughnut shop

Good times... good times...

This attachment is for m'Lord P and all you straight guys - hafta admit, I'd hit it too :biggrin1:

Danny - the pic is awesome. I think I need to find a reason to get Canada on my map - I mean for business in case any of the fab Canucks think I don't mean that they are reason enough.

Actually I met a Canadian yesterday - a big cheese in the Canadian porn industry its true.

Down here we blame Canada for William Shatner. Some of us blame it for the Ice Age, too, but nobody I know plans to do anything about it.

Just a quick entry here to appreciate the OP, and make it clear that I could follow through on my threat unless he releases my hostage "Kill This Thread."

BD if you are not appreciating Canada... get out of this thread...

Shatner? Shatner is your complaint?

Sweet, we'll take Shatner back if you promise to Keep Celine Dion.
Forever.

 

[MsImperfect]

I totally agree with you Gillette! haha

I say we make the U.S. take back Walmart as well. Damn fuckers

I was sad about the Hudson's Bay Company abolishing itself, after 350 years.

Walmart is def at fault for exploiting employees. Would be nice if Congress doubled the minimum wage, rather than the insignificant increase they have just passed.

You have my permission to nationalise them.

Word up on the Wal-Mart call - both they and Home Depot have pretty much killed off all the mom&pop business in my hood. Including the super-cool hardware store I used to work at, that provided at least part-time, worthwhile employment for so many (and quality product to boot). Multiply that across both the USA and Canada, and you have me seconding jake's sentiment.

Fucking NAFTA... grrr...

OK - back to our topic...

This is an observation re Canadians: Every Canadian I have met both in real life and here has been a winner. Though Canada certainly must have its share of losers, you'd never know it by me. Canadians rock, IMO. (and Canada also gave the world k d lang, which is further proof of its superior culture)

Canada rules!

That is all.
