Red Green is later under Canada's most halarious things; a work in progress.

It is always my pleasure to be in your country. I wish I could get there more often.
Originally posted by Frank BurnsYou see, Americans and Canadians get along just fine without our politicians.

I've been to Toronto myself, it's really a neat city. Not so many gun murders as in San Francisco or NY.
Did you know that when President Bush and Prime Minister Martin met in Texas, Bush gave Martin a cowboy hat as a gift from his country.
Originally posted by Whats goin on ehYeah ... sigh ... I like to include myself as one of the 49% of Americans that wasn't dumb enough to vote for him.

Sometimes I think all he needs is a silver tooth to complete the package. I'll bet there is a double wide behind the White House that he actually lives in.
Originally posted by Frank BurnsMaybe we should repeat history and burn down the white house with him inside. i wonder how many people would be willing to rescue him?

Originally posted by Whats goin on ehI drink Red Rose tea all the time, its not a hidden wonder,
What?? Nobody interested, how about this!
Some things that are really cool and unique in or about Canada:
Canadian Food like:
- Timbits (we will not tell you what they are, if you don't know!).
- Scrunchins (ditto)
- Bokkepootjes (ditto) ('borrowed' from the Dutch)
- Bugger-in-a-bag (ditto)
- Quebec yellow pea soup
- Montreal smoked m ...[text shortened]... rd beer cases, etc.,etc., etc. (there are thousands more!)
Honestly, am I wasting my time??
its a good tea.
Know what ticked me off?
In Toronto, in the farmers street market area, I bought Avacados
which is one of the neccessary ingredients of good mexican food,
being a california native, we eat a lot of mexican, used to grow the
things before the land got so stupid valuable, anyway there in the
farmers market, Avacados for about 25 cents american each.
Now I am thinking to myself, Self? what gives. I know you don't grow
them in Canada, its a tropical fruit so someone gets them from
florida or mexico or wherever, ships them out on a truck, then drops
them off in Allentown, Pa where I live, and the local market sells them
for upwards of 2 bucks EACH! So that truck continues on its way,
refuels several times for what, 150 bucks worth of fuel so now the
things should be even more valuable, ship them north to Toronto
where they end up being sold for a quarter each. WHATS WRONG
WITH THIS PICTURE? Could it be maybe, GREED? or SATAN?
It totally pisses me off the buggers sell so much in the US and
then almost one tenth the price after being shipped about
500 miles MORE! WTF?
Makes me want to find out just how much the bastards pay in Mexico
and buy a truckfull myself and sell them for 50 cents in Allentown!
Still make a profit, and the shoppers get four times for their money!

We get coffee from local vendors (it's crappy) We are 1 hour and 45 minutes from the nearest town. It doesn't have a Tim's, but it does have a Canadian Tire. Where do you live now?
