Subject: RE: BS: Is life so really sweet in Canada ?
I have live in Ontario. Born and raised and call it home. Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia are other Provinces that I've hung my hat(or skates) in.

We have a lot of diversity. Going from coast to coast to coast, you will probably find more ethnic enclaves than most other countries. China town in Toronto or Vancouver? You'd think you landed smack dab in the middle of Hong Kong. We just had a Caribana fest in Toronto that is the largest in the world. Collingwood has the largest Elvis fest outside of Memphis. We've got the biggest .05 cent piece you ever saw! Some people in Newfoundland still don't believe their part of Canada(some Quebecois too). Buffalo still roam free in parts of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta(biggest stampede in the world in Calgary). I don't really have the literary skills to describe British Columbia. The Rockies, the ocean, you have to see it for yourself! Victoria B.C.(on Vancouver Island) really does stop for tea as there is a lot of U.K. influence there. We have Inuit(Eskimos) that still live in igloos and they like it that way!
A few years ago we got into a pissing contest with our cousins to the south. I really forget what is was about that time as we've had quite a few over the years! Anyhow, a TV commercial was produced for Molson's Canadian Lager that's called Joe Canada's Rant. Go to "youtube" search "I Am Canadian" it's about(not aboot)60 secs long.

That's pretty much us!
