Are Canadians nothing more than watered down Americans? Was there ever a Canadian culture? Is the 'mosaic' that makes up Canada's small populations reeally just a collection of foreign vistors taking up space? Can you give me 10 examples of true Canadians?

Take your Grade 12 homework assignment to the library and finish it there son.

The fact you are a Canadian and can't answer this yourself is sickening. Someone should shoot you.

Nothing really. Hand of Hecate is just too lazy to even read a Pierre Burton book. I'd lend him my "Wolfe of Quebec" book but i'm afraid the liberal use of 4 syllable words might be too much for him

Quebec isn't Canada and has some redeeming cultural identity.

What? I can't ask a simple question without being insulted? Apparently politeness is no longer part of the Canadian culture.

Pierre Berton once said that a Canadian is a person who knows how to make love in a canoe.

It's the kayaks that are a real challenge.

They're awfully nice I find. They also have a better American accent than almost any American I've ever met who wasn't on the news.

Oops, perpetuating the myth...care for a beaver tail or some wild Pacific salmon? 🙂
