YES!!! My husband and I always laugh when they joke with her on the show about her "homeland". Did you ever see the episode where her greencard was expiring in 7 days and she going back to Canada (I think to renew it?) She goes to Tim Hortons, talks about hockey, talks about her love for Canada. I LOVED that episode!

Another good clip was this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lctluOHZhg&feature=related

I got asked at work the other day about that show if its true that " All Canadians are scared of the dark" I laughed so hard. :rofl:

Hey now... I am afraid of whats in the dark.... But that has nothing to do with being Canadian.

I love how every time I tell someone I am from Canada they assume that I came from a igloo... Pretty cold weather down there, you must be loving it here. How much snow do you guys get again? lol

Hahaha, yeah in Canada we don't really have summers, its cold all year-round and you can hunt bears in your backyard (that's actually true in some cases though...)

And I say "eh" at the end of every sentence.

Its funny though my Fiance is in Nor Cal and everyone there says "hella" constantly.

So everytime someone throws an "eh" at me I throw a "hella" right back at them!!

Speaking of snow.. I was surprised at first at how little it snows by my wife up in North York/Toronto. I live in North NJ and we get slammed by snow almost every winter (especially this winter and last one). We got a 30" from a single snowstorm (on Boxing Day) and I'd be surprised if they got even 3" off of any snowstorm this year.

North york doesn't usually get "too" bad but i do recall walking in some pretty deep snow piles the year before last. However my mom did tell me they didnt have much that stuck around at xmas.

I know for sure that there wasnt any at that time because I drove up to North York on Boxing Day before the snow started to fall here in NJ. I didnt see any snow from Dec 26th to Jan 3rd when I drove back down.

That sucks lol ... In 2008 My husband drove down in the horrible snow storm. We avoided going back to canada at xmas last year to avoid the snow and the snow stayed away lol. Pa and NY seem to be the worst to drive through at that time of year.

I wouldn't even know where to start with all of the French-Canadian stereo types that people have down here. Rude, cheap and snobby just to mention a few. Even my father had a couple of them until Jeff was actually able to make it down here to meet him. My dad loves him now.

The way people act around here, you would think that Canada is nothing but a snowscape year round.
