A Reality Check.

[Penny Lane 8,159]

Naw. The Canadiens are the best part about Canada. There is nothing like sucking suds and trashing Anglo capitalism.

Sucking suds? I don't even know what this means...

Quebec is beautiful. Just ignore the people.

Hell I used to live there and wouldn't move back to Quebec. Politics and taxes there drive you nuts. I do love to visit though

Hey, my father's French! I have nothing against them in general, just the few times we actually went over to Quebec for family gatherings, I did not have the greatest experience due to my lack of speaking the language.

I've never been to Quebec, but I have been to Ontario, and met many people from Quebec. Everyone I met from Quebec was great. Plus, I got to practice my French.

But they can't say they are anything but number one, anywhere. I think that trumps our internet magic.

if a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

I LOVE Canada but I don't think I could move back there. When I go back to visit I notice how much more expensive things are compared to where I live in the US

True. I've been here two years this September and sometimes I'm still amazed at how cheap something is.

I really hope that we don't hear much of a sound from North Korea, but I imagine it sounds something like "boom!" Or, with their luck of launching rockets, maybe a quiet "splash" coming from nearby?

By the way, I haven't actually been to North Korea, and therefore will not judge it, except jokingly.

I don't know how many times someone in Ontario yelled at me for not speaking French. And yet when I went to Quebec and spoke English, they were offended that I "expected" that of them. Bah.

Everything good I said about Canada excludes Quebec.

You know how I know you're a Canadian?

I have found that it all averages out in the end. What Canada charges in higher taxes, the US charges in upfront money, such as health insurance. Also home prices in Canada are dirt cheap compared to the big cities in the US. I could buy a mansion in Canada for what I pay for my house in Mass.

That doesn't make it the best. That just makes it your personal preference. Which is perfectly OK.

yes, it does make it the best. every life decision should be made based on personal preference. you're the one that has to live with it.

Why is that the question? That's not the point of the OP or this thread.

because we changed it.

What does everyone have against the Canadian francophones anyway?

Uhm, their mind-numbing insistence to NOT be part of Canada ?

I'm not, my better half is.

especially groceries. a pack of chicken can cost around 10 bucks up there and down here I can get the same pack of chicken for $5 bucks or less..
