Canada is a large nation primarily full of bears, moose, and beer-swilling hosers who drive Zambonis.

Also some of them speak French.

They talk like their noses are perpetually stopped up, which may be on account of the weather.

To quote a friend who is a Native Hawaiian and whose family has been in honorable business of fleecing tourists for several generations:
"Canadians are some of the nicest people in the world, but they are soooooo boring"

When you go to Cheetah's in Windsor and want to tip the dancers on stage, they don't let you throw loonies and twonies at them.

I just recently spent time in Canada for a buddy's bachelor party and subsequent wedding. The Candian ballet (strip clubs) are awesome. Full nude and alcohol, plus the one I went to had no covercharge, and cheap drinks to boot. When I went back for the wedding, we were told (jokingly) that you could have an open container in a car, as long as you weren't driving. Well, we stopped at the Beer Store (beer and liquor are sold in seperate stores in Canada) and picked upa six pack. After the wedding rehearsal and dinner, we took the groom out for his last night of freedom, a few bars and a few drinks later, we made a wrong turn(if we had gone right instead of left we would've wound up at our hotel) and ran into a DUI roadblock. They (the police) see our cooler and empty cans a tell us to pull over. The driver blew clean (he had been drinking a little, but he is also 6'8" so the alcohol had almost no effect) but my other friend owned up for having the beer and was cited $125 Canandian for open containers. Fun times.

In Ontario, smoking in any public place is outlawed, you can go into a strip club, casino, and the thrashiest bar you can find and come out smelling like you walked out of the laundry room.

There is no probabe cause needed to detain and search any person or car in Ontario as well, so you have to be extra careful if you are up to no good.

Canadians are some of the nicest people I've ever met, and they know how to procreate absolutley gorgeous women.

The exports in Canada are numerous in amount. One thing they export is corn, or as the Indians call it, maize. Another famous Indian was Crazy Horse. In conclusion, Canada is a land of contrast. Thank you.

*Sniff* And now my day isn't so bleak anymore...



Music hold the secret,
To know it can make you whole
It's not just a game of notes,
It's the sound inside your soul
The magic of the melody
Runs through you like a stream
The notes the play flow through your head
Like a dream
Like a dream
Like a dream

I sing this song for the common man
For the people in despair
I bring my song into the world
And I sing it everywhere
The simple truth lies waiting here
For everyone to share
So hold on, and I will take you there
Hold on and I will take you there

The daily routine takes your soul,
Lost without a trace
It hold you down and turns you 'round
And puts you in your place
Another day, another dollar
Another pretty face
Another chance to lose yourself
In the endless race

CHORUS

Hold on, hold on to your dreams
Hold on, even though it seems
Everyone around you has their little schemes
Listen to your heart and hold on to your dreams

Can't you feel the magic
Feel it everywhere
Can't you hear the music
There's something in the air
There's a celebration
Deep within a song
Celebrate this feeling,
You know it can't be wrong

CHORUS

Caught up in routine,
You got to break it
Time won't wait for us,
We got to make it
Fate gives you the chance
You've got to take it
Take it

Hold on

[David Bowie]

I went to Canada three 2.5 years ago. Was my first time at a bar. Tried all the fruity drinks, I think I had an 80$ tab. Got completly smashed. I remember taking my top of in a cage at some bar :lol. Then throwing up all over our hotel room....my friends got a new room for the next two nights and I had to pay by myself for it. So.....that was my experience.

[Jules]

I go to Canada rather regularly and love it! The people are so damn sweet and quite accomodating. When it comes to partying, I'm partial to the Distillery District & Greektown.
