[quote name='MissScripture' post='1257589' date='Apr 27 2007, 12:24 AM']So, we walk into theology one day, and the teacher looks at us all and asks, "So, Canuk referrs to French Canadians, right?" And we all nodded, and he said, "So, what are non-French Canadians called?" And we all stare at him, waiting for some sort of punchline. And then he said, "No, seriously...I'm asking you! What are they called? I don't know!" We're all like [/quote]

How come Canada has the maple leaf, anyway? The Aussies still have the Union Jack.

I'll give you three guesses on how many skeletons we have that belongs to the US?

[Didacus]

[quote name='Jesus_lol' post='1259960' date='Apr 29 2007, 08:42 PM']well, canadians say "eh?" while the closest american equivalent is "huh?". decidely not as cool.
and when americans(that means you!) try to sound canadian, instead of sounding like "A", it gets more nasally and like "AYE" as in pirates.
at least if canada and the usa ever are at war well will easily be able to tell the american spies.
border guards: "how do we know you are canadians, eh?"
spy: "well, im coming back home to stock up on fur hats and canadian bacon, AYE!"
*machine gun fire*
and then a dying gasp... "Huh?!"[/quote]

Should we tell them about the americans who tried to feed smarties to a bear?

[quote name='XIX' post='1261043' date='Apr 30 2007, 06:43 PM']Canadians have good taste in sports, eh?

Hockey, hockey, curling, and hockey.


HOCKEY!!!!! [/quote]

lacrosse was our national sport before hockey.

Now hockey is our 'winter national sport' while 'lacrosse' has been downgraded to 'summer national sport'.

As a matter of fact I do know Mr. So-&-so from Alberta. He's sick and tired of getting crank calls.

Is there anyone left in Manitoba?

Truth and no BS;

When it was the time to choose the flag, several options depicted the Union Jack on the flag, however, this caused a serious outcry from Quebec (who of course wanted the 'fleur de Lis'). This made for irreconcialable differences between the only two groups in Canada at the time and the only way to resolve this was to have neither (neither the Union Jack nor the Fleur de Lis) and thus the Maples leaf was chosen as a neutral option.

Typical letters sent to the canadien government of the time were at least at one time on display at the museum of civilisation in Ottawa.
