THIS THREAD IS AMAZING. <3 Thanks for mentioning me!

I had funnel cake when I was in florida. Beavertails are totally different. :/ They're like thick friend pancakes with lots of cinnamon and brown sugar.

As for the prime minister question, it's the first time we've had a conservative in 15 years, give or take, and he's made some unorthodox moves, like making his sessions closed, etc. But I won't go into that.

And KD is LIFE!

Yay for posting Air Farce clips! A canadian show about canada. :stick_out_tongue:

Faylo, I find it interesting how you wrote the anthem in both languages at once. I was taught both the english and the french versions seperately as a kid. I still know them both by heart out loud, but I don't think I could spell the french version to type it up.

Snowthers, you talked about famous canadians? There are tons of famous canadian musicians. :smile:

Well, I was told that beavertails were similar to funnel cake only in the shape of a beavertail.

I especially like the "Canadian Moment" sketches because it's like exactly the way American TV stereotypes Canadians! It's funny, there was one with Kathy Greenwood and she was wearing this black wig, and I sweared it made her look a lot like when Elizabeth Montgomery would wear that black wig to play Serena on Bewitched.

No worries. It's close enough. :wink:

When I was in Florida I asked alot of stupid questions about stuff that is probably obvious to you. Example, "What is sweet tea?" :embarrassed: Where I'm from, 'iced tea' is always sweet. "Sweet tea" is what I call "iced tea", sweeted cold tea (with lemon or sugar, etc.). The "iced tea" I got in the states is exactly what it sounds like: cold tea. ><

Edit: The Canadian Moment sketches are one of my faves too. I love replying "Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah" to people in that hokey accent whenever a good opportunity arises. :big_grin:

Where I come from, there are only two kinds of tea: "sweetened tea", and "unsweetened tea", and both of them are iced; no one drinks "hot tea" anymore.

I've been going to french-immersion schools most of my life, so we learned the bilingual version of the anthem. :smile: I do know both of them seperately though.
