Ok, the news is nothing but Covid, boooooring.
And we won't discuss the other news.
So here is 22 minutes (which is only a few minutes in this case) explaining Canada for anyone that is not actually living in Canada.

It is brutally accurate, but it's funny. And you have the word of a Canadian eh.

RE: Understanding my country eh
Come on guys, it's supposed to be a funny moment.
Those that can't appreciate good humour, well, you deserve to be miserable then
I offered the post in good faith, and I refuse to feel bad for offering it. Wreck it if you must, but the lock if it happens, is on YOUR head.
I will continue to be my cute funny self regardless.

Maybe I should stick to safe content. I suppose I could post a picture of me with a rifle and wearing a bikini in the Aussie Girls thread. After all, that's acceptable content here at Matrix

RE: Understanding my country eh
I am American but lived in Edmonton for several years.
What I remember most is the sunlight. It is softer and
gentler. It's like eating spicy food all your life
then suddenly switching to something bland. The
Canadian sunrises and sunsets unfold in slow motion.
All the food ingredient labels have a French section.
This awakened my childhood fascination with reading
ingredient labels. I would be eating cheap ramen
noodles but the "French" ingredients made it seem like
it was a Parisian delicacy. But, I never heard anyone
actually speaking French there.
I miss the Perogies, Donairs and Poutine.
Canadian women are very easy on the eyes.
For some reason, I remember seeing a lot of abandoned
shopping carts in odd places. Each one being
like a gravestone commemorateing the disintegration
of someone's life.

Perogies are just filled dumplings like pot stickers and raviolis. They should not be hard to make, just don't boil them too hard. You can make both regular meal type perogies or desert type perogies. They are ethnic Polish/Ukrainian peasant food.
Poutine, take frenched potatoes that then are fried, maybe fry them twice, put cheese turds on them then gravy.
Sarmas would go good with perogies.[:'(]

Yep, politics is annoying.
Humour is cool, but politics is annoying.
That's why I stick with humour.
I think my country is full of silly things to laugh at. And being from Quebec, this was entirely funny.

Didn't know the name, Googled him. Hmm, seems like an interesting person, well after only 5 seconds of Wiki reading.

RE: Understanding my country eh
I flew from Sydney to L.A. in 1999 and was a bit surprised that there was almost no tourist information or help. Finally I found an elderly couple sitting at a card table with a few brochures. They were volunteers and said that if they didn't do it, there'd be nothing.
I had a lot of fun there though, including being invited to a pool party with a bunch of porn chicks, which was interesting [;)]. In general, I got the impression that it's a very "sink or swim" kind of place. Compared to Australia, there's very little public infrastructure. If you don't have a car, you're condemned to the appalling public transport system. There are no public toilets. You have to go to a bookshop and pretend to browse for a while and then ask for a token. I know not all of the U.S. is like that and I was prepared for it.
I flew from there to Calgary. Even though I arrived at about 8pm, there was someone there to greet tourists, they organised accommodation and drove me there. Calgary was spotlessly clean and the people very friendly. I was most impressed by Canada.
