Should I become Canadian

[Piobaire]

He's the second most. Very close. From the same neighborhood though.

I hate to tell you this but I don't think you have what it takes. Let's test this out by asking you a few questions.
1) What season runs from April-September?
2) How many Export As do you smoke in a day?
3) Is a plaid flannel shirt appropriate for evening wear?
4) What's the most famous Jewish Canadian author (you should really get this one)?
5) What does every PM in the modern era need to be able to do?
6) What's a "double double?"
7) Who was the greatest hockey player of all time if you were born in Quebec?
Let's start with those and see if you're even a real candidate.

Leonard Cohen is amazing. So is Glenn Gould.

All the jokes aside, there are worse things than being Canadian. All the Canadians I've met have been stand up folks that don't give two ***** about the politics of it all. If I had to be from Canada, I'd be from Alberta (because I'm Texan).

Well if that doesn't convince you, nothing will.

"An' den 'owe kem up de side real fas', dance by de defenderz, hed deek, an' slid de biskit fife-hole."

Let's see how I do:

1) construction
2) don't smoke
3) in Winnipeg, yes
4) someone from Toronto
5) fake it in French
6) I don't watch basketball.
7) The Rocket!

Not bad!

1) Bad Ice
2) Two packs (your answer is incomprehensible)
3) The answer is "In the ROC."
4) Someone from Montreal
5) Correct!
6) Large coffee at Horton's with two cream and two sugar
7) Correct!

So, 2/7

"Bad ice?" As in "can't go ice fishing?" (Around here, that's construction season, though nowadays construction is year-round, so I guess it should be "heavier construction season.")

don't feel so bad, I only know 1 out of 7

Then you are sentenced to watching rotations of Strange Brew and Degrasse Junior High untill your Canuk level reaches at least 8.5.

I think he needs "mainstreaming." Three seasons of Trailer Park Boys.
