I left the country… for the States… then I got home before their Independence Day… whew!… got around those two days…

Comment on United North America: Part 1. by Sun Warrior

Part of the ‘non-American-ness’ is the rejection of the American myth about their terrorist rebellion against peace, order and good government.

It was a civil war, dividing the colonies in half. Imagine, at least the Muslims get upset about something important, oil. The rebels took up arms over a friggin’ ‘tea tax!’ Does anyone want to live with people who go to war over a single tea tax!

“THE WAR OF THE BEVERAGE!”

Yes, Canadians are not Americans. Canadians have a sense of balance. Americans have been flipping out ever since, instead of evolving out of colony-status like Canada did.

It is too bad Americans can’t compare themselves to us, or anyone else. Americans refuse to be un-armed. Americans refuse to provide basic healthcare to human beings. Americans are extremists. Americans don’t know their place in the world. Should I go on?

So Canada is relief from being extremist. AaAAAHHH! Feels good… what a relief… at least we are aware of our environs as part of the whole planet, not the center of it.

Wow. You got me writing something positive about my country!

I don’t think of myself as non-American. I just look upon the Canadian character as sensible. And when America does get my attention, something underneath just goes ’something went terribly wrong there…’

Do you define yourself as ‘non-neurotic?’

Thank you, thank you.

It was very difficult to put together, to choose just ten provinces. I’m glad I persevered.

Comment on Canadian Nature: Ogopogo Wants Your Flesh by C. Fraser

Ogopogos is also known for his ’stomach of steel”. I”m sure he wouldn’t pass up a tasty postal worker either. He’s a generalist.

I’m afraid for this Ogopogo, your average wal-mart employee would be bad for its digestion. I say he should stick to strict postal worker diet.

Canada Day is a big celebration here. Most people tend to head to their cottages to party-down there. I have a tendency to avoid large crowds, though, much to my own detriment at times.

Happy upcoming 4th.

In America, holidays tend to get much more attention if somehow associated with drinking. I’ll try and drum up some Canadian whiskey tonight.

Comment on Canadian Salty: Ketchup Chips by C. Fraser

You should be able to buy ketchup chips from any grocery or variety store in Canada. I imagine there are some places in the U.S that sell them, but I never came across any. As for the rest of the world, I’m not sure if they have ketchup chips or not.
