Erin, do you enjoy maple syrup? what about poutine? do you believe in a distinct society?
Really, I don't get it either.
maybe he could tell that was poutine sticking to my thighs . . .
I was feeling a little weak in the GI today but had been manageing fine until I came here and was greeted by a picture of Celine Dion. Here, I had thought I would make it through the day without vomit. As for the rest of it.... "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?"
-The Candian Government has apologized for Bryan Adams on several occasions. Anyone know of a canadian band/musician called Sam Roberts or a Canadian M.C. called Buck 65?
Well,
Vive Montréal!
Vive le Québec!
Vive le Québec libre de profiter du biculturalisme canadien!
(why do I get the feeling that no one except Emile will appreciate that joke... *sigh*)
"Briser les solitudes", en effet... :)
yay buck 65 is from montreal sort of. and more than 50% of my blogring is canadian by birth, choice, or school. so i'm sure they all know who you're talking about whackly. the real question is ... do you poutine!?
i don't think i do. I confess, not being canadian, that I dunno what that is. I would google it but I think knowing what it is would ruin the fun of having no clue. I'm a Minnesotan. People from other states tell Minnesotans that we might as well be Canadians but, in truth, we just don't have the ambition.
