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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdmMWqSf8gI It is brutally accurate, but it's funny. And you have the word of a Canadian 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 :)

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.

I'm with rico21. [8\|] I'm also tired of people injecting their politics into threads as much as I am tired of those who post political threads after we all were made aware of the guidelines here. [:-] RR

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.[:'(]

[:-] RR 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.

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.

I'm not a fan of Alberta for some reasons, but the scenery, oh the scenery. I've gone to Vancouver by train 3 times, which means going through Alberta by train 6 times in the process. Northern Ontario, more trees than anyone can handle. Manitoba, Northern Ontario lite. Saskatchewan, likely nice, but the train times it for the night because there's really nothing to see but grain :) Alberta though is beautiful. Rivals a lot of American vistas I'm sure, I have not had the pleasure to see them with my own eyes in person though. Lately, BC is on fire too much. I saw the Okanagan Valley in my youth. Not sure how much remains. I've wondered what Seattle is like. Probably a lot like Vancouver. But I was too young to recall it much. Preteens don't notice much of that sort of thing :)

Lobster -> RE: Understanding my country eh (2/10/2021 12:59:22 PM)
Seattle is Atlanta of the northwest. A traffic nightmare. I have a distinct distaste for big cities. I would no more go to LA than I would jump in a lake of molten lava. I've only seen pictures of Alberta and BC but those are the kinds of places I like to visit. The mountain ranges in North America are very picturesque.

Banff National Park is beautiful, much better than Glacier National Park. I understand that Jasper is even better.

One nice oddity about Alberta is that it is a rat and cockroach free zone. In fact it is the biggest populated land area free of such vermin. They actually have response teams on standby that are tasked with stamping out any outbreaks that occur. They have inspectors doing spot inspections along farms located on provincial borders as that is where rats typically gain their first foothold. And it's true, I never saw any cockroaches or rats anywhere. Instead, there were lots of urban rabbits. I speculate they fill the niche that rats would occupy in most cities. Was common to see rabbits loping along the sidewalks of heavily built up areas.

Lets get this thread back on topic of important matters. ----Rico21's picture is shameful. I approve 100%! Are they real or is that photoshop.

Not a great place to drive around, but a very great place to be a passenger in the car [;)] But if you want more diversity, there are a growing number of microbreweries too!
