I Thought Toronto Was In Maine

What are people saying?

   Welcome to Canuckland buddy!

   Just to correct you, there is virtually no French in Canada except for Quebec. The only reason you saw so much was because you went through Customs at the airport to get in. They have to have everything in both languages.

   The only other times you’ll see it is on money (please don’t be a loser like every other American who calls it Monopoly money just because it comes in a colour other than green) and on packaging of most products in the grocery store (although it is usually in smaller print hidden on the back/bottom).

   Other than that, welcome. I’m sure you’ll love it.

   And it’s pronounced “TORON-O”, not “TORONTO”

   Have fun at Mesh.

   Aren’t Canadians a bunch of drunks who drink to self-medicate their winter cabin fever? And don’t their winters last about ten months?;-)

   Actually, we in the U.S. need all those snow-bound sociopaths to balance out our own pathologies.

   And the Québécois nation will remind us that the European heritage of the early settlers of our two countries was not exclusively British.

   The Native American part of my genetic make-up wants to say, “…the European heritage of the early INVADERS…”

   The part of me descended from a French fur trapper protests.

   It’s confusing to be a mutt.

   Les femmes Quebecois sont la mieux raison pour preserver la langue francais…
