February 11th Chicago Tribune "A tip of the toque--that's 'took'--to all things Canadian' by Chris McNamara.
Because of the Winter Olympics opening in Vancouver, Canada. That would be British Columbia. They close February 28th.
BE POLITE, EH?-- They are famous for their courteous nature. "They're like us, only politer." Patricia A. O'Brien, founder of Manners, Please.
IT'S ALL ABOOT THE LANGUAGE-- The differences between Canadian and American dialects are minuscule. that is why minor variances, such as the word "about" are blown out of proportion. "Aboot" is actually pronounced more like a-boat." "Leisure is pronumnced more like "pleasure." Of course, you may have to ad the word "eh" at the end of a sentence.
MOOSE CALL-- Be careful with these as you might lure more Canadian hunters than moose. These produce the guttural moans of a cow in estrus and excites both male moose and male hunters. What is the plural of moose anyway?
NTN Buzztime-- I always feel sorry for our Canadian NTN players who get stuck with so many American questions. I know we really hate it when we get one of those no-one-but-a-Canadian-would-know questions. Plus, they have (or had) the infamous DaveTV, or FOCUSA as he sometimes signed on.
More Canadian Stuff on the Way. --DaCanadianCoot
