 Socratoad says: More on site.. I've been listening to the nominations on the CBC radio program "Sounds Like Canada" and am pleased to see that this "short list" of 50 nominees for the Seven Wonders of Canada has been clipped. I'm dismayed to find that the beaver, maple syrup, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police did not make the cut, however. I'll vote for my favorite seven on the list after more deliberation. There are lots of audio and email nominations to hear and read to help me make my decision!  Seven eh? Right on eh. The seven wonders of Canada: 1) Having any national identity at all 2) More than two hundred years since a U.S. invasion 3) That the beer is considered good. 4) That the country is considered liberal by U.S. conservatives. 5) That more people live in California than Canada. 6) That they have a monarch as head of state. 7) That they still "like Americans, sometimes, well often. No really, sorry if I offended you. Oh pardon me really." National Motto: "We're not Americans/Nous ne sommes pas des Américains" LOL! Right on. Ya nailed it.  Thanks Socratoad for the confirmation. I love Canada! I was actually made an honorary Canadian in the only true way one can, in a bar. You are welcome kmcola. Now that you are a honorary Canadian you might wish to consider becoming a Canadian citizen. The requirements are that one masters the art of making love standing up in a floating canoe. with the partner of your choice, of course. Not with some nasty immigration officer. Socratoad, is that why the canoe is on the short list of nominees for the Seven Wonders of Canada? Is canoe an abbreviated version of "canookie"?  It is now! Does anyone feel that BC is being criminally under-represented? Here's my abstract emotional 7 Wonders List: 1. The Canadian love of The Tragically Hip 2. The Canadian dream of one day taking the Stanley Cup away from an American city that has no naturally occurring ice. 3. The fact that many Canadians know all 50 US states, while many Americans do not. 4. The Canadian ability to see themselves as having "won" the War of 1812 (While Britan and the US also claim to have won that war...) 5. The Canadian ability to unite Newfies and Qubecois in a single national identity... (well, sort of...) 6. The Canadian sense of dignity, maintained despite many condescending Canadian jokes told else... Yes it does seem rather strange that the province with arguably the most scenery in the nation seems to be woefully underrepresented. I like your list Austin. Number three on your list reminded me of when I was a young fighter pilot serving with NATO in Germany. More than once I won a beer or more from American army troops stationed there by betting them I could name more states than they could. And at the time more state capitals as well. Alas that was then, now both my memory and my then renowned instinctive reflexes have deteriorated to the point of embarrassment. Something to do with the winning of beer bets? Austin. I'm with you on your number 1 wonder. Yes indeed beer bets for large steins of excellent German beer. 3) That the beer is considered good.Have you tasted American beer? It's like water.. god, my niece couldn't get drunk off it & she's 3  You haven't had our fine micro-brews. But I'm not defending BudMilCoors. As the old joke goes, How are American Beer and having sex in a canoe similar? They are both f%^#ing close to water. What were the chances of two references to sex in a canoe with two different contexts in the same clip? Who knows. Hahaha, good one. Coincidence? Methinks not. This clip is controlling us ....... whoo whooo whooo And that is the eighth wonder of Canada!. |
