I know in the wake of these other monstrosities that I'm nitpicking, but I see a while maple leaf and I don't think of Canada; I think of a white maple leaf. I see a RED maple leaf and I think, Canada. You see white stars on a blue background, you think U.S/50 states/America. You see red stars on a blue background and you think... something else. The red maple is what makes the flag distinctive. You take away the distinctive-ness and have, well, no distinction. Just my opinion.DeeNadjnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-4670808236840426182009-12-06T01:31:11.944-05:002009-12-06T01:31:11.944-05:00I loved it.

Canada, and Quebecois. Quebec seceded from Canada some years back. <br /><br />Yet oddly enough, Canada still has to learn French as a secondary language. The primary language is still English, and some people nicely pronounce it in a British manner. Probably to honour their Queen. She's always honoured on their money, which is a nice change from seeing various Presidents on money. Probably my favourite American coin is the Sacaweja (I know, I can't spell this right) dollar.<br /><br />My favourite Canadian coin is the "Toonie", which is a $2 coin. It has a copper middle with the rest being silver and its quite a large coin.<br /><br />I prefer M&M's over Smarties, since M&M's taste better than Smarties does.Sr. Mina, BSPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12390851325571815108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-19149476977622380712009-07-07T12:30:28.523-04:002009-07-07T12:30:28.523-04:00This is hilarious.

Living in that area was more steeped in flannel and "ehs" than any place I've lived in Canada could hope to be. Being in Southern Ontario now, this post has more "eh" in it than I will hear for the next several years.
