Facts! Maybe.
I've been thinking of doing a "What You Might Not Know About Canada" segment. Or at least, "What I Didn't Know About Canada". For example, I didn't realize that Quebec-and French Canadians in general, really-are rather loathed by the majority of Canadians. Also! The milk-in-a-bag phenomenon is not wide-spread; I think it's only in one specific province (Ontario, maybe?). Furthermore, and regretably, I have seen no moose. Moose are not roaming the streets. There is a shocking lack of moose for house pets.
Oh, and all the speed limits are lower. Gas prices are higher (I think... they're done in liters, but I think Steven calculated an equivalent of $4.30 per gallon or something). Despite being otherwise "green" and planet-friendly, everyone drives these big-ass trucks. Their stop-lights are kinda different... They have these separate, upright traffic lights for the left turn lane, and the green arrow blinks when they have the right-of-way.
No one says "4th grade"; they say, "grade 4". And high school is done a bit differently-you don't necessarily have to complete 4 full years to graduate.
"Smarties" are called "rockets", and they have this m&m-like candy that they call "smarties".
"Pasta," "llama," and "drama" are all pronounced with short a's. So instead of "pah-stuh," it's "pa-stuh".
Okay, hopefully there was some stuff in there that you didn't know about Canada. It is my job to educate us self-absorbed Americans about our northward neighbor! Even if it does lack moose.
