You do realize I’ll be pestering you about golf blogging again at the end of the his month for the “European Vacation” segment of the LPGA Tour, right? And the CANADIAN Open is right after that, btw. I’ll consider your not golf blogging the U.S. Open a sign of proper patriotism and good sense if you’ll bless us with your wit in a few weeks.
But you do realize an American won b/c you failed to blog. For shame.
And you do realize I don’t give a rat’s ass about golf, right? I don’t even care if the Canadians lose, I simply put it down to the fact that the Oilers didn’t make the golf playoffs, and besides, Pocklington traded The Great One to the Yanks. So it’s his fault.
The only thing I can really think of to say about golf is how much I’ve always wanted to sneak onto the course at dawn with a good horse and go for a gallop. Perfect turf, picturesque obstacles, and every hole has a great big flag in it.
Guess I better get my green card if I’m staying here then, eh?
YOU, my friend, are 100% Canadian! . . . .
Oh god. Now you’ve done it. There’s some crewcut Mormon in a van outside your house right now pulling his headset off and yelling “Let’s get ‘im!”
In that case, got an extra air mattress?
Also 100% Canadian, though I have never heard ‘about’ pronounced ‘aboot’ in my entire life (except by Scottish people).
No, but I can hit Canadian Tire when it opens.
And yes az, I think the author of that quiz is as tired of that bizarre prejudice as all Canucks are.
Um. There is something wrong with this quiz. It says I am a hundred percent Canadian.
I said that gun is for protection, I lock the doors, and that broken arm is going to be a thousand bucks — and those just cannot be Canadian type answers can they?
[ps: happy canada day belated]
Thanks!
max, you’re right. Obviously this quiz is simply too Canadian to tell anybody they answered wrong!
Damn you Canadians are polite.
Did you see the Michael Moore documentary where he was in Canada and to check whether doors were locked he would just try them and if they were unlocked, walk in? And people said, Oh hi. And chatted with him?
No, but it wouldn’t surprise me. My neighborhood is the worst in Canada: life expectancy in 1996 was 33 years, because of all the drugs and disease. And I only lock the door MOST of the time. On the other hand, it took two cops fifteen minutes to get through our gate out front, and that was just because someone let them in. So it’s pretty safe.
If you want to understand Canada, watch Canadian Bacon. Stephen Wright was born to be a Canadian, I tell ya.
Oh thank God that post didn’t come up! I can’t believe I said Can**k! I didn’t realize it was offensive! Wonder how it is that I’m 100% Canadian then?
Max is right – this quiz is totally off! Although I rarely lock my doors…
100% Canadian here. But I’m not surprised.
As for the aboot vs. about thing…Where does that come from? Like Az, I have never heard of any Canadian pronouncing it that way.
WC: I’ve heard it pronounced that way Back East (which is anywhere beyond Hope–Canuckistani joke). But some Maritimers speak with an accent sometimes confused with Irish or Scots. I suspect the perception originated there.
SG: I don’t think “Canuck” offends anyone, we just don’t often use it at one another :-)
Max: I feel that was one of Moore’s “interpretive” moments. While RC locks her door only when her mind clears sufficiently to remember it, I feel Moore had to shake a few knobs in Windsor before finding a wide-open door. Still, I admire his work in context, and RC is right. “Canadian Bacon” is an excellent movie. The scene when Dan Akroyd stops the garbage truck is worth the price of admission. Unrelated but still a great Can-con film is Phil the Alien, just in case you’re looking for something to use up the two-for-one coupon.
Metro: I lived in Windsor while Moore was filming and he could have walked into my house anytime during the day when I was home. I don’t know what it’s like there now, with its economy tanking, but in the 90s it was a relatively easy scene. Moore may have found the doors of empty houses locked, but security wasn’t much of an issue then there.
Even today I think Vancouver is an anomaly in Canada. The feeling in Vancouver is that everything unlocked to some bolted down structure will be carried off. So much in Vancouver is alarmed and barred that you could leave your door unlocked for a time. Either way if you live in Vancouver every couple months something you felt was yours will go missing.
In Windsor it wasn’t like that, things were stolen, sure, but every summer no matter where I was in my house the front door was wide open. Here in Vancouver I lock my front gate and my front door when I’m home. Canada’s a big country with many different cities. I’m sure in the States there are also communities where security isn’t much of an issue. Moore could have made the same point somewhere in the US, could have pulled the same stunt, the point would have been lost, just as in East Vancouver or West (Parkdale) Toronto, he’d have found locked doors, and not so friendly conversation through those unopened doors.
The real question is not “How Canadian are you? but “Does Canadian include you?”
I think the quiz is broken. I’ve never even been to Canadia.
YOU, my friend, are 100% Canadian! You are what Canadians are all about! (and that’s about. not a boot.) You, my friend, are AWESOME!

It’s not broken. It’s just too polite to tell you there’s something wrong with you.
Know what a Canadian riot is? 20 people wagging their fingers and clucking their tongues at you.
That’s a Canadian riot? How intimidating.
Repeat repeat
No, apparently it’s a kids’ soccer victory parade where the participants are brownish and the cops are rookieish.

Hey, thanks for the upper!
There must be something wrong with the quiz! I scored 100% and have never spent a day in Canada! Fun quiz, though.
This quiz might be good for tourism though – it makes me want to hop on a plane and go, go, go!
Well, what are you waiting for. The weather is fabulous!
I seriously think your neck of the woods will be the first place I visit. I’ll stay at a luxury hotel and bug you every day. I’ll even allow you to raid the mini bar even if it is way overpriced!
BTW, I tried to order you booze….shipping has been a bitch! I’ll keep searching…sigh.
Why don’t you put up a damn booze list?
I shall. And also why a hammer is so essential to a good cocktail. Don’t worry about the booze; it is just too damn hard to ship. Ship yourself instead, carrying a bottle of good American bourbon, and we’ll paint this town leopard print!
Things have been zoo-like around here lately, as I have a temporary roomie who is also net-intensive, and only one ethernet cord. Today he got his spare cord and we can both happily click away. And the plumbers are ALMOST finished.
Plumbing? What is wrong with your plumbing? Did you post this somewhere?
A temporary roomie? Rain, is this code for live in lover?
Do you live close to AJ? Not that it matters. Just curious.
Also if you ever want to visit DC I have a wonderful guest bedroom in a gorgeous but very overpriced apartment!!! No one ever uses it except for me and that is to type…brand new top of the line futon, a room with a view of the skyline…wireless internet too and a cabinet stocked with booze…only thing is…the litter box is located near the desk.
Leopard print, my favorite colors!
Oh, and THREE BLOCKS TO THE METRO!
Actually, I live about three thousand miles away from AJ. Roomie is the Cybergypsy, gay as the day is long.
Three blocks to the Skytrain here…and only a four-hour scenic drive to Metro!
If I ever start earning money, I will put travel on the top of my To Do list. As long as there’s plenty of booze, I won’t even notice the litterbox.
Plumbers. Less said the better. They’ve been in my apartment every damn day for six weeks now. And still not finished. And it’s only a fucking one-bedroom!
