This is inevitable.
Montreal is the best city on the continent and Vancouver is the worst. In conclusion, Canada is a land of contrasts.

They completely renovated that food court recently. The water feature is gone and the floors are white and sparkly and crazy slippery. I think someone went a little overboard with the wax.

Then again, it does make the food court more closely resemble a Canadian's natural environment, the ice rink.

The rest of BC is just like the rest of Canada. Only the big city is the unique horrible snowflake. Or more like rain drop am i rite

Regionalism - the most Canadian thing.

i like the used fuel management railcar thing. i imagine it just goes back and forth carrying radioactive material

it does, you need to replace 8-12 fuel bundles a day or the reactor will become completely unreactive in about a month and a half regardless of how many control rods you pull out

unlike inferior american reactors candus are continuously refuelled without interrupting operation

How do Canadian people deal with all the jokes about Canada? They always seem to be good natured about it and take it in stride but I imagine deep down there is a seething rage just waiting to bubble over.

Funny people are a pretty important Canadian export so if someone wants to make jokes about us that's totally cool. If they're really ignorant about it we'll just try to correct it or not talk to that person anymore cause those things are both better than getting angry.

Totally different spin on wilderness here. Its not a frontier you tame, its an implacable foe that kills you by attrition.

I think Margret Atwood wrote an essay about this in the 80's.

This is definitely true, but also true of every solider I've ever talked to of every nationality.


Problem with Canada's army is that due to geography and relative population it can only ever function as an auxiliary force to the US (previously Britain). People want to be Batman, not Robin.

I went to a refinery near the oil sands in northern Alberta for work once. There was no nearby city, no hotels, no stores for miles and the "airport" was a plowed field next to a shack in the woods but there was a tim hortons in the refinery's lodge building.

Yeah and that's cool but bringing it up in conversation every time is really annoying. People from the other allied countries try to bullshit me but not every single loving time I talk to them.
