Maybe you could have God Save the Queen, the Maple-Leaf Forever and O Canada in French and then English play continuously in consecutive sequence in the background. if the whole background were red and the pages white, that would make for a neat Canadian flag design. Maybe put the union jack in one corner somewhere with maple leafs dangling arond it on a red background. And also have the anthems mentioned above scroll along with the music along the bottom of the screen.
Sorry, I jsut had to have some fun here.

What does Canadian look like? Alternating red-and-blue letters may get you into patent infringement stuff.

I could comment but then the thread would become political from here on in so I won't.

There are too many foreigners on here that just don't understand how tolerant and accepting we are. I think they should be banned.

Agreed! Proof of citizenship should be required for all members to participate.

I don't see any beer or joints so it definitely isn't Canadian enough. The exclusion of a portrait of our national animal is the stunning proof of that claim.

andem i know your the moderator and stuff and you need peoples feedback to run the site in a positive way... But if someone says this site is too conservative then that should set of alarm bells saying that fool is a retard
what matters is that canadians make up the majority of the population here

Its the healthy size of Canadian members that we have that makes this site "Canadian enough". Don't change anything.

First we should not kick out the foreigners because they don't understand how tolerant we are.
We can educate them as best we can to be more tolerant.
The idea it is too conservative is not correct either, I read all kinds of stuff that is silly right wing
nonsense, only to be outdone at times by verses and visions of the loony left. If nothing else
some is needed for comic relief. There are times when some wonder about some of my posts,
what the hell is trying to say?
We are a dysfunctional family on here, and there is a lot of room for different opinions, how long
do you think this would last if we were all left or right or even at times reasonable?
The other question is how the hell could you make a Canadian Board with international members
more Canadian? Leave it alone. eh.
That's it, everyone has to end every thought with the word eh if they are Canadian that way we
will know if it a Canadian thought as opposed to a foreign thought. That can't be too difficult eh?

Yeah but imagine having to type in 'eh' at the end of every sentence 'eh'. How about an automatic program tht replaces all full stops and question marks with 'eh' eh?

So, is it maybe the name of the site that's throwing people off as to whether it's Canadian or not? Lol.
Personally, I like the colour scheme. I find it serene, I've never been a fan of a busy background as I find it can be distracting.
I'll second Alleywayzalwayz suggestion about maybe adding a few different Canadian "themes" for individual setting preferences. Perhaps asking the members to submit suggestions for what those themes might be?
My two cents, for what it's worth.

Maybe we should lobby government to ensure that eh is an official punctuation at the
end of every sentence that way the computers and other devices will automatically do
it for us eh?
