Canadian Stereotypes

[Cliffy]

That's OK because most BCers think Alberia is inhabited by Texans who can't drive on curved roads.

Whether I go up to Alberta, they often seem to think everyone in British Columbia is Chinese, I don't know whether to cry because that's ignorance or if its true from the perspective of Albertan tourists who probably hang out in Vancouver and go nowhere else in the province.


In British Columbian Stereotypes, which are more or less the same throughout the Pacific North West, we're mainly of tall lumberjack fishermen known for good beer (Portland / Okaganon) and I guess throw in a few hippie streotypes for our cities..

Last time I went to Hongcover I thought that somehow I had done a rip van winkle and wound up in asia. And I grw up on the coast.

Texans in the south and Newfies in the north.

It is but then the weather become unbearable unless you're accustomed to it.


I know I am used to 4C and extreme humidity but most Americans would have a heart attack in those conditions.

People that think they are all Chinese in BC don't realize David Suzuki and Ian Hanomansing live there so at least two people aren't Chinese.

Isn't Ian Hanomansing from New Brunswick?

 

[Serryah]

Ian Hanomansing is from New Brunswick; he's actually from my home town of Sackville. I actually had his father for my seventh and eighth grade English teacher. Nice people.

 

[Cannuck]

Isn't Ian Hanomansing from New Brunswick?

Could be...but I'm pretty sure he lives in Vancouver.

Canadians are nicer than Americans and more fun than the British.

That's debatable. Canadians have a reputation for being rather dull. They are like North American Scandinavians, even down to the icy landscapes and weather.

This from the guy who has no sense of humour and thinks cricket is a smashing good sport, who lives for the off chance that one day he may get to meet a royal, and is probably up to his nickers in water on his water logged island. Too funny!

Gawd! A free doughnut is not worth having to drink even one cup of that swill.

It's the only coffee I drink. I suppose I could get used to others, and I have tried others but they don't seem to do it for me.


And BlackLeaf has a point.........

I seldom drink it. I am too cheap, I take my coffee to work in a plastic mug. Now that I have a Keurig it's a perfect cup every time. However, roll up the rim means buying timmies ...I don't buy it every day but if someone at work does a coffee run then yup, I'm in.

Pfffffffffffft no he doesn't , That is a picture of heaven for Skidoo enthusiasts !

Have you tried Kicking Horse roasted in Golden, BC or Oso Negro roasted in Nelson, BC.

And BlackLeaf has a point.........

Yes. On the top of his head. Nothing like that where I am.
