what is the capital of canada?

I know the interesting things, lol. The boring stuff I tend to tune out though.

You're more knowlegable than you think. You have to spend some time in the US to see how.

Canadians are accustomed to getting both Canadian and American news, but if you cross the border, even just into the northern border states, Canada basically vanishes except for being a mythical place where weather comes from.

The Canada-US border is like a two-way mirror. Canadians see south, but when Americans look north, all they see is themselves.

Not really surprised. I don't think that Canada ranks very high in their school curriculum( not a bash at the US, either).

This a golden opportunity for tourism.

I've heard Americans complain that when they went to Canada they were hoping to get a "foriegn nation" experience, but all they could see was the same houses, cars and cloths they use.

Give them what they want. Tell them Iqaluit is Capital (i.e., leave out the "a", so you're not lying per se... just making a grammar mistake), and create lots of jobs for Inuit building Igloo hotels, with seal on the menu, and with snow-sled taxis as the mode of transportation.

Americans will pay a fortune for "authentic" foriegn experiences like that.

Maybe but will they pay in a safe currency?

Maybe tell them they can trade with guns and ammunition... you know... two nights in the Igloo hotel for a .306, a dog-sled taxi ride for a box of ammo (just don't remind them that Canada does a brisk trade selling them gunpowder).

But even if Canadians did accept weapons and ammunition in trade, what would Canadians do with it? It's only the long-guns that are useful, and Canadians already own more per-capita of those than Americans.

The only thing Americans have more of is handguns, which are fun if you replace the bullets with paintballs, but otherwise...

Hmm... you know, that's kind'a disturbing. Think about it. US currency is being artificially propped up, therefore people are still accepting it, but seriously... if people were to stop accepting US currency from Americans, what *would* Americans have to trade?

Wrong. Toronto is the center of the universe. Just ask anyone that lives there.

Toronto is the centre of the universe but it is only Western Canadians that think of it that way.

That is the perfect description of the situation...............
