PenutBrittle: Canadian newborns do. Politeness is in their blood.

Kezardin: And that politeness continues when they ask for their curling stone and broom ?
I was about to ask wtf a curling stone is, but as usual Wikipedia answered my question. Canadians are strange... :-P

Jk, of course. Can't hold a little... um, eccentricity... against the place that gave us Ginger Snaps, Decoys, and Rush. ;-)

hedwards: I heard that upon birth all Canadians are issued an Anne Murray album and a gallon of maple syrup.

PenutBrittle: This is absolute horrible stereotypical bullshit.




You can get a Rush album instead of Anne Murray if you ask politely.
In Quebec it's actually a Celine Dion album.

Canadians are terribly backwards. Americans starting using curling irons years ago, cuts down on the number of concussions.

Magnitus: Dude, I wish.

Even in the areas where they fish the things, it's not so cheap in season.

Got other funny ideas about Canada you'd like debunked while you're at it?

In English speaking Canada only.

In French speaking Canada, we get Gilles Vigneault, but I recently petitioned for Richard Desjardins (at the parent's choice).

They stopped giving maple syrup after a bunch of mothers killed their babies thinking it was a valid substitute for milk.

PS: I'm assuming that you were not seriously believing your statement. If you were, then, then the real serious answer is no. Just making sure.

Titanium: Satanism. Yes or only every other day?
Na, selling your soul to Satan in order to get laid or rich (or both) is more of an American thing. It helps when you actually strongly believe in the source material.

In French speaking Canada, we do misuse various holy words on an almost daily basis.

If it is, then they completely forget about it once they get involved into politics.
