In reply to the discussion: I am Canadian [View all]tclambert
(11,085 posts)51. You talk like Canada is a foreign country. I've been to Canada. It's less foreign than Texas.
There are grown-up men in Texas, businessmen, who wear cowboy hats, cowboy boots, string ties, rodeo-size belt buckles, and have silver tips on their shirt collars, in other words, all dressed up like cowboys, yet they've never ridden a horse.
The most foreign thing about Canada is they have poutine rather than chili cheese fries.

Good folk here. I wish I could combine American entrepreneurism with Canadian culture.

I am Canadian, too. Even though I was born in NYC, due to a law passed in 1947...
