Definitely count me in.

Switch · June 26, 2002, 01:34

I think we should petition for a maple leaf smiley, like in

Wojit · June 26, 2002, 02:15

I would be Canadian, were I born in Canada instead of Australia.

punkbass2000 · June 26, 2002, 10:18

I'm Canadian.

JSeeds · June 26, 2002, 10:33

Count me in!

Jon Shafer · June 26, 2002, 10:38

I'm not Canadian but you can count me in anyways 'cause I'm bored.

Ninot · June 26, 2002, 23:29

Allright, lets say we organize a hockey game.. but we don't have any lakes. Ok, hows about some lacrosse?

woo to the Canucks!

P.S.: im listing honorary canadians too now, lol.

Jon Shafer · June 27, 2002, 00:01

Viva l'Canada!

I've played a lot of LaCrosse, I'll be center attack.

Duddha · June 27, 2002, 00:04

My relatives are Canadian?

Switch · June 27, 2002, 00:06

I guess I could be the band

.

BTW, Trip, it's Vive le Canada, I believe. viva I think is Spanish, as opposed to vive, and you only apostrophe le/la when the next word begins with a vowel.

Ninot · June 27, 2002, 00:07

so you wanna be a Canadian or honorary, or neither?

i suppose ill list ya as honorary.

Ninot · June 27, 2002, 00:10

lol.. its either Vive le Canada... or Go Canada!

it is a bilingual country after all.

Theseus · June 27, 2002, 00:41

Vive LaCrosse!!

Crease D, c'est moi!!

Theseus · June 27, 2002, 00:43

Le Ballet Windsor, c'est pour moi!!

(honorary... obviously)

Switch · June 27, 2002, 00:53

I just had to include this:

O Canada! Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide, O Canada,
we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Ninot · June 27, 2002, 01:01

woo! i had to take off my hat and stand up for that post.

Switch · June 27, 2002, 01:08

I think as members of this club we should each include in our signature this code (with {}s replaced with []s, or course):
{b}{color=red}I AM.{/color}{color=blue}C{/color}{color=red}A{/color}{color=blue}N{/color}{color=red}A{/color}{color=blue}D{/color}{color=red}I{/color}{color=blue}A{/color}{color=red}N{/color}{/b}

the end result being, of course, I AM.CANADIAN

BTW, does it need all of those {/color}s?

Ninot · June 27, 2002, 01:44

Woo! thanks for the sig!

FrostyBoy · June 27, 2002, 02:50

A boot

JSeeds · June 27, 2002, 09:47

booya, thanks for the sig switch!

OPD · June 27, 2002, 10:15

I can spell Canada and once watched an episode of due south can I be an honourary Canadian.

Ninot · June 27, 2002, 10:55

Were Canadians, do ya expect us to be able to say no?

OPD · June 27, 2002, 11:00

Some one once told me that after the American civil war (not independance war) Britain paid the US an excessive amount of money to stop then conquering canada. Is this true? If so how much did Britain pay for Canada and all that maple syrup?

Ninot · June 27, 2002, 11:02

I haven't heard that story.

In history class, I was taught that after the US civil war, Canada was in a frenzy to make itself a propper country (instead of colonies of britain) specifically to ward off the threat of a US invasion. Thats all I was ever taught on the issue.

iain · June 27, 2002, 14:13

i`m not canadian ( i`m british ) however i have a great deal of respect and in a way pity for you, living that close to america. I personally would have moved a long time ago, my thoughts are always with you, iain.

note to any irate yanks: tongue firmly in cheek

Jon Shafer · June 27, 2002, 14:20

It is just me, or do we have as many Honorary Canadians as we do real Canadians?

Ninot · June 27, 2002, 15:46

Everyone wants to be Canadian, what can I say?

i consider myself a civil war buff, but ive never heard this.

i know that britain had an army in canada during the civil war that was ready to invade the US. england was on the confederate side for the cotton, but they never actually fired a shot.
