[QUOTE="Wik, post: 4996750, member: 40177"] Yeah, well. From personal experience, when Canadians reach a level of popularity even approaching that of a rock star, they tend to flub it up. I mean, look at Nickleback. Those guys think they're U2. Hell, I once saw the frontman from Big Sugar (Gordie Johnson?) and he had the biggest ego I've ever seen... which is ironic, considering how even most [i]Canadians[/i] have never heard of his band, let alone people outside of the country. The point of it is, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that "canadian sensibilities" actually means "the second you think you can get away with it, you start showing off your suppressed Canadian ego". And Elminster took a cue from all that. (But then, I'm from B.C., and we also talk about exactly what's in Elminster's pipe, so feel free to ignore me!) [/QUOTE]
