Explain Canada

I am prepared to offer you ONE MILLION AMERICAN DOLLARS if you'll leave Carrie Ann Moss and take Carrot Top and Sally Struthers.

How about we trade Tom Green for Carrot Top straight up?

So are Canadian geese referred to as just "geese" up there? How about the other kind of geese, for that matter?

Oh and to answer your question, yes, Canadians refer to Canadian geese as geese. But I don't know what they call them in Toronto.

Man! You Canadians drive a hard bargain!

Let me sleep on it. There's always a chance that something heavy will fall on Carrot Top tonight and make the decision for me.

Canada is like an unarmed America with health care.

Actually we have more guns per capita than the US. It's just that there are a lot fewer urban gun owners and a much smaller portion of our guns are handguns.

With respect to universities in Canada, only one has a reputation of any worth outside the country: the University of Toronto. In keeping with our slightly more socialistic social contract, you will find that university is cheaper for mediocre students than it is in the US and pricier for good students than in the US.


When coming up to visit colleges, avoid the area from Edmonton to Quebec City during the winter (except maybe the area along Lakes Erie and Ontario) during the winter if you can. The area from Calgary to Victoria and the three Maritime provinces aren't too bad in the winter.

I would not agree that only Toronto is respected, as there is a major university in the capital city of each province and many of them are quite respected.

As for avoiding Edmonton in the winter, what kind of Canadian are you? -30 C is the perfect weather in the winter. And if you are looking to work to help pay for College, their are a large number of well paying jobs in oil.

In Canada. Outside of Canada, McGill and U of T used to be know but McGill has really lost a lot of its international standing in the past 30 years. Nobody outside of Canada attaches any significance to these other places.

It's true -- Alberta is the best place for undergraduates to find jobs. No contest.

It's true, the rest of Canada bows down to superiority of those that hail in the centre of the world, otherwise known as Toronto. Just ask someone from there.

There's a lot of foreign students here at the University of Windsor.

I always figured that the Canadian "eh" was them pronouncing the period at the end of a sentance, sort of a verbalized "end of statement" cue.

Eh? It's the same as the American "huh" or "hey", sort of a 'what do you think?' tacked on to the end of the sentence.
