That is adorable, guv. Except it's spelled "neighboUr" where I'm from. It's British spelling. Because it makes us sound classier. And smarter.

i give up on all this tolerance and cultural understanding. here's how it is: the 47 other continental states in the USA are California's luggage. Canada is America's hat. Quebec is Canada's Canada. i think that's fair.

tsk tsk... Ohio and Michigan are both part of the industrial Mid-west. Michigan straddles Ohio and Indiana. The capital of Ohio is Columbus, whereas the capital of Michigan is Lansing (not Detroit, as many Americans will say). Michigan is the only state that touches most of the Great Lakes. And Michigan is the only state that has two non-contiguous non island parts, the Upper and Lower Peninsulas...

Oh, and Vancouver is in British Columbia, (whose capital is Victoria, I think) and is hosting the Winter Olympics in 2010...

Cheater.

Dude, now I might get stalkers. Maybe I shouldn't have said that... but I don't live in Columbus exactly. Just nearish.

I am absolutely ashamed that I didn't remember the hockey city. Well, I guess it's dillusional to associate it with hockey. You guys score a goal, what, once every 3 games? And it's optimistic to call it a city, because cows and cornfields, a city don't make.

Thanks for screwing up the formatting, Som. Let's get to page 3 and start over again!

Oh no you didn't biyotch. You did not call the Columbus area a cowtown. We're anything but.

You deserve crappy formatting just for that.

And hockey sucks, who cares if we lose? It's all about football.

Pookie.

Look at it this way. Ohio brought us Drew and Nick Lachey.

Michigan brought us Madonna, Eminem and drive-by shootings.

Who wins?

Thank you, and good night.

Better than Canada, which brought us you.

Ohio is the home of more US presidents than any other states, the Wright Brothers, Eddie Rickenbacker and other people who matter more than Madonna.

Did you just sneeze in the middle of that? Who??

Okay, but Canada brought you guys Mike Myers, Jim Carrey, Dan Ackroyd, Eugene Levy, Michael J Fox, Brendan Fraser, Shania Twain, and many others.

We also gave you Celine Dion.
And for that, I am sorry.

Yay, a thread somewhat about Canadians! We've been acknowledged!

I spent the summer of 2003 in Quebec, and my pet project was to find the World's Best Poutine. I combed the province looking for the best poutine in the world, trying out dozens of different concoctions and ways of preparing it.

And my quest let me to the little town of Tadoussac, by the mouth of the St. Lawrence river, where you can see whales. Go to a tiny restaurant called Chez Claude; they have the best poutine in the world.

The second-best poutine in the world (and that can be found throughout Canada) is still New York Fries, which ironically is a Canadian company based in Belleville, Ontario (there are no "New York Fries" restaurants in New York). It's because they use a mozerella (sp?) blend instead of just cheese curd, and their fries are hands-down the best on the planet.

Glad to see T.O. representin', BlueWizard!

How much poutine did you have to eat to find the best one?
I drove to northeastern Quebec via Labrador, and there was nothing there!
Were you crying with laughter at the caribou/poutine thing?

Est-ce que tu parles francais?
