| I'm always happy when somebody gives me a chunk of moose.. |
 and we used to say: give moose to your enemies, deer to your friends and rabbit to no one  nobody i knew hunted bear for meat, but there were SO MANY of them that even though they are harmless usually they sometimes are a threat and are killed simply for being in the way (black bears mind you, i've seen hundreds if not thousands, as plentiful as bald eagles and salmon in b.c.). i agree that hunting bears for sport isn't good  the ethic of the hunters that my family has known is to not waste what you kill, and that means to hunt for the fur alone is a scuzzy, bad rep thing to do, way uncool.
one thing i dislike (dislike, dislike) is slitting the throat, bleeding out and defeathering birds of all sorts - ugh - the smell, the mess... if the meat didn't taste so darn good I wouldn't be able to eat it (like I am with clams i've caught) |

I guess I'm a suburbanite at the root, but I was always pretty grateful when my enemies gave me moose...
Bush chicken, though--now you're talking! |

Trail BC girl here!
I miss: clean fresh air. The smell of snow. Silence. The Coquihalla. Fireplaces. Multicultural diversity (and respect for it). Denny's.
I still have this: Knowing that I'm from the most naturally wondrous, untouched place on the globe. |

I'm not Canadian and I've never been there.
That said, I want to thank you for your:
delicious maple syrup
Kokanee (for when you can't afford to go to the bar, but do anyway)
Canadian bacon
All my favorite bands. In particular, thanks for making this dude who is in 3 of my top 5 bands:

We may tease you and call you "America's hat," but without you, we would look bald and that would be awkward and sad. |

| I don't know why - I like the fact you see the British crown and the queens head on all your money and government buildings, the fact it was technically under British legal rule up until 1982 and of Montreal - one of the greatest (if not the greatest) city in the Americas. |

| Winter on the playground. All the different grades got their own snow hill which would be tunneled through and fortified all winter, with plenty of renovations as snowplows would keep adding more snow. We'd have wars against grades and defend our snow forts. One kid got stuck in a snow tunnel and we noticed he was gone 15 minutes into class. |

That right there almost makes me wish I were Canadian. We don't get nearly that much of the white and fluffy on my side of the border  |

Yeah, the mornings after the snowplows came by were always the best ones of the winter - so much fort potential! Especially when friends lived on cul-de-sacs with a big snow circle right in the middle. Dangerous, and so great.
That also reminds me of how great it was to discover animal footprints on the walkway/driveway after a big snowfall - I lived in the suburbs so there weren't any deer or foxes, but even cat & bird prints were pretty delightful. |
