OK though, here's a question to other Canadians, or anyone else who might have some insight: Why is it that most Celine Dion fans are NOT Canadian?

I have no facts to back up this statement, it's just an observation[/quote]

Well, I don't like her for this reason, Before she broke into the American market she won an award for an English language cd (she got her start singing in French) on some Quebec award show (called The Felix awards?). Anyway, she renounced her status as a Canadian on national TV and said "I am Quebecoise, not Canadienne,") She had won the award for Best Canadian or Foreign Album. That pissed off a lot of Canadians.

I'm just wondering if you use the metric system with beer? For example, a 12 pack in the U.S. would be 30 metric beers in Canada.

Hanson, not so.

A tuque (Canadian French: tuque, also spelled toque in English) is a knitted hat, originally usually of wool though now often of synthetic fibers, that is designed to provide warmth in winter. All tuques are tapered and brimless, and they are often topped with a pompon. The tuque is usually considered Canada's or Quebec's national winter hat, much like the Russian fur hat.

Canadian variant: In Canada, a toque or tuque (IPA /tuk/) is a knit winter hat, originally a French-Canadian woolen hat. This "fashion" originated when coureurs des bois kept their woollen nightcaps on for warmth during cold winter days. The Canadian Oxford Dictionary regards the use of toque for this hat to be assimilated from the etymologically unrelated French word tuque.

No one knows for sure (well, O'Connor's staff probably know), but it's highly unlikely they'll stay at Dwyer Hill very much longer. Now that the election is over it's more likely than ever that they'll go to Petawawa.

Despite Combat Deaths, Canada "Not at War" in Kandahar: Defence Minister
Tue May 30, 06:37 PM EST
By Jim Bronskill

OTTAWA (CP) - Canada is not at war in Afghanistan, says Defence Minister Gordon O'Connor.

Fighting violent insurgents is just one task among many for Canadian soldiers trying to bring stability to the troubled country, O'Connor told a Commons committee Tuesday.

"The military has to conduct a range of activities," he said under questioning from MPs.

"I don't consider this war."

Since 2002, 16 Canadian soldiers and one diplomat have been killed in Afghanistan.

Which of the following is most embarrassing to a Canadian:

1) The I Am Canadian Molson commercial -- proudly displaying a desperate insecurity and childish plea for recognition -- becoming a national phenomenon.

2) Seeing so many Maple Leafs on backpacks.

3) The Canada Kicks Ass website.

4) The fact that Canadians found Rick Mercer's Talking to Americans funny because it supposedly exposed American "ignorance," despite the fact that it was actually a sadly embarrassing commentary about how irrelevant and unimportant Canada is to Americans.

5) Barenaked Ladies/Tragically Hip

6) All of the above

Thanks for your help citizens of Canadia!
