That's possible, I do live in one of the worst cities here. Perhaps the others make up for this shithole. I hear San Francisco is great.

America is weird even from a Canadian perspective.

We are on the other side of an imaginary line on a map, but when we cross that line in to patriot land things get weird almost immediately.

Everyone is wearing jackets when it is shorts & t-shirt weather, there seems to be emergency vehicles on the side of the road constantly, there are American flags and images of bald eagles every goddamn place you can imagine but less actual bald eagles kicking around than back home. When they find out you are Canadian they act like they just met a unicorn that farts lucky charms, even though you only drive an hour or two to get to them. Trying to pay for anything with Canadian currency is met with blank stares and comments like "Is this real? I don't think I can accept this.". You get impatient stares when you have to actually read the numbers on the bills to make sure you hand out the right amount. Some of them don't even know Canada is next door, one thought we were across the ocean.

 

It is almost like America is this special little island in its own mind that pays little attention to even the country that lives upstairs because why bother with places that aren't America. It is actually sort of adorable in a sort of sad way.


It is perfectly acceptable to fear and admire a being you could not possibly understand.

They hate us cuz they ain't us.

I wouldn't know much about the northern states, seeing as the furtherest I've been up that way was South Dakota, but down in the south we get plenty of neighbors from further south and they fit in fine. Maybe if a chain of Canadia resturants would become as popular as Taco Bell we would be more accepting. Actually, that's a cool idea. Make the mascot a little bear in a mounty uniform, chewing on a maple log. Adorable.

 

The few Canadians I've met down here seemed pretty normal, if not a little worried about the lack of maple syrup in the grocery stores.

 

And... are Canadian loonies real money? I have a passion for removing all strange coins from circulation and hording them like a dragon, and have aquired quite a few with leaves and pics of some queen on them. Never thought about using them. Wouldn't want to, either way. Pennies and dimes are cool enough, but loonies and gold/silver hybrid loonies are pretty badass.

I can tell this tacky shit ain't in Georgia  from the lack of rebel flags. Did you know goverment offices close for confederate's day down here? I need a goverment job. They take off work for anything.

If I go anywhere except a country that shares a border with Switzerland, I get asked "where are you from again? Sweden? I always thought everyone has blond hair and blue eyes there.."  :<_<:

I like having coins from different countries as well.. Although it's not much fun in Europe any more with the Euro and all that.. But just so everyone knows, Switzerland still has it's own currency, we are also not part of the EU (I'm not sure how to feel about that though)

Maple syrup is the first thing we check for when we are in a new place.

Our loonies are definitely real, and the gold coin idea makes it easier for us to save our money.

Everyone wants to horde gold coins.

Stay out of it, Mom! You always take Canada's side. This is just like that lumber embargo back in 1914 all over again!

Actually just meant spendable, not questioning their existence. If I were to try and spend any of my horde at the local pizza place, I wouldn't be taking home bread sticks. Not just Canadian, coins from anywhere. Even US currency gets doubted sometimes around here. Two dollar bills and Kennedy coins look foreign to idiots.
