Only in Canada…

  • You can’t get your mail for three days because the mail­box out­side is frozen. Too bad, your first pay­check was in the mail…
  • You see peo­ple queu­ing out­side in the snow at 7:00 am for a cup of Tim Hor­tons coffee
  • You’re 50 cts. short for buy­ing a Coke because you thought taxes were included
  • You see peo­ple wear­ing shorts and tee-shirt when it’s “only” 5C.
  • You have to plug your car overnight to make sure it starts in the morning
  • You can treat your­self with the left­over dough of a dough­nut (yep, it’s called Tim­bits and peo­ple actu­ally like them)
  • You’re con­sid­ered as “flu­ent in French” if you can read most road signs and food prod­ucts’ boxes
  • There are kids play­ing hockey depicted on your ban­knote

Eh, this is Canada !

    La vie est comme un tri­cot que nous tri­co­tons une maille à la fois. Une maille est un jour. Une maille est une année. Je vous souhaite plein de mailles à l’endroit et de repren­dre les mailles à l’envers avec bon­heur.
    The life is as a knit­ting which we knit a mesh at the same time. A mesh is one day. A mesh is one year. I wish you full with meshs at the place and to take again the meshs with back with hap­pi­ness.
