In Reply to: I love Canada posted by G Squared on March 29, 2017 at 11:48:17:
I have many fond memories of days in Canada, since I grew up living so close. We would go to the Crystal Beach amusement park at least once a year, and Niagara Falls more often than that. Getting over the border was as simple as answering, "Where were you born?".
A woman from Montreal sent me the following short essay. She said she read it on Quora.com in reply to the question: "What is the most Canadian thing a person can do?". She thought I'd find it amusing, and I did, so I figured I'd share it here. I think whoever wrote it included at least most of the stereotypes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A young man appears in the distance, wearing a flannel shirt.
He is riding a moose.
He has traveled far, but still has a long way to go before he reaches his destination.
In one hand, he holds a bottle of maple syrup. In the other, a hockey stick.
As he rides forth, his hockey stick accidentally brushes against a tree branch.
"Sorry!" he whispers to the tree.
"Sorry!" the tree replies.
Pretty soon, he comes to a river. As he tries to figure out a way to cross it, a young beaver trots over and taps him on the leg, motioning for him to follow. The beaver leads him to a dam, which our young hero can cross on.
He and his moose carefully cross the river, after thanking the beaver profusely.
Soon, he comes across a man ice fishing. After exchanging pleasantries (in French), the man gives him a Molson to quench his thirst. He drinks the beer and continues on his way.
He can see his destination now, just past the grove of maple trees.
He begins to hum O Canada as he crosses the street and parks his moose.
He has finally arrived at his glorious destination: Tim Horton's.
