Canada Eh!

Love those Canadians. My family took a long vacation in Canada when I was 14. We traveled from Windsor to the Gaspe Peninsula over the course of almost three weeks. The people were friendly, helpful and eager to show off their culture even in the smaller towns in Quebec where we had been told to expect a cool reception. In Wisconsin, forty years later, I had the opportunity to spend two intense weeks each year for a five year period with about 50 Canadians. Nothing changed. They were a diverse collection of smiling faces and very generous with their time and talents. Whether it was the "high-test" beer they smuggled into the country or the poutine they prepared, I always looked forward to seeing the old and new folks from the north.

Apparently, not all Canadians share the love when it comes to their southern neighbors. I can understand. So how do you interpret this hostility if you hold dual citizenship? For one answer. check out this hilarious post at Big Hollywood . When you stop laughing, go pay your respects with some poutine and a Molson's.
