Canada is cold,

Do Eskimos have armpits?
I think not.

Cnd aaa = three consonants and three vowels...
four different letters.

Oh Canada to me you are a place
Where Policemen wear red
And women wear lace.

Oh Canada, hot and cold
Where people start life young
And gradually get old.

Oh Canada, if you had no snow
The deserts would be hotter and the
Skiers would have nowhere to go.

Oh Canada, a name with three vowels
In any three Canadians, I guess
There are three bowels.

[Richard Prowse]

Deep down, there's a little bit of Canadian in all of us.
Especially those of us who choose to wear red.

[Richard Prowse]

Does the Canadian flag really show a maple leaf?
Or, is it really a small symetrical road kill?

[Richard Prowse]

Yes 2nd fiddle, for once you are right.

Though that 'eh' thing at the end of each sentence might get irritating.

And in Toronto it is forbidden to mention the Lone Ranger.

Well, I can see this thread maybe catching on fire but other than that, I have no clue what else it can catch on to!

Good turn of phrase Ken!

[Robert Prowse]

Correct me if I'm wrong ... but isn't this thread really about the good old USA

What else is up there near Canada but Alaska and the other 52 states ...

[Robert Prowse]

I've always thought USA has the best Anthem ...


Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
