Happy birthday, Canada
“Canada is the essence of not being. Not English, not American, it is the mathematic of not being. And a subtle flavour – we’re more like celery.”
~ Mike Myers
“I’ve been to Canada, and I’ve always gotten the impression that I could take the country over in about two days.”
~ Jon Stewart
“If the national mental illness of the United States is megalomania, that of Canada is paranoid schizophrenia.”
~ Margaret Atwood
“We went from being boring little Canada to a sexy country of sin overnight? We are not used to being trendy or hip.”
~ Douglas Coupland
“We demand that the government of Canada force Stockwell Day to change his first name to Doris. Why do this, you may ask? Because it’ll be fun.”
~ Rick Mercer
“Americans know as much about Canada as straight people do about gays. Americans arrive at the border with skis in July, and straight people think that being gay is just a phase. A very long phase.”
~ Scott Thompson

I have to admit that I didn’t know anything about Canada before Nevis. However, thanks to all the great things that were grown in Canada and shipped here : ) ; ) I have grown to appreciate it much much more!! I even have a Canadian full size flag in my room and I am not even Canadian : ) : P
