Canada Olympics questions from USA
 

I have heard this stereotypes about stereotypes from Canadians.
And it does speaks volumes about Canadian inferiority complex.
I often did ask them (with obviouse sarcasm) if they live in a igloo
and than I watch them
defending their county with a foam around their mouth.
and THAT it's trully hillariouse.

Then some questions may be legit.
Will I be able to speak English most places I go?
Obviously the person meant to "communicate"
(By the way not everyone in the USA native english speaker)
Would you be able to communicate in Swedish most places you go in
Finland? (a country
with two languages as well???)
Most Canadians won't answer me that!

Anyhow this list is not the canadian humor as it has been cirulated
before with other countries.
Here is more on this list

By the way do you have Google in Canada.... seemd like no one on this
board know how to use it :)
Cheers.
P.S. Just so you don't misguide your verbal fury I am not American. I
am Russian.

Ask them if they like being the 51st state.

Every time I've been in Canada I have tried to get an explicit
definition of "Smoked Meat." The answer from Canadians is always like,
its smoked meat.

I haven't been with anyone who ordered it and I haven't been brave
enough to order it myself.

There's nothing wrong with most Russians. I have a good friend going
to the St. Petersburg State University. Most Canadians I've met are
super people, with a great sense of humor.

But, there exists the rare exception to that rule.

Yep. While Microsoft gets this wrong with the keyboard layout,
Alt-Shift to fix you can do english.

In BC, the next most popular languages are chinese so bone up on Madarin
or Cantonese.

True, but spanish and *******ized french will not work in BC.

I could, verbally yes. Written and in small town TV stations with not
english, no way.

Funny. I did have Americans looking for the ski hill in July once, I
pointed to it, looked at their car with jackets, boots in the back and
skis on the top, fell down laughing my ass off, it was 90F in the shade.

Sure do, use google all the time:
