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 http://www.snopes.com/travel/foreign/olympics.asp 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. |

Most Canadians I've met are super people, with a great sense of humor. But, there exists the rare exception to that rule. -- "Your honor can never be taken from you.

Then some questions may be legit. Will I be able to speak English most places I go? 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. Obviously the person meant to "communicate" (By the way not everyone in the USA native english speaker) True, but spanish and *******ized french will not work in BC. 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! I could, verbally yes. Written and in small town TV stations with not english, no way. Anyhow this list is not the canadian humor as it has been cirulated before with other countries. Here is more on this list http://www.snopes.com/travel/foreign/olympics.asp 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. By the way do you have Google in Canada.... seemd like no one on this board know how to use it Sure do, use google all the time: http://whatwouldjackdo.net/assets_c/...mb-540x484.jpg Cheers. P.S.
