I'm not sure what part of Canada you are from, but everyone I know around the Toronto area say's "Eh" and "Aboot" and so on. Funny thing is, they even type "Eh". Take Bartman for example

Also, don't worry, most American's don't hate Canada, if we did, the movie Canadian Bacon would come true

Hey Muzikman, i met you last year at skyball, although we didn't really talk (shook your hand though!), so i guess you didn't have much time to NOT hear "eh's" and "aboots".

LOL, i actually live in the most southern part of Canada, (well the most southern part is about 30 minutes from my house). It's not too bad here. There isnt any snow, but going up north, its freakin' cold up there!! Just think i'm basically american , if you consider latitude, if Canada didn't own the souther part of Ontario and the border went straight across, i'd be american!! (comes to the realization that that would be a nightmare )

:Last Year...Our ENTIRE class (500 kids or so) took a major feild trip to toronto...it was sooo funny. a bunch of us couldnt stop laughing every time they said Aboot, or Eh...or any other canadian slang...so eventually every where we went we heard people muttering "damn americans"...hehe

but the best time of our trip was when we stayed in the hotel, and my roommates and my room overlooked the "Buddies In Bad Times Theater"...wich was obviously a gay bar...(the purple painted cinderblock walls, and gay pride flag wernt clues at all ) but we were doing stupid things like...opening the windows and throwing hard candy adn pedestrians that were aboot...hehe i made a funny...about 10 stories down... but while we were ingaging in "pedestrian arial bombing runs" @ 1:00 in the morning we noticed all the teacher and chaperones go into the gay bar and come out and hour later and they seemed a little woozy...considering my principal almost fell over ...HAHAHA


good times...good times

You know, for that Olympic game, the ice was made by Canadians, and that they had buried a two dollar coin in the ice right at center ice? hehehe might not have been on Canadian soil, but they had the 'home ice' advantage, even if they didn't know it!

It's too bad this thread is 2 pages long now

So us as Canadians are to be punished for Renick's lack of foresight or unwillingness to try and work around what happened in 99?

I mean - it would be easy to partner with a local store who can claim the shipment as stock - the worst Rennick would have to do is pay GST on declared value

Oh well - I could rant all night - but it seems as the Canadian bashing and stereotyping has begun

Ha, funny thread.

Funny sale they have there to eh!

(Woops)

Hmm...sorry about that man. I meet way too many people not only at paintball events, but in work too. I can never remeber people's names. I am good with faces though If I meet you again this year, make sure to slap me, that way i'll remember you.

Or be like Gambit and make some killer bugers, that way I'll remember you. Poor Gambit, I meet him at the Mega Tour at AGD back in Nov, 2001. I get to Shatner, he remembers me, I have no clue who he is, I'm talking to him on the phone and am like "Who the hell are you", he's like "We met at the MegaTour". I felt pretty damn stupid:)
