You Know You're in Canada When...

I think Quebec smokers are about the toughest SOB's on the planet. Anybody that stands outside in minus 25 degrees to grab a smoke gotta be tough.

Tough is one word to describe that...

In Canada it is a criminal offense to speak badly of Quebec or Quebeckers!

I'd never say anything negative about Quebec. I once spent the very best and happiest and most comfortable night of my life hemorrhaging in a motel room in Warwick. Or is that "haemorrhaging?"

Traveling Canada Quebec City has been one of the places I enjoyed most. Very, very nice, friendly, excellent experience.

Oh, and no Navi on that tour, just old school map navigation.

The only way to navigate. The signal never gets lost, and it never sends you down an unmarked logging road to your death.

Love Montreal. My wife treated me to a trip to that city for my 60th birthday.

She had a tough time grasping why, but I insisted upon a trip to see Wilensky's Light Lunch. I'm a Mordecai Richler/ Duddy Kravitz fan, and she's not.

Last time I ate at Swartz's the elderly waiter lectured me on smoked meat after I asked an apparently stupid question (can't remember what it was)....I feared he was going to ask me to leave. But I think he allowed me to stay as he didn't want to punish my wife because of my stupidity.

A good thing you did not critique the poutine...

With home projects all the rage and supply issues owing to covid restrictions, the price of lumber has skyrocketed. So it was clearly theft when posts disappeared from a yard.

That the culprits were beavers was not the first consideration:

In advance of Dominion Day (sorry, I am old school) on July 1st, a beaver stands on guard for thee by a Canadian flag.

And then takes the poles away to eat...
