Canadians, do you ever stream sports games/movies on a projector outside in your backyard on warm nights?

I stream live sports all the time, especially when something like the Olympics or Commonwealth Games are on. Movies outside not to much but I know plenty of people that do.

Except it's not called that anymore. It's called canola and is by far the highest volume seed crop grown in Alberta now.

Do Canadians watch the Pan American games?

Yes

Yes, the PC name for rape seed.

Actually it's not.

First it's rapeseed not rape seed.

Second, canola and rapeseed are not the same thing. Canola comes from Canadian and oil. It was was created through plant cross-breeding by removing two things found in the rapeseed plant: glucosinolates and erucic acid.

I volunteered when they were here. I ended up being a ticket taker captain so I got to see a lot of venues and events.

That’s really cool.

It was a great experience.

Oh and my secondary school (high school) had 2 separate gyms with one of those 2 big enough to be split into two with a divider. That’s what the elementary school gym is too, has a divider so it can be split into two.

That's how my high school was (they've since torn it down and built a brand new high school, not sure what it has now). The smaller gym was for freshman and sophomore gym classes, the larger one for juniors and seniors (coed).

I stand corrected on the spelling

I am actually participating in my 9th Canada Games right now. Always a great experience.

I messaged my cousin who teaches public High School in Ottawa and he says PE is not co-ed at his school. So clearly it varies.

I grew up in Ottawa, what school does your cousin teach at?

Canadians, if you could plan a 100% complete Canadian menu, what would it consist of?
