Egregious? Documents can be signed electronically.

I haven't figured out what your crowd comment is getting at.

Curious of how this is relevant to this thread?

interesting.....your curiosity demonstrates that relevancy is only to that which happens in your backyard. Canadian culture is very much ingrained into our Yuma life style and we americans have embraced those Canadians who choose to participate in our border culture. These Canadians , who have been neighbors for 10 years, acted as commuinty to help those on our street, but now there decision making and future have been hobbled by covid and what future it may bring, have to give up a lifestyle, after being wheat farmers and feeding the world, have to give up warm winters in Yuma and embrace the cold

Americans and Canadians culture Q&A Thread. Bavaiableoth our countries are similar yet different in cultures. So I thought it would fun if Disboarder’s asked questions they had about the other’s county. Knowledge brings people together rather than further apart. Our countries are great allies and neighbors but since we are not the same, it would great to have questions answered that may seem confusing to an outsider. For example, I never understood why we pronounce the letter Z as “zee” while Canadians say “zed”. Is it simply due to British influence?

you state that we are not the same....well....here on my street that great Canadian couple where just like us and newcomers to our street could never tell the difference......well wait....ask a neighboring American for help and good luck with that,,,,but these folks, always availed with a helping hand and the skills to do so. after spending time with them, the one truth that I have discovered is that the bureaucracy of the two countries do not make us good allies or neighbors.

Your talking more of a political view than culture. Politics is not welcome on the thread or the Disboards, you know that.

I'm sorry but I'm not really following what you are trying to say other than maybe the Canadian couple always helped people. As for them selling their home and moving back to Canada, that would be a personal decision, not a government one.

Our excitement up here is purely political these days. And since politics is off limits here on the Dis - I have nothing to report from this side of the 49th parallel.


Oh… except our ladies hockey team beat the US last night in Beijing

Wow, really. I check in from time to time with an Ottawa based cruise Vlogger and he says the "media is make more of the situation that is really happened"

Raptors are on a six-game streak and the weather's fine in Calgary. Not that anybody is really thinking about either of those things right now...

Don’t worry, the USA will win gold in both the men’s and women’s hockey final. It’s what we do.

Except for the teensy tiny fact that Canada has won more gold medals in Olympic ice hockey than the US - for both men and women

Thank you for saving me the time of having to post exactly what you did.

Well… we’ll see. Canadian Ladies are undefeated, US ladies… not able to claim that,

Like all good things, time brings change - I’ll just be over here cheering our girls on. lol

For days and weeks the media up here has been reporting from the scene of the protest, some days the coverage has been non stop. I wouldn’t call it biased or making more of what’s happening. If your Ottawa based Vlogger lives in the suburban area of Ottawa he or she is likely not impacted at all by the things happening in the downtown core where the occupation is happening, The powers that be in the nation’s capital were caught fully unprepared for what has descended upon them, Sadly, they had the time to put measures in place as the convoy made its way across country it didn’t just appear overnight.. they waited until the protesters arrived and were overwhelmed.

FYI … Westchester County isn’t exactly “upstate NY”, far from it. It’s basically NYC north & it’s roughly 350 miles south of the Canadian border. Bobcats are seen frequently in the Adirondacks.

It’s national pizza day in both our countries. Does your local area have a specific kind of pizza that it’s known for? What’s your favorite type of pizza? What’s the best pizza shop you’ve eaten at?

He recorded a video of himself in front of Parliament. Framed in such a way that it didn't look like a big deal. But no wide shots.

The no-brainer answer is Hawaiian; it's as much a staple of Canadian cuisine as poutine or Nanaimo bars.

Pineapple on pizza? Do Canadians do this or is this just an American thing?

This just answered my question. Thanks.
