Your welcome. Cam Ward played for our local junior team, The Red Deer Rebels.

Yup, World's Fairs are still going. Toronto is bidding on one for 2015, a first-class one like Montreal's (bigger and better than Vancouver's in '86, which was really good). Those are the only ones I've been to, although I was in Europe in the 90s and there were one or two there.
Here's the Wikipedia article on expos

Come on back to Canada...leave your half-done house and your miles of Super8 movies... (You're braver than I am about the Transfer.

..I just make sure I have a projector and bulb to carry on with.)

I'm was born and bred in Cali. I'm VERY proud to be lucky enough to be born to a Canadian family. When my father retired we returned to live in Canada. Now I'm even more blessed to be married to an incredible Canadian guy. I love Canada it has been more than good to me, eh?

For sure the mayo on fries thing.

My grandparents are from Ottawa...my mom won't eat one with out mayo...I guess I just assumed it was a Candian thing?

Gotta love our Canadian neighbours!!!!!
Here in eastern Washington, we think of folks in BC like cousins - folks we like to visit, have a great deal of fun with, drink a LOT of their great beer (Kokanee rocks!!!) and sometimes lovingly make fun of...just a little!

Thanks for the parody - it's great to know that our Canadian neighbors have to put up with pretty much the same amount of BS that we here in the US do, just different BS!

Maybe!? I have never been to Ontario, only the Toronto airport twice.

That reminds me of Tucker Carlson (is that his name?) saying that "Canada is like your retarded cousin you are forced to be nice to at family get-togethers".

Ok here are two quick Canada questions? What is the stuff called gravy that comes in packets at McDonalds and is put on fries? On some menus I saw "donair meat", I asked a waiter and he said it is better not to know. Whats it all aboot?

Did you get to see him when the Cup came to town? What a fantastic young man and what a talent, Carolina should be set for a long time with him in goal
