Well done on making everyone feel like Canada is crazy guys...It's more like the rest of the world is crazy and we are all just perfectPlus, toques rock, I have eight!
I don't own a single winter hat. I hate wearing them. The hood on my winter coat is good enough. I also don't like wearing mitts either. I guess that makes a really crazy canadian.
I am going to get my suitcases (one to check & one to carry on) out of the closet today and start deciding what to pack. Only 69 hours until I fly out to Vancouver.sigpic

Originally posted by Snowflake View PostGo in the summer. DO NOT go in winter, it's cold and it snows wayyyy to much! I usually go in late July or early August. Newfoundland is one of the most beautiful places on the planet, and the people there are super nice. There is an app to help you understand Newfie (yes, they can be that hard to understand). Plus you can go whale watching, there is an Island that has over a million birds on it, and they have a whole street in St. Johns that just has pubs on it(George street). If you can time it so that you hit the George street festival you are in for a treat!! Ok, I am stopping here because I could go on for hours, and now I want to go there again...
He's in Winnipeg at the moment on a business trip, I think he would have preferred St John's!!!

The only thing I'm not looking forward to is packing. But I'll have to do it eventually? *coughs* tomorrow *coughs*And the journey might be a bit exhausting as well. But I'm not complaining. It should be worth it.

Originally posted by Snowflake View PostLets see, my dad was born and raised in Newfoundland, my mom in Manitoba, and I in Kelowna..pretty sure I got being Candian covered, plus, I'm used to the weather, so I don't need to cover my head all the time
I use to live in Sorrento, right on Shuswap Lake, the winters were so mild. Lots of snow but never very cold.
Calgary and the -30C winds in the winter, I have to wear something on my head.

Originally posted by Arctic Goddess View PostLOL. You obviously are not buying Canadian socks. We take that the boot problem into consideration. Sometimes, after wearing the socks for a while, the elastic will get old and the socks will slip off, but if you buy Canadian made socks, you won't have that problem...at least for a while. By the way, one of the best Canadian brands is a company called Stanfield's.

By the way, this is a touque:

These are Mukluks:

Mukluks are the warmest, most comfortable boots you will ever wear.
And, in Churchill Manitoba where the polar bears wait for the sea ice to freeze, they often make friends with the dog sled teams:

When you arrive in Canada you may see that, people who drink and drive are not identified as DUI, but as DWI (Driving while intoxicated), like this:
