"Well, I suppose it'd be great if you were a cantonese-speaking duck.The incessant rain would
be nice, and considering nearly 40% of the city speaks Cantonese as its first language, the city of incessant fog'd be perfect".

"Don't get me started on the losers that Vancouver is largely responsible for installing into the provincial legislature".

I hope that was not intended as an insult.Won't take it as one till otherwise stated as an insult. I mean the cantonese speaking duck thing and Vancouver being 40% Cantonese speaking, throwing into the mix of those losers that Vancouver is responsible for voting in.

Oooh... I suppose that could be taken the wrong way.

All I was saying was that (a) Vancouver has several characteristics that make it rather different from Canada as a whole, most notably due to ethnic composition and climate, which makes the assessment that Vancouver is the best example of "Canada" as false , (b) most Vancouverites I've known are generally ignorant to the remainder of the province and (c) due to the population breakdown, any political outcome in the province is always blamable on the Lower Mainland.

Now that that's out of the way, let's crack out the Kraft Dinner and get hunky-dorey, Canadian-style...

"We're tiny, we're toony,
We can't afford a loonie,
Because of Marooney,
And his stupid GST!"

There's more, but I can't remember what it is...
Yes, I know what a loonie is, and Yes, I know who Marooney(sp?) was.

Mulroney
That tune sounds awfully familair.

(the only eight-letter swear word in the English language).

Our last PM (if you leave Ms. couple-of-weeks Campbell out), who pops up every so often to sue the RCMP, the government, the CBC, etc... Has a chin that would embarrass Leno.

What your friend was referring to was Mulroney's gift to the masses, the Goods and Services Tax, a 7% sales tax stuck on top of the posted price of pretty much everything for sale in Canada. Some leading academics believe it lead to his sub-15% approval rating, his resignation, and the resulting plunge of the ruling Conservative Party from 200-something seats and a majority in every province to a bit fat 2 seats in the House. I tend to agree.
