Have you ever been to the Great White North??

And if you have -- what did you think of it??

I have, but I was only like a year old, so I don't remember a thing, except that my mom tells me that some border person kept asking me where I lived, like I could really talk. But they were getting all uptight because I wouldn't answer. :rolleyes:

Poked around up there for a day once. Don't really intend on going back, unless it is to purchase alcohol..but why drive up there for alcohol?

Born there in Vancouver; visit once in a while; people are really nice and polite:)

eh? :rednose:

Went to Montreal Quebec when I was 15 for a weekend, it was a family trip. Why Montreal exactly, I don't know, but I liked it. Don't remember anything specific exactly but I enjoyed the experience.

I went to Canadia last summer to see Niagara Falls. I didn't notice a difference from America. The one waiter dude called soda pop, though, and that pissed me off equally with the bathrooms being called washrooms.

Yes, I"ve been there a couple of times. Last time was in 98. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/icons/icon8.gif

I've been there lots of times. Most of my fathers family lives there near Windsor. I've also been to Toronto and Montreal. Those two cities are very nice. They remind me a lot of Europe.

Been there before, it's alright nothing great jmo.

I just got back.
It was one of the craziest weekends in my life.

Canada is full of some weird people.

The damn southerners are trying to brainwash me, and my family into trying to call it "soda." They have my neices under their evil controls, but I'll always call it "pop."

I went to British Columbia in 1987. I can't remember if we went to Victoria, but we were in Vancouver mostly. I prefer Vancouver Washington. :p

I went there on a family vacation in Summer 1994. I visited the British Columbia province. My family and I went to see the Buchart Gardens and went on a ship. I think we also visited Vancouver.

I thought southerners called it "coke." My cousins in Texas call everything coke, and one time my friend from Alabama asked me if she could drink some of my "coke" when I was drinking from a dang Pepsi bottle. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/icons/icon8.gif

Probably depends on what part of the south..even what part of the state, 'cause Texas is laaaaarge. I know people from 'sippi call it "coke." A co-worker of mine from down there told another to grab his coke out in the hall, when it was a Mt. Dew.

My friend from NY claimed "soda" was an Eastern thing, but I've always called it soda and I didn't adopt it from the East. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/icons/icon8.gif

I went to Montreal for the weekend at the end of June with 3 of my girlfriends for one of their birthdays. It was nice.

been there many times, lived there for awhile - i've visited or lived in: Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, St John's, Sudbury, and driven across it (many years ago).

Its just different, but its sorta the same too.

When you still lived in MN, I was just next door to you...I call it soda. :grr: http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/icons/icon8.gif

In the South; we call urrything "Coke" :D .

I went there when I was 12 with my parents, on the way home from Chicago. We stayed overnight in Hamilton and then went to Niagara Falls. It was great. :)

I'm in Canada everyday. I live here. I've been to many cities. Victoria, Calgary (in an airport), Vancouver (also in an airport), Regina, Swift Current, Moose Jaw, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal. Regina is a nice city, except for the high crime rate of break and enters. It's a city where cars will stop for you to cross the street. In Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa or Montreal if you crossed the street thinking the cars wil stop for you, you'd probably be roadkill. I have seen it a lot in Regina where some people just start crossing without looking and some cross in the middle of the street. One time my dad and I visited a friend of my dad's in Winnipeg and he said to run across the street, don't walk because the cars won't stop for us. I went to Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal with my aunt and it was the same thing. You had to run.

I call the drinks, pop or soft drinks. I don't think I would call anything coke. I don't especially care for coke or pepsi.

The closest I was to canada was a few weeks ago.. I was probably 10 miles from the border........

Ive never been to Canada but if I did go, it would probably be to a city that had a sports team or the Canadian side of Niagara Falls.

Many times. Mainly British Columbia as it's right above Washington State. When I was little in the 70s my family would go into Cananda sometimes to camp.

A few times, when friends and I were 19-20 we'd go up to Canada for weekend trips to drink alcohol.

I think the last time I've been to Canada was to Vancouver with the wife and daughter, daughter was about 10, so it's been a long time.
