What does it mean to be Canadian

[Random Name]

I think the most Canadian thing about Canadians is we have no idea who John A. Macdonald was or what he ever did.

[Johnny]

haha.


I saw a news report about that.

[beautiful liar]

I think I will find out when I meet the Canadian Studies students in Havana. I expect they will have better answers on the meaning of being Canadian than I do.

[saman]

wasn't john a. macdonald the first prime minister of canada?

i think i pass the test. or fail it, depending on how you look at it.

[Dr. Hobo]

yeah.. theres a statue of sir. john a. in kingston which was the capital at the time

hes also wearing an onion around his waist and had to walk 15 miles barefoot in the snow uphill...


both ways.

[crustine]

he is not wearing an onion!! I think i have a pic somewhere in my files of said statue. Yes he is burried about 5 km from where i am sitting and the road named after him is but a stones throw from where i sit.

i see no onion



and Kicker it would be a metre of snow not a foot

[Dr. Hobo]

shhhh christine.. you're not supposed to take that part seriously!

i remember that statue i think.. isnt that in the park near the lake and umm.. i wanna say kingston general?
i vaguely remember a park just off of queen's campus

[crustine]

yep that would be called city park. ahah the court house is at the top earl hall on one side the houses on the lake on the end. sometime they play cricket there.

ever since people talked about poutine i cant stop thinking about it.

we make the most of what we get...here is a good example of the lengths we go to to amuse ourselves with all this snow.

this is just outside of Ottawa
