This was my thinking when NWT split into nunavut, it's like splitting up antarctica, who the hell gives a shit?

Hugs are very contagious, I think there should be a movement to make it the international greeting. A greeting to replace bows, handshakes, bises, sticking your tounge out (I think this is turkish?), waving ect...

Probably only the 30 000 or so Eskimos that live there(Nunavut is the size of Western Europe by the way) But for the record Antartica does have penguins instead of seals. lol

30k? Wow.. I didn't think it was that low..

I know it's physically massive, just as Canada is (2nd largest to Russia I believe) - but you don't see anyone else in the world caring about Canada now do you (except the dutch)? Fer god sake, Canada's claim to fame is the south park movie...

K, enough making fun of Canada, it's just too easy.

Back to americans in paris, watch Rugrats in Paris and voilà (did I get the right accent this time?).

I know it kind of sucks because all the celebrities from Canada who go to the US blend in so well that I sometimes wonder how many Americans actually know that they are Canadian. We usually know but I wonder if they really care? But Canada has more to take credit for than the South Park movie, just don't think anybody outside of the country cares. But it's our country so it's our job to let them know about it, they have their own countries to care about, maybe we're just to modest. But its about 30mil Canadians to 300mil Americans, they can't help but dominate the North American spotlight. But in world affairs Canada is like a moral compass, if we support the idea then people usually feel better about it. If that is of any use...
From an American in Paris to a discussion about Canada, how did that happen?

Edit: Voilà looks good to me, if your interested here is an online spell and grammer checker for French, faster than using a word processor for forums and stuff http://lepatron.tapor.ualberta.ca/

Maybe canada is the gateway for americans into paris?

I had written a few paragraphs about how the world sees canada, but I figured noone would care so I deleted it. Heres the short version: Promotion is pointless, because it will be filtered a thousand times before mohammed over in saudi arabia hears about it.

Wow! This is amazing. I think this should go in a thread of it's own.

I thought the same thing so stuck it in Matrix's French lesson thread.

I couldn't help myself, I let out an audible laugh. That was funny.

Ah sorry for my bad English! I meant to say I liked what you all said, and am quoting them down here:

5. Hey garson! Excuuusee moi. Got any ketchep for this?

8. Hey you, frenchie! Where can I find Al-ee-zee?

Nice Rocket But if any of you do go to Paris saying most of those things will probably just piss off the French. I know were all just joking, but just in case someone thought to give it a try...

What? I liked it, really. It was funny, although maybe a little insulting to the French. And you never know the obviousacity to those whose English is not that great. (like mine, what the hell kind of word is obviousacity?)

these are some hilarious things
