    I've been to Canada a few times(only southeast portion) and I heard the term "Back Bacon" for Ham. Not trying to start trouble:) Sorry, I scanned right past your post Sprite!

    [​IMG] Canadians are a bunch of Maple syrup drinking, hockey playing, toque wearin', beer guzzlin, flap jackin, canadian bacon eatin', Brian Adams listening, sled dog driving, Kids in the Hall watchin', marijuana smoking, queen loving, quebec seceding, igloo livin' in, "eh" saying hosers!

    Just bear in mind this is coming from a couch potatoing, Jerry Springer watching, McDonald's eatin', football (american) playing, Cadillac drivin', natural resource usin', world polluting, mass marketing, patriotic, 70 hour a week working (well, when I start back to work that is..), money grubbing, drive by shooting, censorship imposing, trailer park livin', cowboy hat wearing, gun toting, missile pointin', bomb droppin', prudish, Yank chucklehead!

    Sorvo - "Back Bacon" is another term for Pemeal Bacon (Sprite describes above). They're used pretty interchangeably here.

    Sir Bel - You're pretty much dead on, but Brian Adams went out of style a while ago ;) Gotta go - Maple Leafs playoff game tonight (need to get the beer for the game)

    I know a lot of stereotypes all over the world, including the Netherlands, where i come from....but Canada? Sorry...nothing at all. One question though...do they all have mud on their boots?

    As being a Canadian I can say that we do not say aboot and anybody that does is looked at strange
    We don’t say eh all the time.
    We do not live in igloos or hunt polar bears(i would if i could though)
    Bacon is Bacon
    Our money has color
    We have a Prime Minister not a President
    Our beer is stronger than American beer
    We have ten provinces and 3 territories
    Our national sport is lacrosse not hockey
    Yes we have running water, cars and schools
    No they are NOT made out of snow or ice

    And yes Canadians like spreading lies to Americans aboot how we live :)

    Edit
    We only have mud on our boots if we forget to knock it off.

    I'm American.

    That makes all of you (move my finger in a giant wave) stereotypical Immigrants.

    Canadians are good people because they're so much like Americans. But Arabs - no, no, no! They are stupid and evil because look at them, all unAmerican and all!
