No, on the contrary, I'm quite complimentary of the place, its very scenic around Vancouver, has decent fishing, the July and August weather can be quite spectacular and I like the sushi and chicken-wing special nights. What else is there?

Re: Faking laughter to blend with Canadian humour
Yes, lots of great scenery to be seen here (if a bit flat compared to back home) and some of the best sunsets I've ever experienced! But then I am from Ireland and grew up surrounded by breathtaking scenery and lots of rolling green hills and beautiful old Architecture. The lakes here and sunsets are beautiful. People complain about the weather but the snow and ice brings lots of fun with skating and sleding and in the warmer months there is so much sunshine it's surprising!
I think where I am gets a lot of cultural overlap from the states only being a couple of hours drive and their sense of humour has rubbed off here. It's just the first place I've been where I've not been able to have a good side-splitting laugh with the locals even when with relative strangers. Maybe the Canadian sincerity theory is true. It's just taking some getting used to. I expect moving to Japan would be that much harder.

Ron James.
Now there is a crime against comedy. Totally not funny for 30 minutes at a time.

I seem to recall his bit on being stuck on the LA freeway and needing to pee when he was trying to break into the biz was very funny, but YMMV.

I spent today listening to some halfwit, almost 60 year old, at work play some shit country bumpkin song called You're an Arsehole!! After the hysterical laugher still coming from the office after the umpteenth time he played it, I wanted to cheerfully rip him an new Arsehole of his own!!
I'm surprised there are not more serial killers in this county!
ps...Fart jokes are not funny!

Re: Faking laughter to blend with Canadian humour
I find this too. Been here in Canada for 20 years and the US for 4 before that. It's ironic acutally, the newly implanted Brits here think they are somehow more sophisticated on the humour front, when truth is, they are as dumfounded as those they jeer at.
Bit arogant, is it not, to suppose that we are funnier and have a monopoly in what splits one sides.
