**** me. Starbucks overpriced coffee related drinks and biscotti vs. Macvomit burgers and other assorted lard sources? No contest & no surprise that McD's is the busier place. Although, to be fair, their coffee is better than Tim's & an egg McMuffin is a reasonably healthy breakfast alternative - rather better than 25 timbits and a double double?

Oh, they were talking about McDonald's? I thought there was a cadre of ancient Hebrew revolutionaries serving coffee in the parts of Canada I prefer not to think about.

That's a relief.

You're thinking of the Judian Popular People's Front.

You've hit on a goldmine here. Have you thought of doing one explaining the correct facial gestures to present when listening to a Canadian bang on about some past ice hockey player that you've got absolutely no idea who he is and don't give a f** about?

I'm just off to walk the bollockless border collie: I'll discuss his lost preferences on the way.

The whole idea of this is to show regular stuff to some one who is thinking about or maybe wanting to move here. I aint going to jazz it all up to look like an Alice in Wonderland Epic. It can be just as boring in the promise land as it can be in the UK.

If you live here then why watch a video called "Canadian every day regular normal life" and then give out a crap comment saying this is just every day boring stuff? Why not say "yeah i have trouble doing that, or i can't find them"
The mind boggles with a few of you guys, just goes to prove, Canadian TV is a loada bollox ,if you watching my videos, thinking ive found some new exiting thing that you do every day and you did not know about it. Dohh !!.

Thanks for the support Oink and all the other guys who gave me some good Kama.

But wouldn’t this be better: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_dollar

It gives a history, explanations of nicknames for the coins, and pictures of all the coins and notes. lol

Gotta love wikipedia
