Joking aside there is nothing wrong with asimilating if thats what someone wants. I enjoy living here and Im happy. I accept that there are differences some things better some things worse.
You are a bastion of all things Brit.

My tongue is so firmly wedged in my cheek - I totally get there is nothing wrong with joining in. But music and Christmas lights were things I was holding firm on - and I failed.

But at least it's not Country Music, eh, mandymoochops?!

Is it OK to call someone a bastion??


Maple syrup and bacon IS good. So is coating bacon in black pepper and bworn sugar or maple syrup and baking it. It sets of the smoke detectors but it's worth it, bacon candy.

I am so sorry.





What are your new Canadian "sins"?
Awesome

Good to go

I had the opposite experience the other day. I was listening to Boards of Canada and the missus asked where they were from. I always assumed they were Canadian (cos, you know, the name), turns out they are scotch. I wasn't sure whether to be relieved or disappointed.

I see your Hedley (runners up for Canadian Idol no less) and raise you Nickelback who I floved when I first came to Canada. Of course, I didn't realise that a) every song they do is exactly the same and b) they are pretty disgusting excuses for human beings.

Other than that, I quite like Tim Hortons.

Thinking a brown car and brown seats looks Okay. I like some Hedley. Starting to really like some of the furniture in stores, erm and Poutine.

I still draw the line at going out in my PJ's and I still hate the yep when you thank someone.

I blame neuroplasticity. I think our brains are being re-circuited or whatever they call it by Canada.
