Not at the moment as the salmon have all naffed off up the river, plus the ice hockey season has started so the locals will be bleating on endlessly about that shite for the next nine months.

How could they not be? From your link:

" It is impossible to have an intelligent conversation with a Canadian and they are so gung ho that Canada is the best country in the world to live in .
Well ,if you like six month winters every year,minus 40c temperatures,Vast distances of boring landscape any time you want to go anywhere,Tacky ,ugly cities and towns , living in plywood boxes with roofing felt roofs and plastic wall coverings(outside)and a general air of every thing tempory tacky and cheap thenif you value this sort of environment I guess it could be construed as a good place to live.Oh and I forgot the trigger happy bozos they call police officers ready to shoot or taser anyone who may be a threat to them."

I reckon the response will depend on ‘when’ you ask

Asking in July August or September you’ll be much more likely to get a positive reponse compared to asking in February or March
But then again if you’re a smart journalist you wouldn’t be here in February or March

Knowing that ice hockey pisses you off raises my happiness in Canada level from 99 to 100%.

It doesn’t piss me off as such, you just sort of feel a bit sorry for them. As a culture they sort of like your special needs cousin who obsesses over Tapirs or Reversi. You know that they'll never amount to anything really.

Tapirs! I used to obsess a bit over those. Never really understood why.
