Important Questions on Canada
 
My wife sent me the following, alledgedly a list of questions asked by visitors to a Canadian Tourism website a couple of years ago, along with some light-hearted answers. Unknown at present whether these answers were the ones given by the un-named Tourism website, and unknown if the questions are even true.

Q: I have never seen it warm on Canadian TV, so how do the plants grow?(UK)
A: We import all plants fully grown and then just sit around and watch them die.

Q: Will I be able to see Polar Bears in the street? (USA)
A: Depends how much you've been drinking.

Q: I want to walk from Vancouver to Toronto - can I follow the railroad tracks? (Sweden)
A: Sure, it's only four thousand miles, take lots of water.

Q: Is it safe to run around in the bushes in Canada? (Sweden)
A: So it's true what they say about Swedes.
