I'm like an east coaster, and my answers didn't match there reasoning..

So it doesn't work well IMHO

It doesn‘t work on my phone... I can download the pdf‘s but. No comprende how the survey works. I was born and live in Sask and have the open, generous pioneer ethic and waste not want not personality inherited by all whose parents grew up in the depression, tempered by an underlying xenophobia, (not the fear of warrior princesses). I‘ll bet if I could do the test I‘d be prairie. Without contradictions we wouldn‘t be very interesting, even to ourselves.

It asked me a bunch of questions about stuff I really don't give a shit about then told me I'm most like someone who "will gush over the Queen between bites of their flipper pies."

Who'd have thunk she was into that kind of thing?

You sound more like a Newfie to me.

They have to train the royals to eat more or less anything without gagging. You know how funny some foreign food can be, and no one wants them to offend and kick of a diplomatic incident by refusing the sheeps eye or whatever;)

See, that's why I could never do her job. If I visited Mr. Obama's fine land of freedom and he served me a plate full of the traditional American dish "grits", I'd choke on my own puke as soon as I got a whiff of the stuff.

Apparently I'm an east coaster. Although that's the only area of Canada I haven't actually lived. :confused:

Think I'll stick to being an expat Canadian instead.

I'll stick with being English.... sounds better than "prairie dweller"!

I‘m going to find some grits and try them. I like porridge, I like cream of wheat..... grits is just corn mush and some of the recipes for dressing it up look pretty good. If it was a choice between grits and sheeps‘ eyes I‘d have my answer ready. Grits with bacon and cheddar, grits and shrimp, raccoon and grits. :p

PROFILE 2
You’re most like a Quebecker
Harper gives Quebeckers the willies, the Queen gives them the heebie-jeebies, and abolishing the long-gun registry makes them queasy. They take a strong stand on the environment and love a nice vacation, but wouldn't like to try seal meat or marijuana. They admire the CBC, the Liberals and Obama.

Apart from the bit about marijuana, they got me spot on.

The Queen bit is wrong for me, I don't admire the CBC nor the Liberals to any great extent at the minute and the Mary Joanna stuff been there done that.

Well at least that leaves Harper and the environment. Enough to prevent an Albertan result. Oh, and seal flippers.

I guess you‘re supposed to smoke the pot first then eating the seal will just come naturally.

Quebeckers are a bit iffy on marijuana?

Gimme a break!

I do not think that anyone is actually "British Columbian" - what can that possibly mean?

Came in at: Prairie Dweller/(Albertan I would like to think).
