What would you truly love to tell Canadians but you can't..........
If you could pass comment to someone Canadian, or enlighten Canadians to your true feelings about elements of their culture, what would you really want to say?

Mullets went out of fashion in the 198.... they were never in fashion.
They do a lot of things arse backwards.
Otherwise, I like it here....

I am English not Scottish/Australian, no I am not from London, and no I have never met the Queen.
Just because you cannot understand my ENGLISH accent does not mean that I am stupid, you do not need to repeat everything ten times, I understand you completely.
Yes I do know what Hockey is, mines a Coors lite.
England is not a lickle as you think it is, I don't know everyone, especially your Grannie's old neighbor in London, as I am not from London.
Occasionally it does stop raining in the UK.
Repeat I am not from London.

Referring to every matter in local, provincial (territorial) and federal politics as a 'file' merely reaffirms the thought that 'no-one does crippling, mind numbing bureaucracy like Canadians.

'Look if I can figure out what a windshield is, why can't you figure out what a windscreen is - it's not that different a word!' and equivelent.
AND NO! A handbag (sorry purse) cannot be cute, a dress cannot be cute, a t-shirt cannot be cute (unless it has a cute picture on it). Something without eyes cannot be cute:curse:
They can be pretty/cool/smart/dressy BUT NOT CUTE!
Okay I'm back in my box now

BUT a t-shirt cannot be cute, trousers cannot be cute, everything we sell at works is deemed at some point to be cute. A down jacket - CUTE! FFS use a different word there are so many of them to choose from!

"How very dare you not conform to British way of thinking, history, dialect, language, word usage, driving, food stuffs, fashion, architecture, mannerisms, mentality, business process, laws, etc. Just because you're a different country to the UK, thousands of miles away, with historical differences, it doesn't mean you can just do things differently to the British."
Phew. Glad i got that off my chest.

I'd say to the mullet wearing buggers:

It's football dammit.
Not bad does not have to mean awesome.
If it aint broke don't fix it does not have to mean something can't be improved.
