More about Canadia

  • Bag is pronounced beg, other -ag words are also said this way
  • Tim Hortons is a donut/coffee place and is everywhere. I walked 6 blocks and passed 2
  • Moose are more delicious than deer, but have very lean meat (lunch discussion one day)
  • Everyone must own a plaid jacket according to Josh. Have I seen many? No. It's the middle of summer and is like 27 degrees out.(in celsius which I have yet to completely understand)
  • The capital is Ottowa
  • The last letter of the alphabet is pronounced zed
  • English and French are on all the labels and French is not allowed to be printed smaller
  • As a country with 2 national languages, children must take French in elementary school
  • Will thinks changing the country's name to Canadia will increase the demand for secretaries because they'd have to change all the letterheads, but I think it would sound prettier
  • I went to Dollarama the other day and their makeup brand is aziza, same as the Dollar Tree. There were also many Canadian souveniers there and some lucky brother may receive a tie in the somewhat near, somewhat far future.
  • Donairs are sold everywhere. It's a turkish sandwich similar to a greek gyro and is delectable. We had some yesterday.
