i was at a soccer tourney a while ago and i was telling this one girl i met from Minnesota a story and when i said "While i was watching TV". she blurted out "You guys have electricity up there??, with a startled face on. I laughed my *** off for hours. She thought we were like WAAAAAY up north where they live in igloos and ****. That was pretty funny

Yeah, once at a track meet, I convinced 30 people that Canadians trade their dogsleds for cars at the boarder. LOL!

Well, I suppose that if your only source of info is rumor, your actions would prove that, as in the case with the ships freezing over.

I've never been to school in the US.. but i'm guessing that there is little taught about Canada. Most that know about Canada have probably been here!

i was watchin this TV show "talking to americans"
and they asked "we have a replica of ur witehouse, its smaller, but the biggest difference is that it is made out of ice. we are going to put a shield around it to protect it from the sun, but it will cost alot of money so we would like to no if u would pay money to see our national iglo?" or something like that, and the americans would say "i would love to see it" and they got a mayer to say "congrats on preserving ur nationinal iglo" there was lots of stuff like that
