There is a little area of Canada in the South West corner where there is very little snow and a whole lot of rain. This is where I live. Today we have frost on the ground and sun in the sky. A perfect day but one you won't find anywhere else in this beautiful country this time of year!

Oh, dearie me; if it hasn't been already mentioned, make tourtiere, of course (and, yes I made mine and my husband (a not Canadian scarfed it down already, and my sisters have my recipe down pat). No, we haven't been Canadians for a few generations, but over the holidays, tourtiere rules!
We are also very good at picking on Toronto. In 1999 there was a big snow storm. The mayor of Toronto called in the army to help out. I don't think the rest of Canada will ever let them live that down.

Very Interesting Alix. There were a few I didn't know.
I bet you and your fellow Albertans are especially proud of having no Norwegian rats and being the birthplace of "trick or treat"!
I am originally from Saskatchewan and I never remember hoodies being known as bunnyhugs - they were kangaroo jackets/sweaters. Jelly donuts were bismarks and the rectangular chocolate covered donut was a long john.

Come on...no one thinks the glow in the dark dinosaur coin is super cool? THAT just made me so proud to be Canadian!
Well, yeah. But, I don't have one, so I'm trying not to think about it.
Actually, it would be nice to have one - so I could find a quarter in the depths of my huge purse for the shopping carts!
