Because Dirk isn't an actual Canadian, allow me to properly fill you in.

Fact or fiction:


-Milk sold in plastic bags in Canada
--True, but only in the East. Out here in the civilized West milk bags are as rare of a sight as Stanley Cup victories.

-Most of the population speaks French
--False, unless you consider "squinted eye mumbling" as French.

-They have the Chocolate Museum
--False, we don't have THE Chocolate Museum.

-Werewolfes are a common sight
--Half Truth, you're likely thinking of Manitobans, who are hairy, but lost the power to shapeshift during the Red River Rebellions.

-Canada's official flag was in the old days the English flag
--Half Truth, our flag was never the English flag; it was the flag of the United Kingdom early in our history. This point shows ignorance of two countries. Forshame.

-People do not close the doors of homes for the night
--True, because every Canadian lost their front door in the great Beaver Incident of 1903.

-They drink Vodka
--False, confusing us with Russia...

-Polar Bears can be seen in streets during the winter
--True, because they need to go somewhere when there is no Arctic ice.

-Canada offer asylum to Bill Clinton in the 1960s
--False, although if we did it is your loss, America.

-They are very patriotic
--True, considering it is literally impossible to define the word "Canadian" without the phrase "not American."

-They do not like to appear low in clothes
--What?

-Canada's National Animal is the Beaver
--True, although there is a movement to change the national animal to the polar bear. A seemingly smart idea until you realize you're trading one sexual innuendo for another, much more disturbing sexual innuendo.

-They are very rich
--False, the entire country celebrated cause we could afford a new hockey team. In Atlanta, they don't even care. In Winnipeg, they're still cleaning all the jizz off of the windows.

-They are not like Americans
--Half True, we're Americans when they are cleaner, better looking, healthier, nicer dressed, smarter and can hold their liquor better. Other than that, we're pretty much the same.

-Canadian women are beautiful and shy
--Spexy
 

Shifty

So, I take it Manitoba is the Canadian equivalent of West Virgina? :confused:
 
Has The Banner of St. George really been the official flag of Canada?
 

Will E Worm

Conspiracy...
-Milk sold in plastic bags in Canada
True

-Most of the population speaks French
Who cares :D

-They have the Chocolate Museum
Come to the Chocolate Museum to see why St. Stephen is known as "Canada's Chocolate Town"

-Werewolfes are a common sight
If you know where to look.

-Canada's official flag was in the old days the English flag
The Royal Union Flag is also an official flag in Canada, used as a symbol of ... a component of other Canadian flags

-People do not close the doors of homes for the night
Stupid people leave their doors unlocked.

-They drink Vodka
Moose Milk....Vanilla Milkshake with Canadian whisky

-Polar Bears can be seen in streets during the winter
Sometimes

-Canada offer asylum to Bill Clinton in the 1960s
I understood their reluctance to serve, but not their cowardice. Many ran away to Canada to escape the Draft. Some, like Bill Clinton, rushed away to England. Quite a contrast to when our ‘Greatest Generation’ ran away to England in 1940 to fight before we entered WWII.

-They are very patriotic
Shouldn't they have a larger military and be more pro-gun?

-They do not like to appear low in clothes
Canada invests a lot in the fashion industry

-Canada's National Animal is the Beaver
Beavers appear on the reverse of Canadian nickels (5 cent piece).

National symbols of Canada

-They are very rich
No

-They are not like Americans
They dream :angels:

-Canadian women are beautiful and shy

What's the difference between Canadian Football (Grey Cup) and the NFL?

I read that some US teams have played in the Grey Cup - but no Canadian team has played in the NFL. Is this true?

What's the difference between Canadian Football (Grey Cup) and the NFL?

There are a couple of differences, but the main ones are that Canadian football is played on a larger field and tends to favour smaller, faster players than the NFL. Canadian football is also played with twelve players per each team instead of eleven like American football, and also in Canada teams only get three downs to make ten yards as opposed to four, making (in my opinion) Canadian football somewhat more frustrating to watch as there can be literally dozens of punts per game.

I read that some US teams have played in the Grey Cup - but no Canadian team has played in the NFL. Is this true?

Yup. The CFL expanded to the States for a couple of seasons in the 90s. They had teams in Vegas, Shreveport, Miami, San Antonio, Memphis, an a couple of other places. It was a really, really stupid idea becuase all the teams sucked except for the Baltimore Stallions, who were actually really popular and won the Grey Cup in 1995.
 
Fact or fiction:
-Milk sold in plastic bags in Canada

when i was a kid and still living at home milkmen would deliver milk in the glass bottle or a pouch, but it was never sold in stores in the glass jar or pouch (maybe before i can remember though) now you can only get milk in a carton or plastic jug

French is taught in schools all over Canada, so the percentage of people that can speak french is very high, but as far as speaking french as there native tongue i dont actually know
