canadian club love, a place in the country, everyone's ideal

canada special

when i was a kid there used to be this programme on kid's tv in england called, "royal canadian mounted police". i can't find any trace of it in google so it was obviously a complete pile of horseshit (maybe even worse than, "skippy, the bush kangaroo"). anyway, i loved it at the time. what really fascinated me was the motto of the mounties, "we always get our man": as a kid i believed this. always? you had to be impressed by those statistics, right?



many years passed before i discovered the truth about the mounties: they never got their man. mainly because they were riding horses and the crooks were driving range rovers.

the more i learned about canada the more disillusioned i got. the image of the lumberjack was destroyed by that monty python thing, and then a woman friend of mine went to live in montreal and told me some pretty depressing things about canadian guys. for example when a sophisticated canadian guy meets a cute girl (at a debutantes ball, or something) he greets her with the phrase, "tu sus?". that's the cool guys, so you can imagine what the real canucks are like. i guess it's because they're all scions of scotland:



mountain guys who find it difficult to differentiate between a woman and a moose.

culture? well, take a listen to this: canadian rock music. pretty dull, right. i won't bore you with a list of canadian stars of music, tv and film because there isn't one.
