When I was in the Philippines many years ago there were a few times when I told people that I was from Canada, and was asked “what state (of the US) was that in?”

When I was in university, I worked in the Yukon one year for a major Canadian Company that had an accounting office in Toronto. They used to send my mail to 'Winnipeg, Manitoba, Ontario".

I love the laid back way of you Canuks... very similar to us. An American comedian on local radio here described Australians as "Free range Canadians"

Default Kangaroos

Gents,

Kangaroos are actually a Canadian invention by Major General Simmonds of NWE WW2 fame. Are there , were there any Kangaroos in Australia ? ....

Actually we like your Prime Minister very much as we do all Australians.

What's his name again ?
