More hockey. Some Canadians are extreme.

They get high from playing hockey in the Rockies

I remember playing on a pond.  Ice started to crack all around us. Moved to a different spot.❄️

One night, my friend and I were out snowmobiling through the woods.

Suddenly, it sounded like someone was shooting at us.

 

We soon discovered that it was not the crack of rifles, but the crack

of ice breaking beneath her snow machine.  

 

We also discovered that the little 'clearing' we 'thought' we had driven into was actually a pond.

 

We cleared out of that 'clearing' post haste and kept that close call in mind

before going into/onto any future open areas...especially at night.

 

Snowmobile headlights aren't all that bright.

Come to think of it, neither were we.

For the record those in Western Canada don't drink Timmy's coffee we're snobs that way ..... lol seriously though I really don't like their coffee .... McDonalds is better if you can imagine that .  I don't drink either  ! But if I did.   Just sayin 

I agree, definitely not worth standing in line for.  I've seen people lined up 30' outside to get in for a coffee, I'd rather just go to a service station a block away and get better coffee

Does Canada not have a Starbucks® ?

You bet, but only in the bigger centres, don't have one here. I used to go to Chapters/Starbucks all the time when I was in the city

Depends how lazy they are in their speech. I know an elder in a different congregation, same hall as me, who is a Newfie from area where my daughter lives - no accent.

Ex-son-in-law  - even his own parents could barely understand him.

That abandoned mine looks super cool, never seen that one before.  Down where I grew up, Molson made a rink on top of the mountain, you could rent a helicopter and have a game on it. The brothers there got together and flew up for a game.  Expensive, but really cool, I'll see if I can find the article on the rink or a picture of it

Up Delphine creek past the ski hill, there's an alpine lake named Shamrock lake.  A brother I grew up with is flying chopper there, he flew a couple groups up to play

That is how to get your 'high' from playing a sport.

Would you like to learn something educational about Canada now? Well, we now have a vertical ten dollar bill. Maybe you've never seen one before, maybe you have. But it's a first for us.

I haven't even seen one yet, so I'm a little bit behind. Now, read the fascinating story about the woman whose photo appears on the front...

New thread. Add yours. Some hilarious pictures defining Canada, eh.

Kissed your moose lately?

 

No explanation needed.

I've never met a Moose but I love them

Come to think of it I've never met a Canadian either!

Thank you.

 

When I mentioned to one of our elders that we now have a vertical ten dollar bill, he asked me if it would stand up by itself. (Oh well, he's one of those elders who thinks he has a sense of humour.)

Moose are huge creatures. Think of an ugly cow on stilts.

If you hit one with a vehicle - pray your are in a highway semi truck, even then you may get hurt.

Anything smaller and...😬
