lol Wrong again Eric, I'm in the UK, it's Heather who is in Canada.

Same point. I don't know if either WalMart or Radio Shack are in either
Canada or the UK, but either way you're much more likely to live near
one in the US.

Sigh......and you actually get ticked off if we Canadians tell Americans
they know dick all about Canada??

I have both a WalMart (ptui) and a few Radio Shacks (now called "the
Source") within a 10 minute drive from my home in the outer boonies of
Toronto. Also have a lot of Best Buys too. American Eagle, Old Navy, the
list is endless.

We can and do speak English, very few of us are bilingual.....we are not
at war with Quebec......and we don't wear snowshoes in July. Just to
cover a few misconceptions I have run across.

All of the above is *tongue in cheek*, so don't go all ballistic on me (as
usual). Must remember to put some sort of smilies on my posts.

Ha! I've never left my country.
The closest I will likely get to seeing Canada in person is when I take my
vacation to Niagara Falls.

I figure there are quite a few WalMarts in Canada, but probably not as many
as in the US.
I know many big companies that are in the US are also in Canada. I used to
work for Foot Locker. They have stores up there as well as a corporate
office, so I have spoken with a Canadian on the phone and I know they really
do often end sentences with "eh?".

I figure the English/French speakers in Canada are probably about as many
English/Spanish speakers in America.
Some here speak only Spanish, quite a few speak both, and most of us speak
only English.
I had some foreign languages in high school but I don't remember much.

Every shot I recall seeing of Canada on TV/movies has snow on the ground. I
imagine they get about as much snow as Russia (not year round).

I don't know about any war up there, but I have heard something about parts
of Canada rebelling against England.
