I hate the skydome and the CN tower too,
I hate Nathan Phillip's square and the Ontario Zoo,
The rent's too high, the air's unclean,
The beaches are dirty and the people are mean,
And the women are big and the men are dumb,
And the children are loopy cuz they live in a slum!
The water is polluted and their mayor's a dork,
They dress real bad and they think they're New York,
In Toronto, Ontario-o-o
-Ya know actually I, I think I pretty much hate all of Ontario-
(Oh yeah, me too!)
I hate Thunder Bay and Ottawa, Kitchener, Windsor and Oshawa
London sucks and the Great Lakes suck and Sarnia sucks and Turkey point sucks,
I took a trip to Ontario to visit Brian Mulruney,
He beat me up and he stole my pants and he put me in a tree,
I went to see the Maple-Leafs and got hit in the head with a puck,
(Ah, I-I don't evenknow how they did it really, I mean I was playing the organ at the time!)
ONTARIO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O SUCKS,
Yep, actually now that I think about it,
I think I pretty much hate every gosh darn province and territory in our country,
Oh yeah-except Alberta! Oh yeah, I love Alberta, Yeah it's really nice, lots of cows, and trees, and rocks and dirt!
(moo moo moo)

But,
I hate Newfoundland cuz they talk so wierd, and Prince Edward Island is-Too Small,
Nova Scotia's dumb cuz it's the name of a bank, New Bruinswick doesn't have a good mall!
Quebec is revolting and it makes me mad, Ontario Sucks, Ontario Sucks!
(Manitoba's population density is 1.9 people per square kilometre,
Isn't that stupid!)
Saskatchewan is boring and the people are old,
And as for the territories,( they're too cold!)
And the only really good tehing about the province of British Columbia is that
it's right next to us,
Cuz Alberta, doesn't suck, but Calgary doesssssss!

 Reply

'Cuz Albertaaaaa, doesn't suck! But Calgary doesssss.

The only problem is that Dearthair isn't really a Canadian. He may live near Edmonton, but when it all comes down to it, he really, truly is a yankee at heart.

 Reply

@pauljones: Hey now! There's no reason to be insulting! I am clearly a Canadian through-and-through: SuzanneD refers to me as a "filthy socialist", and I take a significant measure of pride in that label.

 Reply

Now excuse me while I crack open a Moosehead and watch Wayne's World.

And to close off Canada day on Jalopnik.com I leave you with a list of Canadianisms

The Meaning of Eh!
It is quite obvious that some people are having a tough time understanding Canadians, so the following will run through a very brief translation of the Canadian 'dialect' and hopefully ease some minds out there.
EH = pronounced AY (similar, but not the same as huh)
Eh is a useful word that is very important and is the basis of all Canadian communications. It is used in conjunction with other words, or simply by itself. The tone or the slight differences in exclamation also changes the meaning:-
Eh? = what did you say?
Eh? = what do you think?
EH? = something to say just to end a sentence.
Ehhhh!! = WOW!!
EH!? = what do you mean?
Eh?? = your joking!!!??
EH!! = Hello..(you off in the distance!!!)
Eh? want a doughnut or some Tim Bits?
Eh! = sure!!
Eh!Eh! = coffee double-cream too please!
Eh? = what you say when you realize you have no money to pay for it.
Eh..cmon, eh? = asking them to let you pay for it next time.
hey..eh! = want to go to the drive-in movie??
Eh...uhuh = yes sure!
Eh..y'know = I'll pick you up at 8:00 (8:30 in Newfoundland).
Eh..cmon!! = well that's early..but ok.
Eh..wanna? eh? = lets fool around ...
EHHHHHHH = sounds coming from the car.
hey..um..er eh... = I'm pregnant!
EH????????? = how did that happen?
EHHehhEHHehhEHHH = sounds from the delivery room.
EHHH-ehh, EHHH-ehh = baby's first cry.
Ehh..whadya think eh? = marry me.

Canada also gave us The New Pornographers and all the members thereof (A.C. Newman, Neko Case, ohmygod Kathryn Calder mmm), Plants and Animals, Broken Social Scene and all the members or offshoots thereof (Apostle of Hustle, Stars, ohmygod Feist mmm), Arcade Fire, Islands, Born Ruffians, and--more importantly--Bob and Doug McKenzie.

 Reply

@FromaBuick6: We also gave you Randy Bachman and Bachman-Turner Overdrive, Paul Anka, Tom Cochrane, Billy Talent, Matthew Good Band (sorry 'bout that), Bryan Adams (sorry, except for "Summer of '69"), The Philosopher Kings / Prozzak, Alanis Morisette (sorry, sometimes), Nelly Furtado (not sorry... better you have her than us), Bruce Cockburn, Barenaked Ladies, Crash Test Dummies, Spirit of the West, Sum41 (sorry), Joni Mitchell, Jeff Healey, Arcade Fire, Maestro, Blue Rodeo, Default (sorry), Avril Lavigne(sorry), Big Sugar, Leonard Cohen, Colin James, Chantal Kreviazuk (sorry), Nickelback (sorry), Amanda Marshall, Bif Naked, Shania Twain, David Usher/Moist, The Tea Party, Rufus Wainwright, Theory of a Deadman, the Tragically Hip, Moxy Früvous, I Mother Earth, Our Lady Peace, 54-40, Great Big Sea and Wide Mouth Mason, that I can think of.

So we gave you some great stuff, and some crap... but in fairness, you did give us Paris Hilton, so I think we're probably even, no matter how much crap we send you.

 Reply

And I already said Arcade Fire. And Alanis Morrisette is awesome. [Jagged Little Pill may be the first album I ever bought.] And my skipping over Moxy Früvous was a grievous oversight. And you're going to visit, cow slippers, moose hat, and all. Damnit.

 Reply

By the power vested in me, and my commenter star, I hereby nominate thee for COTD!

Whether that be Canadian or Commenter of the day i'll leave to your best descretion.

Rye and Gingers all around..

 Reply

I'm confused as to what any of this has to do with A Strolling Player though.

 Reply

@PowerTryp: I'm not sure what you're getting at. Even if I weren't kidding, seeking out women on a car blog or forum is not a sign of desperation. It's a sign of excellent taste.
