This is a totally Canadian thing to do:

http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2014/02/10/canadian-beer-fridge_n_4762696.html

Thinking back to my years of traveling in Europe, I remember there would often be a bunch of Americans who would plant a Canadian flag sticker onto their backpacks to avoid the stereotypes some Europeans had of them -- wouldn't it be funny to have a local ask an American wearing a Canadian flag patch to use his passport to open the fridge? Busted.

I'd love to have one of these in my house! (As an aside, too bad they couldn't have used a better quality of beer for this promotion...)

ETA: The beer fridge is in Sochi right now!

Reason #471,653: Canadian coach rushes to help Russian skier with broken ski ... while Russian coaches just stand there without making a move to help.
Video here (not sure if it will show up outside of Canada?)

Reason #471,654: Junio gives up spot in 1000m speedskating race... and his teammate Denny Morrison thanked him by winning an unexpected silver medal.

Wow.

I will admit #471,652 thru 471,655 are worthy inclusions, but I couldn't come up with more than 5.

#1; Wearing Toques.
#2; Moose meat. And Moosehead.
#3; Curling.
#4; Toleration of countrymen who claim to love pootine.
#5; World's finest frostbite treatment facilities.




A Tribal Whoopee! We're all gonna fry.

Well, in the Summer. Love Victoria. Used to take a float plane there from Lake Washington. My son walked for the first time on some incredible giant green lawn. Courthouse? Gov't center? I forget.

Anyway, it appears that some Canadians like Southern California.
Thanks for the visitors, Skunkie!

... has imposed a timber tariff on Canada, not to mention "milking" it for all its worth:

"Canada has made business for our dairy farmers in Wisconsin and other border states very difficult. We will not stand for this. Watch!"

Watch and close your eyes, it won't be pretty!

Just $109 grand gets you this place.

There are some mild complications and inconveniences, however.

Which side can you grow pot on?

And if Canadians can leave from the northern side, and Americans can leave from the Southern side, doesn't that mean that this house is a genius way to smuggle stuff? You know, like Cuban cigars and Havana club going south, and real bacon going north? (What, drugs? No, they're bad for you, let's stick to alcohol and tobacco products. And pork.)

And I would blame the Canadian termites for eating up the American bedrooms. Those Canadians are like that, I've heard.

"RE: Suckers!"
Posted by cahaya on 06-14-17 at 05:15 PM
Hey, for $109k you could open this place up as a tourist attraction. You've got bedrooms that allow honeymoon couples to do it on both sides of the border, in one house, provided they've got their passports in order. The original structure goes back to 1787 as a border general store serving both countries.

Of course, you can take your chances and be stupid and try to set up a cell here.

And maybe we're missing another bet. Do they have any pesky Moonshine laws in Canada?

Well, you know how French is, with all those fancy characters over the letters, with "Arręt" as the word for "Stop".

It looks too close to "Arrest" for my liking! The French are fancy characters themselves, and I'd expect Inspector Jacques Clouseau, the Pink Panther to show up knocking on the door...

Think again. The Pink Panther was actually a giant pink diamond.

Justin Trudeau has a baby named after him, born of Syrian refugee parents.

There'll never be any Donald Trump namesake refugee babies for him to hold, even if he wanted to.

Hells Bells! I would name all my children after him to get the Hell out of Syria.

Too Damn bad they are so war-torn by different ideologies, and killing each other. The United States can't be the peacemaker of the world. People have to find their own way.

It's pretty darn hard to get Canadian Citizenship! Good for the survivors!
