    Haha. There's no way a Canadian wrote this. It's not possible, there's too many of those stereotypes.

    I find it really funny how Americans percieve Canada, or most of them anyway. So this was amusing. :)

    You should add how we apparently say 'aboot' lol.

    Hahaha. I'm Canadian, but what makes my situation worse is dat im Nova Scotian byes an I love that Caneeda. Oh my gosh, I just realized that when I talk its really, really bad... I say things like : " Mum, we got no bread." and I pronouce some words really badly. "Wednesday" is pronouced "Wansdee". "To" is pronounced "tuh". "For" is "fer".

    I love Canadians and I'm proud to be one!
