"These allegations are ridiculous!"
Does he not understand what a video is?
I hate the guy, but his term in office certainly has been entertaining.
The guy can't do anything without committing some insane blunder. I feel like if he called for a pizza delivery he'd end up making a bomb threat.
Strike cancelled!
Before it's gone tomorrow, and in case anybody (For some strange reason) never visited google today:
140th anniversary of the formation of the Northwest Mounted Police.

I don't even know how I wrote that.
That's rough. I'm sure you'll have another bowel movement eventually.By the way?
20 years and counting.
Seriously I have no idea what you're talking about though.
Oh. No, they've kept it in the Hockey Hall of Fame here in Toronto for much longer than that.
And the tradition of players getting it for one day (so that it spends the majority of its time here in Canada) goes back to its inception. I'm really surprised you guys don't know about that.

for a low blow, remind her Iginla is playing for a WINNING team now.
There's a quote from a movie I can't remember by Graham Greene (relatively well known Native Canadian actor) that he uses as a prayer that I'm going to paraphrase here.
"There's no beef like Alberta beef and I'll kill any corn-fed son of a bitch who says otherwise."
I hope the maple syrup smell is not a security measure because that may backfire on them.

Although I do take issue with a few their notes (ie: "washroom" vs "bathroom"- we definitely use the term bathroom, it's "restroom" you never hear here. For my part, it's a bathroom if it's got a bathtub or shower in it, it's a washroom if it doesn't)

Yeah restroom is the weird thing. Fo' sho.
My mother is American so I learned a lot of "American" stuff. For instance, I always said "zee" instead of "zed" when I was young because it was my mom who taught me the ABC's.

What? You're obviously not asking anyone in Houston then.
Travel is measured in time around here. Going from Houston to Dallas is about 4 hours, shorter if you're a fast driver and don't hit traffic.
The first two on that website is wrong.
Power bill isn't called a hydro bill everywhere in Canada. I live in Alberta, I do not get my power from hydroelectricity. We call it the power bill. And the second one is technically correct, some cream soda is pink, but they show a can of Fanta, which is clear in colour.
So many are things that are from such localized areas of Canada too. Canada is a big place. Not all Canadians pronounce words the same way or have bagged milk (one of the ones that I've personally have never seen in my entire life).
The tea kettle thing isn't just Canadians, that's almost everywhere on Earth USA. No one but you microwaves water to boil it.
