I now feel a little more Canadian. Did jah all hear Canada put in a bid to buy Ely Minnesota? Apparently they are looking to use it to boost tourism.





This was an April fools prank a local news agency played. Like you guy's need Ely to boost your tourism, come on.

And.........we know how to spell colour, vapour, neighbour, centre and favour. (Flavour)

Who else would call their small currency "Loonies and Toonies" (I still like/use the term "Deuce", connotations of the devil and all.)

Unique Canadian Cars/Trucks:
We have (Had actually, gone now.) Fargo and Mercury trucks.
Pontiac Acadian, Beaumont, Parisianne, Grande Parisianne.(All with Chevy engines no less.)
Mercury LeMoyne, Ford Falcons with HP 289 engines.
ect. ect.
"Canadian Spec" cars and trucks all come with block heaters. (No, that's not toques.)

Hmmmm, a load of actors, singers/songwriters, race car drivers too.
