At your service from the land of the chill

A genuine Canadian man

And baby that's me
I'll salute you as long as need be
Your genuine Canadian man

Well it's hush hush while I mush mush
My dog sled made for two
It's cold outside
But ooh what a ride
To the warmth of my igloo

Warm and dry
We'll be sipping on cola and rye
Then I'll bake you an eskimo pie
Your genuine Canadian man

Well we'll ride and glide over the great divide
On my 95 skidoo
Sweet honey child it's the call of the wild
When I'm callin' you oooo ooooo

Canadian man
That's me the ice breaker supreme
Forget your American dream
And wake up to Canadian man

And wake up to Canadian man
And wake up to Canadian man

Born and raised in Montreal.

[Jenna]

South US, it IS pretty friendly, though. (we have a mix- southeastern Americans, Canadians who migrate, NY/NJ people who migrate, and middleofthecountry people who migrate... Some for permanence, some on and off throughout the year, we call them 'snowbirds'. Not as a direct reference to or towards anyone at these forums, but the people who come here from the middle of the country I find to be the least friendly of us... As well as strangely awkward and prudish, and gossipy. But such is found all over. As an even measure, the northeastern Americans come to disrupt the balance of our peaceful Floridian lives, because 'That's not how we do it in New Yawk.') I'm looking to go to BC... For permanence, soon, and I hear nothing but wonderful things.

You are from Florida. Wow, good luck with the move to Canada. I guess BC ain't that bad for weather, because it's on the Ocean, but everywhere else(besides the Maritimes of course), suck ass in the winter.

[Jenna]

Aye, Ill be just fine. I'm the first to ridicule the people around me who shiver in the slightest bit of cold. I lived the first ten years of my life in North US (the hellhole of the earth, Long Island) and it was an honestly disgusting place, but also relatively cold. (Most people would never tell I was from there meeting me, though... I don't speak like a NooYawkuh.) I have an affinity to cold weather, and I really, really miss snow.

I do much better with cold weather than hot.

And the people weren't mean or anything... Just wouldn't call the people I met friendly as a whole.

Where was I? I was in Richmond for a bit, then I stayed down town. I walked around downtown A LOT. (And I saw some gigantic gathering of Chinese rioters carrying flags. I have no idea what over, but it was awesome!! :( ) And... I took frequent trips to Kitsilano... Since that's the area I'm looking to move into.

And the people weren't mean or anything... Just wouldn't call the people I met friendly as a whole. Sure, they'd smile if you were giving them business, but the people on the streets were cold and afraid to return a nod, or anything. It was a cold environment. (No joke intended- It snowed, it was great! :joy: )

Richmond is our equiv to China Town, now adays. But downtown is generally a cold environment. I'm personally about 5 minutes from Kits, but I don't really go out around there. If you walk around my neighborhood, though, everyone is smiles and nods, even if they don't know you, or you them.

Besides, failing to nod to a stranger on the sidewalk is not the exactly what I'd say is unfriendly.

Ahaha, it's not so much that. Just as a whole. Possibly the friendliest person I'd met downtown was when I was walking down Davie St. and someone had a ****er spaniel I'd seen the day before, and she'd remembered, too. She and her dog were waiting for her boyfriend outside of a store, and we chatted, a little bit... Basically mentioning, 'Oh, I'm from Florida.' And then not much later, he boyfriend came out and gave my friend and I a look like, 'Wtf are you talking to my girlfriend for? We don't know you...'

Among other instances. It seems like in their minds, 'hello' leads to begging, and there's no reason to break your schedule in whatever you could be walking to to return a nod, a smile, a hello... Anything. I can't explain superwell, it just seemed cold.

Though I'm glad to hear the above! Maybe this is my perception because I come from a place where people just driving by wave to strangers, etc. When my parents from New York moved here and people started smiling, nodding and saying hello to them, they got nervous. 'Am I supposed to know this person?' That, or they were scared by it.

That is really, really sad. My parents have adjusted and enjoy it, but it's the mindset that they used to hold that seems to be the norm in the city.

I only spent like, one night in Richmond. I was in a hotel overlooking a 'Rona', and it snowed. (I was so happy.) The people there, at least in that hotel... I don't know. Aside from the hotel clerks, no one really spoke English, or wanted to, or... something. ._.;; (But I'm fairly sure they were just foreign guests.) I walked around in Kits, and I went into 2 stores and I hit the beach... In the freezing cold. XD But it was great. Those stores were a thrift furniture/clothing/etc. store, the other a renaissance costuming store (oh joy~:joy:) Both were run by women, and they were friendly enough... But I was giving them business. I like to think that the people out in Kits are friendlier than downtown. I like to think it's just downtown. XD;

Not a lot of people speak english in richmond, really. It's sad. If you ever return, check out the Dunbar/UBC area. Much more friendly, yesh.

What do they speak? Canadian?

[Toasty]

French

[Eugine]

Why are Canadians speaking French? French speaks French!

[Toasty]

Because French people settled the land? I dunno. I just know that English and French are the two main languages in Canada.

[Mallick]

The ignorance you all bring into this topic is suffocating.

[Someone Else]

Yeah... before England went imperialist the most common language was French. There's lots of people who speak French besides France. Places in Africa speak French for crying out loud.

C'est la vie.
