I recently visited Canada for the first time during my honeymoon. This is what I leanred:
It isn't cold, it's freezing. I now know the difference.
Canadian INS are unbeleivaby entertained by a suitcase full of various sex toys.
They are not so entertained by pocket knifes.
The beer ISN'T as strong as everyone says, but it is good.
Canada doesn't have a one dollar bill, but there is a coin.
$1US = $2CAN.  )
All and all, I thought it to be a wonderful place.

Well it is the coldest winter on record for years and so I have to agree it is f*cking freezing 
Beer is as strong as you like it to be. We have a wide range of alcohol content ranging to 12 percent (I believe)
We dont have dollar bills nor do we have 2 dollar bills and I just exchanged Canadian currency into American today for a trip I am taking and your dollar is worth about 46 percent more than the Canadian dollar.........lol but then what do you expect when we call our dollars "loonies" 
AND glad you liked it here in spite of the cold!!!!

I was cleaning out some old e-mail and found this. Thought it was good for a few chuckles...
So, what do Canadians have to be proud of?
1. Smarties
2. Crispy Crunch & Coffee Crisp
3. The size of our footballs fields and one less Down
4. Lacrosse is Canadian
5. Hockey is Canadian
6. Basketball is Canadian
7. Mr. Dress-up kicks Mr. Rogers butt
8. Tim Hortons kicks Dunkin' Donuts butt
9. Canada has the largest French population that never
surrendered to Germany.
10. We have the largest English population that never
ever surrendered or withdrew during any war to anyone, anywhere.
11. Our civil war was a bar fight that lasted a little
over an hour.
12. We knew plaid was cool way before Seattle caught on.
13. We still know what to do with all the parts of a
buffalo.
14. We invented ski-doos, jet-skis, velcro, zippers,
insulin, penicillin, zambonis, the telephone and short wave radios
that save countless lives each year.
15. We ALL have frozen our tongues to something metal and
lived to tell about it.
BUT MOST IMPORTANT!
16. ....the handles on our beer cases are big enough to
fit your hands with mitts on.
OOOOoohhhhh Canada!!
Oh yeah, and our elections only take one day.

Did you know........Ottawa is the tulip capital of Canada?
Tulip bulbs are presented every year to Ottawa by the Royal Family of the Netherlands. Queen Beatrix was born in Ottawa during WW2. So she would not be born a Canadian citizen the wing of the hospital in which she was born was deemed diplomatically to be part of the Netherlands (ala peanut butter sandwiches I guess LOL) thus she was born a Dutch citizen!!! In thanks, thousands of tulip bulbs were presented to the city and subsequently each year since........
