Canada is a strange country

Sorry for this long absence but I was on a trip in Canada (Montreal to be more specific). I thought you would be interested to know a little bit more about the customs of these people. It's always good to be well informed when going in foreign territories...

#1 Each one pays its bill: yes girls, in case you were expecting to be invited by the handsome blue eye local guy... FORGET! According to advised sources (ie my sister) years of intensive feminism activism got rid of the old fashion prince charming that used to invite you for diner in order to get in your panties. In Canada you will then commonly see the waiter bringing 2 separate bills to a happy couple.

#2 French Canadians are very nice people; for the grumpy/uptight/formal French girl that I am this is actually a very strange feeling. People would tell me "tu" instead of "vous" that is the traditional polite way to address to strangers.

#3 French Canadians LOVE Celine Dion. I will not make further comments on this painful reality.

#4 French Canadians don't speak English; I guess this is the only common characteristic shared with French people

#5 French Canada promotes immigration on TV (I think it's cool!)

#6 There are dangerous animals in Canada; if you think that Canada is not dangerous... well it is! Beside the bears (very scary) you might also face crazy squirrels, skunks, lots of different annoying bugs, really big mosquitoes...

#7 Canadians are always over prepared; this might have to do with point #6 but it's very common that Canadians (especially if they are on holiday) look like they are prepared to walk 70 days in a dry hostile desert
