so our canadian friends can enjoy our independence as much as the rest of us... It's TALKING TO AMERICANS! (click here)

He used to be on made in Canada, that's where I know him from that show is hilarious!

Now he does the Rick Mercer Report. He's a laugh riot, and an excellent example of the Newfoundland accent. One thing about Canada, any Canadian can tell where another Canadian is from by their accent. When I was in Winnipeg, I stepped out of the car and simply said, "hey, how're you doing? Thanks so much," and he said "Welcome, all the way from Toronto, huh?" Ah, Canada. I guess all countries are like that

That was some damn funny bull. ROFL Think before you say anything on camera Americans...

I've never heard of Rick Mercer before. He's really funny though. Hmm... Actually I think someone mentioned him to me before.

He's big in Canada apparently, he's pretty funny, that clip I linked was from a show called "This hour has 22 minutes" which was a spoof news show similar to the daily show but a bit more wacky...

TN we're a little like that but not so specific, for example no one can tell exactly where I'm from, Oregonians, Idahoers, Californians and Washingtonians all recognize me as a foreigner, everyone else in the country thinks I'm from the west coast... ok so near Toronto do those with a heavy accent, instead of saying "Aboot" like most americans think say, "Aboat" ?

Alright my cute and fuzzy buddies, I'm out for the night. Books to read, poems to write, and quotes to mull over. See you all tomorrow.

LOL...indeed not. I have yet to hear any Canadian say, "aboot". I guess the most sterotypical Canadian accent is the east coast/maritime accent, it's quite distinctive. A girlfriend of mine is from Newfoundland and her accent is so thick whole words sound different. One time when we had enjoyed a few drinks and we could barely figure out what she was saying at all! It's hard to describe what a Toronto accent sounds like. Nothing spectacular in my mind, but then you go a few hours north and you hear how they speak with a northern Ontario accent and you start to hear your own. Funny how these things work.

Night, artsy!

MY relatives who live so far north in michigan that they are practically canadian say "Aboat" all the time...

*grins* well, I guess that's just part of the American charm

and they keep talking about those dang moose!

LOL...those wacky moose!

"Suck it, I gave him fifteen! Yeah, yeah YEAH!!!!"
