Canadian Lessons

Things I learned in or about Canada in roughly chronological order:

1. 1km = .624 miles. When the sign says "80" it means "50".


2. 1 liter = .2642 gallons. "$1.39" = $5/gallon.


3. Sometimes the valet admits it.


4. You can tour Canadian construction zones (at least in Whistler).


5. The Olympics will be much bigger in 2010 than they were in 1988.


6. There's alot of untouched wilderness in Canada.


7. Canadians are serious about hockey.


8. The CFL is not the NFL minor-leagues.


9. Peanut doesn't care. It's his house now and you better let him sleep.


10. Canadian political ads suck too.


11. Goats are not afraid of traffic.


12. The Nitro has passing power.


13. It's easier to enter Canada than the U.S.
