Thanks for sharing Antics….They are quite good….

here is another famous question by americans.. :)
Q:Do you still have all 4 seasons?
A:Yes, they are Almost Winter, Winter, Still Winter, 4 months of BAD Skiing

Very good collection - The question I hate when travelling in the USA is "Oh - you're from from Canada , You must know my brother in Toronto then?" I have been seriously asked this kind of question at least a dozen times over the years.

They're priceless antics. Unfortunately, they are not uncommon. Canada remains the cold mysterious North for most of the world.

Those are too funny ..thank you for sharing them with us, antics :)
It is amazing how people that don't live in Canada think that we still live "behind the moon". If they only new how much better we live then people in some european countries.

When I was spending six months in Quebec on a french language course, I told some quebecois that we just got electricity and indoor plumbing in 1985. The sad part is, most believed me!

Yes, it really is sad what people think & believe.
It is atleast only the uneducated & people who don't have any common sense who believe all this.
Anyone with any brains knows that Canada is actually one of the very best countries to live in.
Canada is the 3 largest country by land mass, with several million people .. I think it is around 70 million.
?? not sure now that Russia is broken up is Canada the 2nd largest land mass??

The 2001 census gives the population of Canada at slightly over 30 million. Relative to our land mass, we are very sparsely populated.

I think many of these Q & A were meant for comedy… the most popular question I ecountered while I was a telephone operator and when we went to Phoenix was, "Do you live in igloos or real houses?" People think that we are way up there near the North Pole.

When my sister was a border guard at Regway, she use to get american's in July asking where the snow was (they would have ski's in their cars)Or where do they park their cars and what time do the stage coaches come, and are the Indians restless today, will they attack the stage coaches!! She had a great time at the boarder!!

hells bells antics….too too funny..can't write anymore cause I can't stop laughing..

Thanx antics that really made my day :)
