Yeah! We've got a few bones to pick with those Easterners. They drive up our Hydro rates, tax us to death on road taxes (ever drive our NWO roads?) and turn our hunting and fishing into rich-man sports with freaking permits. They even try to make me get a permit to cut down a freaking tree! [Mad] Yeah right...

And if that's not enough, they went and outlawed studded tires. Something about wearing out our roads (gravel)???

Shawn,

Les seems to now recognize that we have at least 3 provinces - Northern Ontario, Southern Ontario & Eastern Ontario. And we say Americans are insular. [Big Grin]

rofl - well - just for the record - i'm not from Toronto ... i'm from Brampton ... which isn't Toronto. I may WORK in Toronto ... but I'm not FROM Toronto. In fact, Brampton is WEST of Toronto ... you might say its in the province of Western Ontario.

To clarify this whole North West South East thing, I'm from NorthWest Ontario (NWO). It is designated by drawing a line due North at Sault Ste. Marie. Anyone East of there are Easterners. As for South of me, a couple of kliks and I'm in the US of A.

In Southern Ontario, they consider North Bay to be Northern Ontario (not to be confused with NWO). Actually, I think many there consider Barrie as Northern Ontario.

We were making in-jokes. While Canada has 10 provinces, Ontario is physically, economically & population wise just over a 1/3 of the country. Many Canadians outside of Ontario seem to feel we are pampered know-it-alls who dictate how the rest of the country is run. Also, in Ontario, half the population of the province lives in 1 city - Toronto. So you can imagine non-Torontonians opinion of Toronto.

Les is just expressing the typical Canadian angst against Central Ontario & Shawn is distancing himself from the evil city that we all love to hate.

Beware this is my opinion only - Shawn, Les, & other Canadians might offer a different spin. [Big Grin]

PS: Yes, I have watched SouthPark & I thought it had a Canadian type of humour even if it is Americian.

Wazzup guys?

Not sure if a rookie like me is allowed to speak in here, but i guess i'll find out pretty soon.

I've noticed that only three nationalities are represented here, Finland, USA and Canada...How come?
Well I'm from Amsterdam in the Netherlands, Hi! [Big Grin]

Brian:

You can put me on your list, too, since I can add the German nationality to it. However, since I am in the US, does that mean I count for two?

Jens,
That'd depend on whether you retain German nationality.

If on the other hand, it is based on place of birth, then I will sport the Hungarian flag.
