Back by Popular Demand . . . . . CANADIANA: Part 3!!!
That's right, since someone felt it necessary to say I suck (I'm paraphrasing, of course) because I haven't done this in a while, Professor SomeGuy is back with some more fun facts from above the 49th!
Belief: Canadians don't kill each other.
Fact: Well, we certainly don't kill each other as often as some others do . . . and indeed, Michael Moore's statistics in "Bowling for Columbine" are probably more or less correct . . . but keep in mind, that number was only for fatal shootings. As the famous saying goes, "there's more than one way to skin a cat . . ." Ahem . . . but yeah, I'm in a big city, so murders and stuff do happen. Sorry to burst that bubble.
Belief: Canadian beer is like moonshine!
Fact: It's true, Canadian beer does have a higher alcohol percentage than American beer . . . but JUST BARELY! According to research done by Will and Ian Ferguson (just two brothers who once wrote a book), Canadian and American brewing companies measure their alcohol content differently, so the percentages don't measure up the same . . . as for which tastes better, well . . . . . . hey! Next question!
Belief: Canadians end all their sentences with "eh?".
Fact: I don't think Canadians even think of using this until they're old enough to learn that there is in fact this stereotype. At least, such was the case for me. It's like, you learn that this thing'll make you more Canadianish, so therefore, you start using it proudly . . . if not for anything else but to get that funny giddyness you feel inside when you know you shouldn't be doing what you're doing. It's quite lot of fun to promote these misconceptions, eh?
Belief: Life for Canadians is nothing but hockey and its worship thereof.
Fact: . . . . . . . . . . . well, can't argue with that one, can I? Heehee . . . . .
I'll be sure to get back into my old ways soon enough, everyone. More Canadiana, more Street Philosophy . . . look forward to it now, minna-san!
