Canadians!! Who'd've thought??!!!

[werner]

I'd have to say during all the years I spent in the US I never heard an American talk about Canada - it was simply an irrelevance

Hmm... I also spent many years in the U.S. (too many years in fact), and found that some Americans obsessed with Canada and Canadians. For example, leftist Americans seems to fantasize about Canada as some type of ideal society with, for instance, low crime rates and wonderful health care for all.

Americans do not seem to know much about the French Canadians, (Québecois). In fact, many Americans do not even realize that French is an official language of Canada. The Québecois have their own special hang-ups about Americans and about people that speak French with European (or African) accents.

I'd agree if you'd used the word "care" rather than "know"

This is an interesting discussion for some of us.

But doesn't this belong in "Everything Else" rather than "Gay Thailand"?

Did you read the original post? It states a finding reported in a Thai newspaper that Canadians are the most numerous ex-pats in Thailand. However if you want it moved the appropriate way of doing that is to "report" the post to the Mods via the red exclamation mark (!) and suggest where you believe it belongs

Looks like a red,equilateral triangle with a small white "!".

Equilateral? I'm reminded of that Native American geometrical proof "The squaw on the hippopotamus is equal to the sum of the squaws on the other two hides" although purists will argue that the hippopotamus is not native to the Americas. It pays not to over-think these things

Excellent catch! True Mod material! Hopefully Standartenfuhrer takes notice, werner, and your mod application is fast tracked!
