It's nice to see that not everyone in Canada is a wimpy border hugger

Hell, no. Up here men are men and they have parkas and mittens year round, just in case!
Often, the second is pinned to the first so we don't lose them.

Canada Day to be green, entertaining ... and very royal
To be more environmentally friendly, they should have canceled it this year And I'm sure the Queen would be glad to have one less function to go to

To Quebec's credit, they are putting Ottawa's tulip festival to shame:

Quebecers often swim to Europe during the summer, so they need the protein.

Yes but not intentionally. They go to the beach, wander into the water after plenty of beer and poutine, and within seconds they've lost their directions. After months of swimming in open water, they head for the sounds of French, the closest living language to Quebecois, and beach themselves and Normandy.

Some delicacies to try on a cross Canada tour.
Sinful foods from coast to coast
Katherine Scarrow, Yahoo! Canada News
Fri Jun 11, 2010
While some people furiously work out to get back to a beach body, others bide their time dreaming of the glut of street eats they might sample this summer at many of Canada's major events.
Whether you're in the first or second group, here are some of our tastiest - and nutritionally deplete treats to try out or avoid.
Halifax Donair
If you happen to be in Halifax, N.S. this summer, don't miss the chance to sink your teeth into a juicy doner kebab (known as 'the Donair' to locals). Born in the 1970s, the Atlantic Canada staple features beef instead of lamb and garlic sauce instead of taztsiki. The meat, made of a combination of ground beef, flour or bread crumbs and spices, is sliced from a vertical spit and topped with a sauce made from evaporated milk, sugar, vinegar and garlic. It's then wrapped in a flat-bread pita and served with diced tomato and onion. (Calories: 407, Fat: 9g)
Montreal Poutine
Poutine is widely available across Canada, but if you're going to eat it right, why not go to the source? If you happen to be strolling Montreal streets this summer, treat yourself to a batch of French Canada's finest. The variations may be endless - Italian with bolognese instead of gravy and Greek using feta and warm Mediterranean vinaigrette - but the original never disappoints. The deliciously messy combination comes to life when medium-cut fries are topped with fresh cheese curd and light chicken, veal or turkey gravy. (Calories: 700, Fat: 41g for a large)
Toronto Fried Coke
The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) has evolved since its debut in 1878, and so has the junk food. While foot-long dogs, Tiny Tom Donuts, candied apples, funnel cakes, corn dogs and other carnival standards are still available at the Ex, there's a new crop of belt-busters sure to delight (or disgust you). You may be familiar with the deep-fried Mars Bars, a quirky Scottish concoction invented in the 1990s? It has since opened the door to fried Snickers, Creme Eggs and even Oreos. But have you heard of Fried Coke? The bizarre concoction, which features deep-friend frozen Coca-Cola-flavoured batter, syrup, whipped cream, cinnamon sugar and a cherry, has been a sinful smash hit at the Ex since its debut at the Texas State Fair in 2006. (Calories: 830, Fat: 40g)
Winnipeg Kubusa/Kielbasa
If you're planning to rock 'The Peg' in the next couple of months, be sure to rock the kubusa. The ready-to-eat Eastern European pork garlic sausage, served on a hot dog bun, is widely available and always delicious. Be sure to get it with a side of dill pickles and cheddar and sour cream Old Dutch chips. And, if you're planning a road trip to the West, don't miss the world's largest garlic sausage in [URL="http://ca.search.yahoo.com/search?p=mundare+alberta&ei=UTF-8&fr=moz35"]Mundare, Alta. (Calories: 286, Fat: 23g)
Calgary's Mac n' Cheese Triangles
Everything about the Calgary Stampede is extreme - even the food. If you're not mowing down smashed chili cheese potatoes[/URL], turkey legs or Pineapple dole whip, you're venturing into less-charted territory, like the mac n' cheese realm. Unlike pogo sticks or corn on the cob, the childhood comfort food has always been restricted by the plate and fork. The Stampede's deep-fried mac n' cheese triangles marry 'gooey' and 'crispy' to perfection in a tidy little package. (Calories: 572, Fat: 32.8g)
Wiggle Chips in Vancouver
A staple at the Pacific National Exhibition, Wiggle Chips put ordinary potato chips to shame. For $5, you can get two bags of sliced and fried potatoes served fresh and hot. And with a little spice - like dill, cheddar cheese, garlic, salt or vinegar - you've got yourself a tasty treat hot out of the fryer. (Calories: 200, Fat: 12g)
