Anti-Canadian Content (Laughing With Us, Not At Us)

My sister was telling me that when she travelled to the Mid-west, she asked for a knife in a restraunt because there wasn't one on the table. Waitress asked her if she was from Canada.

Quebecois variant .....Different pronunciation, tempo, and a lot of slang

Depends on where in the Province you happen to be and among what socio-economic group.

The quality of the language has improved considerably over the last few decades, even to the point exaggeration, where some language proponents try to be "more Catholic than the Pope".

In contrast French in France has undergone considerable deterioration with the addition of numerous "Anglicisms" such as le car, le weekend, stop......

One of the funniest is the use of "les french fries"...

Oh the horror of it all Daniel...:sob:
As it happens your Anti-Canadian poutine drift can be found in your States of Pennsylvania, New York, and Maine. Funny how some northern states speak an acadian french too. Hmmm... :tapfingers:
What I really miss are the southern state grits 'n greens though...:sob:
It counteracts my 20W50.

BTW, a quote from the Internet:

"French toast is way better then Canadian bacon."

 

[Jazzey]

I'm adding some scrunchions for you Daniel..although I don't believe that they can do the vegetarian version...

"French toast is way better then Canadian bacon."

-and I agree, especially if there's some maple syrup involved!

 

[Daniel E.]

I used to like those as a kid

 

[Jazzey]

- I've never been able to try them...I will at some point just for the experience. A friend of mine orders "poutine 'all-dressed'" every time we're in Nfld - which includes the scrunchions... Maybe next time I'm there?

 

[Daniel E.]

Definitely. I think it's Atkins friendly, so it must be healthy

 

[Cat Dancer]

I love Canadians!! You all are such good sports.

Daniel:

"French toast is way better then Canadian bacon." ?
French toast is way better with Canadian bacon!:canadian:
Gee :sob: I suppose this Atkins fellow may just not like my recipe book.

More horror...

Toast Song Lyrics

all around the country coast to coast,
people always say what do you like most,
I don't wanna brag i don't wanna boast,
I always tell 'em I like toast.

yeah TOAST yeah TOAST

i get up in the mornin' bout six AM,
have a little jelly have a little jam,
take a piece of bread put it in the slot,
push down the lever and the wires gets hot,
i get toast.

yeah TOAST yeah TOAST

now there's no secret to toasting perfection,
there's a dial on the side and you make your selection,
push to the dark or the light and then,
if it pops too soon press down again,
make toast.

yeah TOAST yeah TOAST

when the first caveman drove in from the drags,
didn't know what would go with the bacon and the eggs,
must have been a genius got it in his head,
plug the toaster in the wall,
buy a bag of bread,
make toast.

yeah TOAST yeah TOAST

oui monsieur bonjour coquette,
uh huh croissante vous a ver,
maurice chevalier eiffel tower,
oh oui maria baguette bon soir,

FRENCH TOAST FRENCH TOAST​
