LMAO...then, we will fatten you up with butter tarts, instead. Only in Canada, eh?Oh good gawd almighty. You do know that's not an incentive, right?
Ummm...yeah....I'm going to believe all that from someone who did it because he was p*ssed at his Canadian girlfriend.
He did have a point about it being too cold, though. I'd be heading someplace warm.Ohhhh, you got me with that one....
Canada is not all cold. Some of our provinces are warmer than many of your states meduckie.
Vancouver and Vancouver Island might work. Where are these other provinces you speak of?
You'll have to excuse staro, Ms. Mod. Anything above zero is considered warm to Canadians.........
Good point! I should continue looking at Costa Rica instead.
Very humid....think of your poor hair. Although you could bring Sunny with you, I'm sure the Costa Ricans won't mind........
You may have to brush up on your French Ms. Mod...lol
Forget a brush, I'd need an industrial size paint sprayer!
Have never taken French lessons.Buzz killVery humid....think of your poor hair. Although you could bring Sunny with you, I'm sure the Costa Ricans won't mind........
The Nameless
M-O-O-N - That spells Nameless
I'm pretty much the opposite. Above 75 and I start to feel the discomfort of the warmth.
I like the cool and the darker days that autumn (we don't say fall here) brings. I like the noise of the dead leaves crunching under my feet. I love that you start to see Christmas cards and decorations in the shops and you can sense the build up to Christmas. There is a chain of events that start to occur in the shops here once the kids go back to school - Halloween costumes and decorations appear first (even though I hate it), then before Halloween even gets here we see fireworks in the shops. We celebrate bonfire night on November 5th. The traditional idea was to celebrate the foiling of guy fawkes and his plot to blow up parliament with gunpowder (a fact that annoying Internet renegades seem to forget or ignore when they hide behind his mask - he was a would be terrorist). Communities would build a bonfire and organise fireworks displays and burn effigies of guy fawkes on the fire. After that it's flat out Christmas in the shops. It just all feels cozy.
I can't think of anything about fall that I really like. I guess one trip up the mountain to go see the trees when the colors are nice...
I can't stand being cold and fall is too cold for me. Everything is dying and it just means it's going to start snowing soon. I hate snow. The next eight months need to hurry up and fly by already! I'm ready for spring and summer to come back now.

Oh frig off,eh. The sunshine coast hardly ever gets any snow. You jeezer, you.
Down east is not that cold. They get lots of rain and fog. Last year, we did not get much of a winter in Alberta, either. Pissed me right off!!!!
I love fall just not what comes next...winter has become too cold for me. The older I get the less I like the winter. Driving is a pain and taking the coat on and off UGH!
Well Marsha if it is good enough for the Royals. no reason why it shouldn't be good enough for you!

Other activities include canoeing, fishing and trip on a historic tall ship.
George and Charlotte will attend a tea party on Thursday joined by children of Canada’s PM Justin Trudeau and his former television presenter wife, Sophie.

Kate is thought to be packing her form-fitting white ski jacket (by brand E and O, with similar styles costing upwards of £500), as well as the £21.99 printed Gap trousers recently worn in Cornwall.
She’ll take ‘walkable wedges’, including her £45 Fleur shoes from Monsoon, plus Le Chameau wellies (£170), £475 Penelope Chilvers riding boots and Sebago Bala boat shoes (£94.99) for more active engagements.
Joining the pair are royal hairdresser Amanda Cook-Tucker, 53, and supernanny Maria Teresa Turrion Borallo, 45.
The cost of royal tours isn’t revealed beforehand, but their 2011 Canadian trip cost around £690,000 (paid for by the hosts).
You cute lil wimp, you. Snow keeps you looking young, doncha know?
