Hold open doors for people, and use pleasantries. Show some manners. You're bound to be mistaken for a Canuck!

Funny one of the first things my wife commented on when she moved to Virginia from Montreal is how polite people here were compared to where she was from.
actually there's something to be said there. recently i was reading about a study that showed Canadians are losing some of their politeness, and on average aren't much different than their southern counterparts when it comes to common pleasantries and overall "niceness". it was in the papers a couple weeks back, perhaps someone could find a link. basically, there are nice people & not-nice people everywhere :)

Montreal is in Quebec, where they are elitist seperatists bastards. If I had it my way we'd send our one tank, our one f-16 and our 52 troops to conquer their French asses.

Seriously. Quebecers are quite rude, an exception to the rule.

I think we can both agree there are equally lethal strains on both sides of the border ;)

Buy a Tim Hortons mug & attach it to your bag/backpack/luggage/whatever, and wear a anti-war t-shirt :D.

Anti-Bush t-shirt would help to ;)

OMG, OMG, OMG,.....OMG!

We need a South Park voice tag. It would replace South Park tags in a post with a button readers could click to hear the quoted material read by a South Park character. Or with a bit less work, a South Park character avatar could be inserted into the quote.

So you want to make the Europeans like you? Who cares about them?

You are from America and your job is to make fun of them and ridicule them. Period.

And we're arrived right at where we started, why we need to pretend to be canadians while in europe in the first place.
