Ya I really love sorting through US Money - having to pick through very carefully to make sure I gave someone a $1 bill and not a $20.
I will keep our multicoloured money thanks.

Sounds a lot like Melbourne, which has the 3rd largest Italian population and 4th largest Greek population in any city, including Italy and Greece.
Lots of real Vietnamese food also.
Americans can't even do a Big Mac right. (shrug)

I have a real problem picking up on the different combinations that can be achieved with the creative use of ten different digits.
Especially when there's as many as 6 different variations!

Don't worry, we've had presidents that couldn't speak either.

Hooters has 'em.
I'm not sure I'm allowed into Canukistan with a DUI on my record.

Yep, I can see that: got to allow for the mentally deficient.

Who the hell goes to Hooters for the food?
Of course Canadians won't go to Hooters'. Like everything else up there is America Lite, so is their Hooter's...

At this point in the discussion, on behalf of all Canadians, I would like to extend an olive branch to our neighbours to the south.
I hereby invite the USA to become the eleventh province.
You'll be below Ontario but above Quebec on the likeability scale.
No need to thank me.

Dood. I've had Labatt's. If that's the best y'all can do...

Better yet: y'all can become East Alaska. Socially etc you'll slot in somewhere between Mississippi and Alabama.

Whats a "province"? Is that like a township or something?

Its kinda like if you added about 10 or 12 states together to create a useful landmass.

Not even close to the best. Labatts is an excellent colon cleanser, though.
This is a lovely thing on a warm afternoon:
Just a note on the original topic, if we can step back for a moment. I ordered a set of BFG Rivals from Tire Rack yesterday, which is Tuesday. They are scheduled for delivery on Friday by end of business. The invoice includes tires, federal sales tax, provincial sales tax, brokerage, and the Saskatchewan Scrap Tire levy of $4.00 per tire. They will be sitting on my back deck when I get home on Friday.
This is a company that has their ducks seriously in a row, and all their E36 M3 is together as it is possible to be, and there is no good reason why other people can't sell me what I want just as easily.

No, the problem with Hooters in Canada, and why Canadians don't go there is this..
In Canada Hooters is, Way too Damn EXPENSIVE COMPARED TO CANADIAN ALTERNATIVES...
Hooters in Canada, is a place for American tourists to go to, just like Denny's, I.H.O.P., Applebee's and T.G.I.McScrathy's . These places in the U.S. Aren't ridiculously overpriced.
Unfortunately When you see any of these franchises in Canada. They charge Incredibly ridiculous prices..
Seriously 80$ for 2 people to eat breakfast at Denny's..... Totally, ridiculous.....
The reasoning is this... Tourists like to go to places that are "Familiar"....
Tourists go to those places, and get "Royally, PLOWED UP THE CAN".... Then, the same tourists, "Blame Canada" for the ridiculous prices..
Unfortunately, the company tells the franchisee what to charge. They think of Canada as a Cash Cow because it is not their main market. Ya, the locals may not go there but the tourists will, and pay thru the ass to eat somewhere familiar..

No; Most of us speak English... Well to be honest. All of us speak English. Some of the Frenchies pretend to not speak English if it works to their advantage.
Heck. I ordered NOS ball joints for a 1964 Rambler Classic.
From Turkey.
They got here in 8 days. It is possible to successfully engage in commerce with us, but I do feel your pain, when corporate dictates the rules.
I'm am sorry that you get the mindless Canadian inquiries nonetheless. Cheers!

Hold on there. A good part of my extended family (everyone over 40) doesn't speak a word of english. Actually, until about twenty years ago, if you tried to speak english in the province of Quebec (outside Montreal) you would have been looked at funny.
"The smoking section" has always been an outsider, and seems to like it that way.
As far as Hooters, I don't go there because it's lame. It's lame in the USA and it's lame in Canada. Around here, you can get a really good meal served by some VERY scandely dressed ladies.
