What’s the equivalent for Canadians: “My girlfriend is in Newfoundland”?

“Alaskan girlfriend”.

Not really, although I have met some really cute Newf girls. We are a bit more overseas-oriented, so it might be “My girlfriend is European/East Asian” depending on the coast. I fibbed a bit - a couple of my girlfriends were Russian, and there were a few times I had wished my girlfriend was Greek or Romanian.

(Edit: Not Russian “mail order” - they had been in Canada for a while.)

I’m calling bullshit, just on unspecified principle. I’m a US citizen. Pics or it didn’t happen.

Ah, but I’m not. These were girls in my university, Concordia U. in Montreal, which was known as the place in the city where immigrants went for higher education (given that McGill had enforced quotas in the previous decade - that reputation stuck with McGill in my time). It was over 40 years ago, well before smartphones, so I haven’t any pics. (I have no pics of myself from that period.) Sorry.

Sorry…it’s a well-known joke here in the States. When someone (usually a teenager) is teased for not having a girl/boyfriend, one way they get around it is to say they DO have one, just long distance, with Canada being the stereotypical location.

Only if they’re lucky. :wink:

Turns out that Conway talked about the “Bowling Green massacre” in an interview with Cosmopolitan magazine four days before she repeated it on Hardball.

Who knew Cosmo had a Politics section? Well, I didn’t. They aren’t pulling punches, either.

I wonder if the author regrets going for such a strong sympathetic angle with her profile of Conway.

Actually, both earlier stories were written by this article’s author.


I smell an editor getting involved here.
