Just Between You and Me, if it wasn’t for Canada I would have been easy fodder for the Gypsy Queen with no one to warn me that she was coming.
(“Look! A Hippy!” Easy to forget that by the early 80s, their numbers had dwindled to near extinction before eventually rebounding when the ecosystem returned to a more favorable climate)
(Turns out that song was written by yet another Canadian, who kinda looks like a hobbit. Just like the gypsy woman foretold…)

Keep in mind that what the kid has is a claim, nothing more. So far there’s a total lack of evidence to back it up.

If it weren’t for Canadians being supernice at all times, my daughter would not have developed a theory that the reason Canadians were so very nice, was because they take all their hate and anger, stuff them into Canadian Geese and send those fuckers south. (@Missy_Pants, please confirm or deny).

I grew up in South Dakota, about a mile from a lake that was a major stoppoing point on the southern migration. It was quite a treat to see the skies filled for weeks; we’d hear onking from overhear and come out to see the V’s going by. We’d go over to the lake and watch them on the water. Suddenly, one side would take flight, and a wave-front would propagate throughout the enormous flock, the last birds taking flight as the first had already begun to settle.

Are you from the west? Cuz shits different on the prairies…
Edit: yes, yes you are, but barely… I got made fun of a LOT for my “Ontario” accent when I lived in Calgary.
