I never saw her eat bacon. I'm just saying. Would you mind taking a picture of the Mounted Calvary? That might the only reason I feel compelled to migrate north... and pledge allegiance to their uniform. I MEAN flag! My roommate senrior year of college was Canadian. I never saw her eat bacon.

Though I do feel the need to point out that no Canadian I know (and since I live here I do know a fair many, though probably not your brother's uncle's best friend's sister's nanny living in Toronto) says "you betcha" and "don'tcha know". I've travelled a lot in the States and certainly noticed the lovely folks in Minnesota using those expressions a fair bit. Regardless, I hope you have a warm welcome, find compassion for many, many children, and keep your toes toasty warm. Try a beaver tail while you're oot and aboot, eh?! Welcome, eh!
