Hes a liar.


Yep. Any decent third generation Canadian could sniff him out, and he has managed to adopt mannerisms that scream not “Canadian” but “upper class snob from Vancouver.”

I’m a Yank who has been in Ontario most of the last 27 years and I’ve never heard anyone refer to a parkade and had no clue what a stratas is. People around here use both washroom and restroom.

There are Canadianisms, but his persepctive is something equivalent to thinking that a 1940’s Philadelphia or Bostonian blue blood was the definition of American.

Anglo Montreal was like this up until the quiet revolution. Canadians certainly can have a condescending smugness at times, but most of them aren’t first class p***ks. However, you can find them in all nations.

Best sign at the gold-medal game in Olympic Hockey some years back: loser keeps Bieber.

Sorry does.

I wondered about those, too. Maybe we’re not ‘woke.’
