"My favorite arcane fact about Canada is the Newfoundland time zone, which is somehow 30 minutes different from its neighbors. Gotta love a place like that.

They are a rather ...unique people. You know the reputation Canadians have for pronouncing 'about' like 'aboot' and ending sentences with 'eh'? Many of the people of Newfoundland actually do do that.

It's always a little weird to hear some gorgeous blond with long legs and big ...tracts of land, sound like Bob and Doug MacKenzie.

I'm told that Newfoundlanders are quite touchy about their time zone. Tourists are sometimes advised that if they visit local pubs, they should refrain from asking the locals what time it is.
