And there are liberals and conservatives and Liberals and Conservatives.

What about the labour force? Any primary industry will pay significantly more than minimum wage. (That means more than just the oil industry) Land surveying also pays pretty good. Again, this isn't Alberta. I know that out in Alberta working in a Tim Horton's will get you upwards of $10/hr, but it's not like that out here.

What? How could England possibly have the second best chance? P.S. How are they "guaranteed" into the final? Four years ago, France was the favourite.

I'm gonna have to go with me and say SEX POLICE.

Every time you guys talk about Oshawa and use place names, I think of Toronto. Get your own damn street names.

Meg, between you and Evan, Evan wins sans contest.

I think she's wondering why that part was exposed. I mean, was this a midget standing between your legs that shot you?

What else could a high school graduate do that paid more than that as a starting salary? Keep in mind, this isn't Alberta.

If you were a chick, that would be hot.

I want to be a sex police. That is all.

Douchebag is an excellent term. It lets people know that they are faggots without implying that they are homosexual.

Like I said, 14 bucks an hour as an apprentice electrician. Getting coffee and simple wiring tasks. It's better than earning 8 bucks an hour at Home Depot. EDIT: Hold on. Itchy, are you saying that the sum I'll be earning is sad or that the fact I'll only be earning lots of money is sad? My estimate is only based on the fact my brother did the same program for about half the summer last year (just over a month, I think) and earned that much money. I'm not entirely sure when I'll be starting.

I'll be making enough cash to have some decent spending money at university next year, and it's not as though I'm going to be working seven days a week. I'll also probably be doing a bunch of camping with the family. That's not quite as fun. If only because camping usually has the capacity to suck something fierce.

Me > The rest of you because I'm going to be earning in the neighbourhood of $4000.

Didn't he come pretty close to causing WW3 in the Balkans?

I'm going to be working with this apprentice program through my dad's work. Nothing quite like earning 14 bucks an hour for getting coffee and running wire.

...that's why you're from Hamilton.

Canada isn't the most multicultural country of all... Then who is? ... I would think it would be really difficult to say for sure. To determine you'd pretty much have to count how many cultures are in a given nation but then you'd have difficulty in determining whether or not one group of people can be considered a different culture. For instance in India they've identified like 800 different languages and more than twice as many dialects. There's a variety in religious belief and practice, and so on and so forth. But to someone in the west, they're all just Indian. you could say the same thing about the united states. a californian speaks a different language than a georgian, and they DEFINETLY have different cultures. i think when people think "multicultural" they think "multirace" an east indian from india is still east indian, no matter what language they speak or what part of the country they're from. Sure but whose place is it to make that distinction? I think even if you look at as a question of race rather than culture, there's bound to be all sorts of gray areas that occur. What I mean is that it's kind of unique how in Canada, people vote the country where their family originally immigrated from. Here we see people of Italian background rooting for Italy, Korean-Canadians rooting for korea, etc. There's an immense mix of people each choosing their team to root for. In almost every other country though, you would see them rooting for THAT country. Italians for Italy, Brazilians for Brazil, you get the point. Even if Canada had a team playing in worlds, do you think the majority of Canadians would root for Canada? This is somewhat different, because they are all still from India, making them Indian. Assuming they are fans of World Cup Soccer, think there are a great amount of fans rooting for France there? What about England? India would mostlikely still be their country of choice. When you've spent your life having to sit around while all your older relatives talked in Italian to each other, you'd understand why people whose parents and grandparents are from Italy cheer for Italy in soccer. There's nothing weird about it. It's the way European society is. Anyone can move to Canada and become a citizen, and become Canadian. But you can't move to Italy, gain citizenship, and be Italian. See: Muslim riots in France last year.

Just to be a dick, I don't really consider the U.S. or Canada to have distinct cultures. The U.S. is a country, not a nation. Tibet is a nation but not a country. See? The reason why I don't consider North America to have a distinct culture is because a culture needs to be interesting somehow. We spend our time commuting from a cookie cutter neighbourhood in the suburbs to a downtown desk job and back at night. In between we eat food made primarily of some sort of polymer. Everything distinctive about North American society exists only because of convenience, not because of history.

Yes. That was amazing.

Yes. I'm typing this with one hand.

Canada isn't the most multicultural country of all... Then who is? P.S. Half the reason I'm getting that ridiculous jersey is so I can wear it around town and piss people off. Not too many Dutch people in Toronto, I can tell you that. Most of them were dairy farmers when they came here after WWII.

I once shoved my entire fist into my mouth.
