I guess I should be grateful that my grandfather was French Canadian... I therefore must have some socially redeeming qualities harboring in my genes. I think that Canadians have to be hardy to live where it is so cold! Floridians tend to be very laid back because of the heat. I so enjoy visiting North Dakota and Minnesota whre I have family in the summer!
We are very laid back too.. But yah heat has something to do with it too.. British Columbia, one of our warmest provinces especially.. and really when I say warm I mean warm, I used to live there and the one time it snowed on christmas in my town was the first time in sixty years...
