Happy Canada Day


I
Here is my list.  BINGO on the top line!!!!!

Slept in a tent - yes but I prefer a four star hotel with a swim up bar.

Eaten Poutine - yes and I think it's disgusting.  Cec loves it!  We had it in Quebec City so it was pretty authentic.

I've been to eight provincial capitals, and Ottawa makes nine.

Yes, I've seen many bears.  Not that I look for them and they scare me!

Yes, we've been north of 60 twice.  Once when we flew to Kotzebu, Alaska and sailed around Iceland.  We have the certificates to prove it.

Seen and sailed the Atlantic Ocean.

Never have we been up the CN Tower.  We were planning on a trip to Eastern Canada this year but unless COVID gets under control in the east, we will have to wait.

I've never played ice hockey but watched many games and love the sport.

Yes, I've experienced -35C quite a few times while visiting Alberta!

Visited many National Parks both in the US and Canada.

I don't remember ever seeing a Grey Jay but I'll have to put that on my list.

Beavertail and Calgary Stampede, I believe both of these in one day.

I've never gone snow shoeing, but I've walked in a lot of snow.

Yes, I've been hissed by a Canada Goose.  Those birds are nasty.

I've seen many whales in the Pacific!

Of course I've had real maple syrup.  It's all I ever buy.  BTW, Costco in the UK carries real Canadian maple syrup.  I wish I knew that after I over packed my luggage.

I've never had a double double.  If you don't know what it is, that's a Tim Horton's coffee with double cream and double sugar.  I drink my coffee black and I love Tim Horton's dark roast coffee.

I've paddled a canoe and seen the Rockies.  

I've never sung the entire anthem in French, but the anthem is sung many times in part English and part French.

If you count a mountain and a lake beach yes, but I don't think that's what they mean.

I'm Canadian, I'm sorry for everything.

Goodbye X, Hello Bluesky

I was driving behind a Tesla and I saw a bumper sticker before the American election that said: "I BOUGHT THIS CAR BEFORE I KNEW WHAT A...
