Here, here, eh, eh, I second your motion Jacki to make Team MLT honourary Canuckers for a day! It’s official when two Canuckers agree on that!

Thanks David! 🙂 That infographics is missing Tim Hortons though. 🙂 -
Sorry “aboot” that, Jung. I hope this makes up for it:
-
Thanks EH, Jung and David….You’re forgetting Bob and Doug MacKenzie….beavertails, John Candy, , etc…???❤

Well, Jacki, I did come across this:
-
Good one David…lol…funny stuff EH…gotta luv Red Green’s ” Keep Your Sticks one the Ice “, saying….
-
My sister lives in Nova Scotia so I’m Canadian by proxy I guess.

David, good one! You haven’t experienced all of Canada until you’ve tried Timmy’s Timbits, next time you’re in Canada! I guarantee you can’t stop with just one. 🙂
Michael, that makes you one of us. Hope you had a nice Canada Day too! 🙂

My next-door neighbor is from Newfoundland. The first time I spoke with him I noticed that his accent sounded a lot more Irish than Canadian, and he said that a lot of Newfoundlanders are descended from Irish immigrants. It kind of makes sense when you look at a globe: the Atlantic is pretty narrow at that latitude.
Jung, I have yet to visit Canada, unless you count looking down on Toronto during a flight from Boston to Chicago. I had never even heard of Tim Horton’s until I joined this club and saw Jacki mention it. I gather it’s the equivalent of Starbucks in the U.S. Those little doughnut thingies look delicious, so I guess it’s time to file my passport application.

David, the whole Maritime provinces area (Newfoundland, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island) are beautiful, quaint and charming. Went through the area for the first time last autumn on the cruise. Pretty colored buildings, beautiful countryside and antiquated light houses, and friendly kind people stand out for me. The Canadian Rockies (Banff, Jasper AB) or the Maritime provinces are places I would highly recommend for any first Canadian visit starting points. Vancouver and Ottawa are pretty cool too! 🙂
Yes Tim Horton’s is a very Canadian institution, they are everywhere in Canada. When the Canadian Forces were deployed in Afghanistan, Tim Horton’s was there too at the base for the soldiers, which says a lot about how deeply rooted it is in Canada! As for coffee I prefer Starbucks, but those Timbits and colourful doughnuts get me going to Tim Hortons. 🙂

Thanks for those travel suggestions, Jung. I’m looking forward to making the trip someday, but first I’ve got five more states in the northwestern U.S. to visit, and then I’ll expand my horizons internationally as a reward for earning my geographical merit badge.

Speaking of Timbits, there is a cereal now out about them…lol
And before my nut allergies, eating those timbits was a daily occurrence, especially buying the 10 or 20 pack, depending on my hunger…lol…I’d go for the chocolate, honey dipped, powdered raspberry mix for my pack enjoyment…alas, I can now only cherish the memories, as they use nuts in some of their products, therefore the cross contamination , and products themselves are a threat to me, so I only have English Breakfast Tea, or Orange Pekoe tea from them nowadays…. or have a small sized carton of chocolate milk….☕?????….
As for travelling …I’ve only ever gone to Syracuse/ Watertown ,Oswego,Ogdensburg NY area for daytrip shopping, car races in Oswego…that’s my USA extent of travels, that was over 25-45 yrs ago since I last been to those areas…. Within Canada, I’ve been to Montreal, Quebec a few times, Toronto, Niagra Falls(Canaduan side ), Oakville, Hamilton, Burlington, Bronte Harbour,Kingston… I do have fond memories when younger when my parents and I, later just Dad and I would go for either Saturday or Sunday drives, mostly on Sundays, explore driving through the different towns, in the corridor between Rigaud, Quebec to as far as Napanee, Ontario… the best was having Dad go into unchartered territory, as in never been to a certain town, area before, yet upon returning to head back to Ottawa, he’d manage to find a familiar road, and we find ourselves back on track…ate at some good chip trucks along the way, little diners, ice cream shacks, saw some great scenery, landscape, did some shopping in local store shops in some towns, well, Mom and I would enjoy that part…lol…or simply stopping off at a cute little ice cream/local dairy store we use to frequent in summer, out near where relatives live in rural area ( they farm), and buy an ice cream cone, 2 bags of fresh local made curd cheese, ( white or orange or a bag of each )… Dad and I pretty much devoured one bag en route home, Mom had a little …then other bag was to be gone by middle of week…my older brothers to my knowledge still don’t eat curds, but I still do…it’s still local area made that is sold in main big chain grocery stores, independently owned shops, Rexall Pharmacy stores…Ahh, memories, damn, I miss those times with my parents but at same time cherish and glad we did go on those road trip drives?????
