Here comes the resident goalie. I might move to Canada to play juniors if I don't like college.
To start off, has anyone heard that Ed Belfour will not be playing goalie for Team Canada because of his back injury? They're sending in Theodore instead. GrrComment

I have a (maybe stupid) question for Canadians: Are you all taught English and French in primary/secondary school? Or is that only in the eastern part of Canada?
I've taken French up until this coming school year. My teacher did nothing to refresh our language skills, and I've therefore lost a lot of my ability to write it. I understand it quite clearly, but there are so many verb tenses (and that whole masculine/feminine thing ).
Most high schools also offer Spanish from grade 10 and up, and if there are enough students, other languages such as German and Russian.Comment

When I was in school, (Alberta, which is Western Canada) French was mandatory until I believe it was grade six. Might be different now though.

The Molson commercials are my favourite. I hope the Coors merger doesn't affect them!
Have you touched the Lucky Loonie? I got to last summer at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. In fact, I may be going there tomorrow!! And the Royal Canadian Mint is issuing special edition lucky loonies into circulation. I'm hoping to pick one up soonComment

Hehe, I went to the Alexander Keith's brewery in Halifax, NS, and they also had the bar there where they film the commercials. Of course, I wasn't allowed in
I say 'eh?' when asking some question-type sentences (can't believe they did that, eh?) because, in my opinion, it sounds more intelligent than 'huh?', like "can't believe they did that, huh?". I 've always used 'huh?' when I don't understand something, as a simple sound on it's own
Have you guys tried the new Smarties chocolate bar? They have mini Smarties in white or milk chocolate. I tried the milk chocolate because I often find white is a little too sweet for me (and the darker the chocolate, the healthier it is for you). It's pretty good.Comment

The only time I really love white chocolate is when it's with milk chocolate. In Ireland they had this Cadbury bar called "Top Deck" (I still have the wrapper!), and it was the normal squares of milk chocolate, like in a Dairy Bar, but with white chocolate on top. It was to die for! Now the only place that I know sells it is an online store from Australia
But I think some of the best chocolate bars you can find in Canada are by Nestle, especially Coffee CrispComment
