LOL! I remember Mr. Dress Up! I used to watch him and the Friendly Giant when visiting my grandmother up there.
My American roots still proclaim Zee though. I know, I know, damn Yanks.
Bought my mother a t-shirt while up there recently. Can't remember everything it said but it went along the lines of "I am Canadian. I live in the second largest country in the world. No, I do not live in an igloo. Yes, winter is only one season. No, I do not know your second cousin John in Saskatoon. A loonie is a dollar, not a relative [though that one could be both, eh?]. We have the best hockey players in the world."
that T-shirt is, believe it or not, the text from the Joe Canadian ad which made such a splash for Molson Canadian Beer (which is now partially owned by Coors. Irony, you are my friend ;).
here it is on you tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTcZ3lMXVhI And you Must. All. Watch it. Because of this thread. In fact, I may need to cross post to my journal now...
