Last Nights Live feeds... Kelsey said she needed a Mickey to get as drunk as she wanted to be.... So what's a Mickey you might ask?? :shrug:

A term used by 88% of Canadians for a 375 ml bottle of liquor,

In the United States, the term “mickey” is slang term for a date rape drug, and 69% of Americans were unaware of its more benign Canadian usage. Mickey is actually one of a series of uniquely Canadian booze measurements. “Two four” (a case of 24 beers), “twenty sixer” (a 750 ml bottle of liquor) and “forty-pounder” (a 1.14 liter bottle of liquor) are all virtually unknown outside the Great White North.

Great thread :amazed:

Loving the Homo milk :clap1:

But back to the thread, I love South Park however they make fun of Canada a lot, do Canadians hate that?

Also, I went to Canada once (only for a day) to the Canadian side of Niagara falls. I don't have a point, I'm just boasting about it :whistle:

Jamie89 07-03-2016 06:42 AM

^ Although actually, that being said, what would you say is Canada's biggest tourist attraction?

:joker: Honestly... I think first and foremost... Canadians love to have a good laugh at themselves... but also, I think we all secretly love it when Americans acknowledge our existence in TV or movies... Like Robin Sparkles in HIMYM

Many would say Niagara Falls, or the CN Tower in Toronto...

but I am a Westerner.. so I choose to think it's Banff National Park :smug:

Canada is so huge though... I don't know how one would decide

I mean... it could be this very large Ukrainian Easter Egg... :shrug:

I was on holiday in New York and we took a flight over to Canada just to see Niagara Falls (which was amazing). We went on a boat ride at the bottom of the falls too, looking up at it from below was pretty immense. I always forget I've been though (no shade against Canada :laugh:) because we just spent the day around the falls so it wasn't really a proper 'let's see Canada' type of thing. If I ever went back though, Banff National Park looks stunning. I love hiking and mountains and stuff so that would be right up my street. (But then again I also love giant Easter eggs :drool:)

I think you will find this link to your liking LT...

It explains in detail that we have had an El Niņo Canadian winter here, and for my part of Canada it has meant that we didn't ever get below -30 this winter... and typically in January and February we get a few weeks of -30 to -40 temperatures over the last few years. It is also true that we have probably had very low records of snow fall... so here's hoping for a wet spring, otherwise the farmers are going to be hooped.
