Dear fellow white Canadians, We are a friendly bunch, described as ‘nice’ by folks from all around the world. We wear toques! We own chesterfields! (Does anyone even call them that anymore?) We lay claim to Canadian celebrities on impulse, regardless of the context! We are either extremely proud of Tim Horton’s or we just don’t get why that has to be the definitive Canadian thing (and isn’t it owned by an American company now?). We talk about the intense extremes of our weather, from six feet of snow in Manitoba to ice storms off the Eastern coast to raging forest fires throughout B.C. Our national sport is hockey and even if an American team wins, most of the players will be Canadian, so Canada still always wins (Okay, sometimes Russia wins).
