I often hear how misunderstood Canada is, in the European Union. So when are you French going to give up fur trapping and join the 21st century?

I'm (sadly) willing to contest that.
The Canadian snowbirds have again arrived in South Florida and their mecca is Hallandale Beach with literally hundreds of condos they occupy during the Winter months. I used to frequent an all-you-can-eat restaurant in Hallandale called "Hometown Buffet"
Typically, Sunday brunch is a standing room only 15 minute wait in the crowded corridor into the main dining room. Often, the stench was so bad it ruined the meal.
Now, I'm not saying ALL Canadians have body odor... aye, just maybe, yeah, just maybe the ones who come to Florida in the winter do !!

My first trip to Canada was to Montreal for the Worlds Fair lol A very long time ago and the best part was learning to ask for a Beer in six languages.
