Život u Kanadi. Općenito. Hmm... ovisi o kojoj provinciji je riječ, ali recimo da je compared to US of A malo bolje što zbog humaniju socijalnu politiku što zbog kriminala koji je znatno manji (uslovno rečeno) što zbog znatno većeg evropskog utjecaja... Uzmimo Quebec kao primjer, prekrasna provincija, Montreal je prekrasan proevropski grad, City of Quebec također, svi koji dolaze sa ove strane svijeta (EU) bi se mogli vrlo lako uklopiti u tom way of life.
Canada ima dušu, ima planine, ima ogromne vodene resurse (just sayin'), ima beavers, ima squirrels, raccoons i ima hockey. I naravno neizostavni maple syrup

. A bome i neizostavni snijeg. And I mean loads of it.
British Columbia je isto prekrasna provincija na zapadu zemlje, s puno prirodnih ljepota i s jednim od najvećih kanadskih gradova - Vancouver.
Toronto je već druga priča, veliki melting pot, centar zbivanja, dom jednog od najrenomiranijih filmskih festivala, bogat night life... i da, propisnu kavu tipa espresso and the like možeš popiti samo u Little Italy - talijanski kvart. Ak ti se ne da svakog dana ići specijalno u L.I. ili ne možeš si priuštiti vlastitu ortodoksnu espresso mašinu onda ćeš se morati priviknuti na onu vruću polutransparentnu smeđu tekućinu koju ljudi u tom dijelu svijeta nazivaju kavom i piju je u galonima. Ali g-a-l-o-n-i-m-a. Imaš puno kvartova koji pripadaju određenoj etničkoj zajednici. Trebam li spominjati da je hrvatska zajednica jedna od većih i utjecajnijih u provinciji Ontario općenito, ali naročito u Toronto.
Što se tiče života LGBT zajednice ne bih mogla ništa specijalno elaborirati osim generalni utisak da su ljudi (svi općenito) jako puno tolerantni u svakom smislu, što i objašnjava tako dug opstanak i koegzistenciju toliko puno različitih etniciteta i društvenih skupina. I naravno svi su različiti, ali svi su Kanađani i ponose se time. I da, Americans su low class baseball playing losers. Just for the record

Ok, da zaokružim pričicu...

(O Canada! We stand on guard, for thee)
(O Canada!)
(O Canada!)
(O Canada!)
(O Canada!)
I told this guy where I was from
He said "oh, Canada"
Kind of laughed it off, real funny, huh?
Yeah, uh, come on
One two, one two
Mic. check, one two, one two
Yeah
Uh, yeah, from the land of the lost, Trans-Canada cross
Patriotic and I honor with my hand on my heart
From the greatest of lakes to the greenest of greens
To the rockiest mountains and everything in between
(Oh, oh), oh Canada, oh you no fan of us
'Cause our movies and TV shows are so amateur? (ha)
Yes we laugh it off, that don't really bother me
Look we ain't serious unless we really got to be
Humorous attitude like Kidz In The Hall
Or Jim Carrey, Mike Myers, hell we claimin 'em all
It's the great white north, home of the funniest actors (O Canada!)
The butt of the joke with an abundance of laughter
The red and white flag, keep it high, keep it visual
People say Canada and get stereotypical
Think we finish every sentence with "buddy" or "bye"
And if it ain't that, it's either "dude, " "eh, " or "guy"
Canadaka eh, yeah we considerate people
And smokin marijuana, we consider it legal
Still doin rap like the 1990's
But that's how we like it, off time20 and grimy
I know where I'm from and I told ya before
North of America, hard to ignore
Every time I go away I tell them for sure
I'm from Canada, oh-oh-oh Canada
Oh Canada, oh-oh-oh Canada
I'm from Canada, oh-oh-oh Canada
When Class makes a sick beat, we call it a classic
I've been around the globe and heard the confusion
Honestly a lot of y'all are ignorant and stupid
Yes, we have microwaves, TVs and cell phones
Unintelligent fuck, we invented the telephone
We made Yahtzee, the lightbulb, hockey
And bred the greatest players - Gretzky to Crosby
We all got at least one drinking buddy
And after one drink, all of us think we're funny (O Canada!)
Our national mascot's a damn beaver
Oh Canada, we love our beaver (O Canada!)
Home of Hells Angels and RCMP
Home of Gordon Lightfoot and SCTV
No doubt, the underground railroad
Georges St-Pierre, right here is where he call home
Our health care system, y'all know it's free
Keep our girls bangin with a full mouth of teeth
I won't even get into the music industry
They say hip hop is dead, nah it's up north with me
I could do this all day, it's a part of my routine
But supper's almost done and tonight - poutine!
I know where I'm from and I told ya before
North of America, hard to ignore
Every time I go away I tell them for sure
I'm from Canada, oh-oh-oh Canada
(I'm from the east coast of Canada)
O-oh-oh Canada
(I'm from the east, east, east coast)
Yo-yo, no doubt
Yeah I'm from Canada, so sometimes words come out of my mouth like this
Get used to it!
