AHEM!
I'm learning some Canadian vocabulary around here today. Onroutes for example. Never heard of that. Guess I will when I do my cross country tour. & it just goes to show that that trip will be in Canada, except for AK.
I don't understand why folks do cross country and then go into the US for a bit. You know full well you are going to miss important sections of this country that way. & we all know we can take different routes going and coming.
Re. differences and criticisms of the other country, I'm likely to pick up on US residents seeing what's different, thus, inconvenient because unexpected. That's normal too.
But I do think we get better news coverage of everywhere. & many of us know where to tune in to get it.
So, how many of you have been following what happened at Lac Megantic on July 5th? One Canuck friend of mine, who was born on Long Island, expressed deep disappointment at his not seeing or hearing any US coverage of that tragedy. I finally saw it on CNN about 3 or 4 days after the event.
I know that we're both equally proud of our country, even though we show it in different ways.
& yes, I hear les accents francais Canadien in every part of the country I've visited or resided. Please see my map.
