I just read all of this thread, and laughed so hard I almost pee'd my panties. Well metaphorcially, cause not wearing any. I live in BC and right now it is friggen cold. But we are also friggen hot in the summer. Now this is a new fact, (well I think it is a fact), both the driest place and the wettest place in Canada are in British Columbia,
Osoyoos, and Ocean Falls.

I love being Canadian, and I drink Sotch, Dramui and Chilean wines (except for the wines I make myself)..But I do drink Canadian Beer and English, Irish, Blegian, and occasionaly American...

But in the US they have something we don't have or is hard to find...Good Mexican Food!
