Hi tng Thanks for reading. Thanks for being you. There are a few other Canadians - mostly friends of mine who lurk occasionally.

The questions that work well at a party of random humans are here. Quite a few people I know print out the questions, cut them up, fold them, and bag 'em.

Unlike the Canada Day questions, these ones are personal. People, including wrenauld have used the linked questions on a road trip and it really helped people get to know each other in new ways.

I have used the linked questions (not the Canada Day questions) for impromptu public speaking exercises in classes. Since no one knows what question they will pick, there's always a think-on-your-feet component.

As for hockey, some Canadians follow hockey. Upon finding out I'm Canadian, Americans often say to me, "I suppose you like hockey." "No, not really." I say, to their amazement. Should I feel guilty? Is that unCanadian of me? (I will ponder.)

Canadians are more likely to like donut shops named after a hockey player. The seats are cheaper and they are easier to find.
