Well I'm not Canadian but I have at least ten border crossings within an hour of me. My grandma was born in New Brunswick (1928).

#2 - When you are out of the country, what do you miss most about Canada? - I love the Ketchup chips comment. I'm in Maine and we have them, I didn't realize other places didn't. And who can forget Tim Hortons!

#12 - If I were to say, “That smells Canadian,” what would it smell like? - I first think of early morning fog, and dew and low temperatures. I also think of those few days per year, like at the middle of June when you can't wait for school to get out, when it's hot and muggy and you don't even care.

#23 - Canadians are defined as people who have sex in canoes. How would you define Canadians? - I don't know, I've never heard that. One time I canoed across a lake from the US to Canada and we brought back a tree... we had to ditch it halfway there because we put a hole in the canoe. This was like early 2000s and I was 13.

I love going to Canada. I used to visit a friend right across the border pretty often when we were kids. It's been awhile now... Next year, I hope to go to Quebec City. I've never been there before.
