Now that Vancouver has won the chance to host the 2010 Winter Olympics, these are some questions people from all over the world are asking:

Believe it or not, these questions about Canada were posted on an International Tourism Website.

Obviously the answers are a joke; but the questions were really asked!


Q:I have never seen it warm on Canadian TV, so how do the plants grow?( England )
A. We import all plants fully grown and then just sit around and watch them die.

Q:Will I be able to see Polar Bears in the street? ( USA )
A: Depends on how much you've been drinking.

Q:I want to walk from Vancouver to Toronto - can I follow the Railroad tracks? ( Sweden )
A: Sure, it's only four thousand miles, take lots of water.

Q:Is it safe to run around in the bushes in Canada ? ( Sweden )
A: So it's true what they say about Swedes.

Q: Are there any ATM's (cash machines) in Canada? Can you send me a list of them in Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton and Halifax ? ( England )
A: What, did your last slave die?

Q:Can you give me some information about hippo racing in Canada ? ( USA )
A: A-fri-ca is the big triangle shaped continent south of Europe. Ca-na-da is that big country to your North...oh forget it. Sure, the hippo racing is every Tuesday night in Calgary . Come naked.

Q:Which direction is North in Canada ? ( USA )
A: Face south and then turn 180 degrees. Contact us when you get here and we'll send the rest of the directions.

Q: Can I bring cutlery into Canada ?( England )
A: Why? Just use your fingers like we do

Q: Can you send me the Vienna Boys' Choir schedule?
( USA )
A : Aus-t ri-a is that quaint little country bordering Ger-man-y, which is...oh forget it. Sure, the Vienna Boys
Choir plays every Tuesday night in Vancouver and in Calgary, straight after the hippo races. Come naked.

Q: Do you have perfume in Canada ? ( Germany )
A: No, We don't stink.


Q: I have developed a new product that is the fountain of youth. Where can I sell it in Canada ?( USA )
A: Anywhere significant numbers of Americans gather.

Q: Can you tell me the regions in British Columbia where the female population is smaller than the male population? ( Italy )
A: Yes, gay nightclubs .

Q: Do you celebrate Thanksgiving in Canada ? ( USA )
A: Only at Thanksgiving.

Q: Are there supermarkets in Toronto and is milk available all year round?( Germany )
A: No, we are a peaceful civilization of Vegan hunter/gatherers. Milk is illegal.

Q: I have a question about a famous animal in Canada , but I forget its name. It's a kind of big horse with horns.(USA)
A: It's called a Moose. They are tall and very violent, eating the brains of anyone walking close to them. You can scare them off by spraying yourself with human urine before you go out walking.

Q: Will I be able to speak English most places I go?( USA )
A: Yes, but you will have to learn it first.

John:

That is just too good too pass up. I'm printing off a few copies for the guys at work. They think Canada has become well-known in the world. "WRONG"

Thanks. I needed a good laugh today

Jeff;
I have a cottage just south of North Bay and I've had black bears in the yard on numerous occasions. We just never get far enough for white bears. Still 600 lbs of bear, any color, will scare you! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif

But, honestly, this is one of the most beautiful places in the world!

No need to go to Canada to see those. We have them all the time in the Spring and Fall here in New Jersey...mostly 250 to 350 lbs, but we have a 500 lb sow that walks around my yard every year.

Never saw any bears when I lived in Toronto! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/jester.gif

Nial;

I agree with all he said, (except I do know Suzy), and that bear in your picture is about the size of most of the bears up where the cottage is. I've still never seen a white one except at the Toronto Zoo. Maybe you didn't get there to see them?
Just kidding! If you lived in Toronto, you must have seen streets full of monkeys.
