I grew up near Vancouver and honestly I tire of this stereotype. I get it, it rains a lot. What happens though, is it rains for two weeks, then it is sunny for two weeks, as compared with other places where it rains every other day or two. People only ever recall the rain however. Statistically Vancouver has: 45" over 165 rain days per annum. Compare this with New York: 50" over 122 days. And perhaps Los Angeles (a desert) which has: 15" over 35 days, though in reality it falls almost all at once, (which is why there are ENORMOUS cement ditches (in Terminator 2) to prevent massive flooding.) I guess it's what you are used to. But get over it, there is a lot more to be said for Vancouver than just rain.

Omg I laughed so hard. I love Canada and Canadians. STORY TIME A girlfriend and I drove through several Canadian provinces to hit the Alcan highway and drive home to Alaska. I had a 3 and 1 year old, she had a 2 year old. We were driving her new Jeep wagoner, child seats weren’t law and just starting to make an appearance, so we loaded all our luggage on top so we could put down the back seats leaving a huge area for them. We put pillows, blankets, and toys with them, the cooler under the legs of the front passenger seat, and off we went. We were 22 and had absolutely total confidence and absolutely no sense. We had no idea speed limit signs were not in mph so we made really good time on the paved roads. Fortunately every Royal Canadian Police Officer we saw was at a gas station-boy that Jeep Wagoner V-8 sucked down the gas when you were doing 80mph-or in a restaurant. Every Canadian we met was so nice to us. At every motel we stayed there was always someone that would run out to help us haul all that luggage off the roof into our rooms. Several times they opened the closed restaurant so we and the kids could eat. At one motel a lady drove to her home in the morning and got her milk so we could fill bottles for the baby that day and there was always someone to top our cooler off with ice. Everyone was horrified when we tried tip them for their kindness which was good as the cash we had for tips went for gas. Luckily the Jeep would take unleaded gas which then was half the price of regular; you just had to find the pump which was normally off in a back corner somewhere. All went fantastically, the kids so happy in their big carpeted play area, then we hit the Alcan Highway HELL. One thousand three hundred and ninety miles of unPAVED, rutted, potholes that could swallow a small car, crossing streams, of HELL. The babies were getting beat to death in the back and only laughed when they actually flew in the air. We took the 3 sleeping bags-hey we thought we could hit snow-shoved on the floor under the folded down back seats out on the area on top of each other. Lined the sides with the pillows and pulled our heavy coats out of our suitcases to pad the inside of the metal tail gate. That helped some but we would all get hot and couldn’t put down the windows do to the dust flying up from the road. NO AC IN JEEP. The two babies traveled only in diapers, my 3 year old son in his underwear. We eventually reached home in Alaska. I was more tired than I had ever been but damn we made it with 3 live kids. Canada has always been a warm amazing memory.

I went to Winnipeg in April (not this year of course) for a concert, but I decided to spend the weekend there. I was talking to a local and ask, "What would you recommend for an out of towner?" He looked at me like I was an idiot and said, "Why would you visit Winnipeg in April?"

@@77dris Yes, when I was there in "Spring," it was one big, brown mud pit. I think the snow had just melted, so it was warm, but there was standing water everywhere.

[@lesliemccormick6527]

F.Y.I.- Fun fact: Saying "sorry" in Canada does NOT mean "accepting blame or responsibility"..... Ergo, if a person being sued or charged with something in court said or says "sorry", it can not be held against them. It's legislated. In Canadian parlance, "Sorry" can mean any number of things from, "I did not hear you" to "you poor thing!" to "quit being a jerk" to "I feel badly that you feel badly" and many other sentiments besides. It's all about context. Sorry.

[@clogger10]

'Sorry' is not an admission of guilt. 'I am sorry your goldfish died' just means that you are sad the fish died, not that you killed it. However to apologize means taking responsibility for the action.

[@bradd188]

@@clogger10 were talking about legislation passed in regards to people apoligizing and saying sorry in court no one's talking about someone's gold fish dieing. Apoligizing usually does mean a person is accepting responsibility for their actions but the legislation pointed out in the original post is that canadians apoligizing in court doesn't nessisarly mean they are accepting responsibility. Usually when we apologize for something we say sorry that's why I wrote what I wrote cuz I was talking about the same thing.
