Good way to celebrate your newfound Canadian holiday...vacation in NEW YORK CITY :mneh

Saskatchewan not festive enough? Thats the problem, no cultural identity. You Canadians are about as flavorful as melba toast :)

No, we're the salad bowl, you're the melting pot...:rolleyes. I like having little to no cultural identity, means less work trying to be all patriotic :D We just put on our "I AM...CANADIAN" beer shirts and we're set :)

No. First because the IRISH patron saint has nothing to do with Canada. Second, because its just a big marketing thing.


This is an area that really annoys me. Over here, St Patrick's day is a big thing, but most dont even know when St George's day (English Patron Saint) is.

Then start a thing to make St George's day a national holiday in Canada :p I hope you realise this was posted as a joke, Fett :)

I dont care about "celebrating" the occasion by turning into ALco-night. I just want it to be recognised;

then start something, it doesn't have to be celebrated with alcohol :p But if you want it recognised, then write to the government or whatever and try to fix it.

For some reason I will associate St. Patrick's Day with Pat Evans and her large, pendular earings forever more.

"Ooh Frank, we shouldn't..."

Better be careful, or this will quickly turn into an homage to Frank Butcher. :)

And what's wrong with that? Surely, that is how life should be :)
