Here are some more thoughts about Canada. It looks very American; Wal-Mart, McDonald's, Toys-R-Us, same gas stations, even 7-11! Other things do not look American: speed limit 100 (km per hour), QEW (Queen's Express Way), flowers, flowers everywhere. Evidently it upsets Canadians to have someone suggest they are another America, but they don't have much an identity of their own. They are doing a great job trying to eliminate waste. Packaging of products is less. Milk comes in plastic bags. Food and paper are composted by the city. Recycle everything you can! You are given one trash bag per week per family, use it wisely. The letter z is pronounced "zed". It is difficult to find a doctor. They like some strange candy- coffee flavored, ugh. Border crossguards are just doing their job, not very friendly even if you give a happy good morning. They really like, no love, Tim Horton donuts. There is one on every corner! I wonder what their impressions of Americans is? _______________________ Went to breakfast with my husband this morning to a Mennonite restaurant. We were commenting on the women wearing dresses, partly because they are not to wear men's clothing, but partly because they think pants will cause a man to lust. My husband wondered if we should tell them skirts do more for him than slacks!
