Americans that are almost Canadians

[Taverner]

For me, anyone from WA, OR, WI, MN and MI could easily adjust to Canadian Culture

1. How about upstate NY?

:shrug:

[madinmaryland]

5. Poughkeepsie?

:hide:

[malta blue]

10. Boooooo...

:hide:

[driver8]

12. Poughkeepsie is considered "down state" by those of us from "upstate" NY. n/t

[madinmaryland]

14. I always like busting my wife about that. She's from Poughkeepsie!

[driver8]

11. I grew up in the Adirondacks -- 90 miles south of Montreal.

I could definitely adapt to being Canadian!

[malta blue]

13. I'm in the southern Adirondacks

so I figure I could adapt easily as well :thumbsup:

[XemaSab]

2. But not the Alaskans?

:shrug:

:cry:

[Taverner]

4. No you guys are beyond Canadians

Probably....SIBERIANS!!! :scared:

[madinmaryland]

6. Alaskan's are more like Russians, because you can see them from your backyard!

3. Bunch of Hosers.

[madinmaryland]

7. Those are Indianans!

[JVS]

8. I said Hosers, not Hoosiers! Jebus Fucking Crisp!

[madinmaryland]

15. Hoser - Hoosier. Same difference!

[JVS]

18. You're so wrong

9. Georges and Cecile Bechard of Maine (and Quebec)

http://www.humanities-interactive.org/canadianborder/ex009_35.html

The home of M. Georges and Mme. Cécile Béchard is built on the Québec-Maine line. There are five other family homes in the immediate Estcourt area, all built entirely in the state of Maine. Along with the Béchards, these families constitute the community of Estcourt Station. The only road that connects them with any other part of the state of Maine is a logging road

16. Native South Floridians, I've discovered.

Emphasis on NATIVE. I'm a third generation south Floridian, and people always think I'm from Canada.

17. In 2004 I wanted Canada to adopt us in WI...

now I'm all good :)

19. I was in BC talking to some students who asked me where it was cool to live in the USA

I told them WA, OR and Northern California. And they said, they knew *that*..."that's not like the US, it's practically Canada.".

So I suggested Austin, TX, Chicago, Boulder, etc.

[QMPMom]

20. Ha. I've lived inCanada for 23 years and stil haven't adjusted.

On the surface it seems lke it is like the US, but it's not at all. Just step south of the Canadian border onto US soil and it is soooooooo different. I will never get used to living in this place.

21. The way Michigan has been bashed here on DU lately makes me WANT to become Canadian

Some of the stuff in GD has just been brutal.

[ScreamingMeemie]

22. You know it's funny how threads we posted in GD dropped liked

rocks months and years ago. Now everyone is all over it.

Sigh...

Become a Texan with me. :hug:

[1gobluedem]

23. Tempting

But I'm going to stay here in Michigan and guard our water so I can say "Sorry, you made your own mess; it's not our problem" when drought-stricken states come asking for help. :hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. Good idea.

But I do hope you all consider a road trip to come see me sometime. It's not that bad of a drive and I have room. :hug:

[1gobluedem]

25. Absolutely!

I'll pick up lizziegrace in Chicago -- road trip!

[ScreamingMeemie]

26. I would love that so much.

I'm going to miss you. :hug:

[1gobluedem]

27. And me, you

But, much as I hate to see you go, I think this is going to be good for you. :hug:

And please let Wannabe know she can call on me in any emergency.
