    If he is, that's a dirty fucking trick. Maybe he's Canadian...the real kind.

    OK, so what are us Canuckistanis supposed to call blacks?

    Belgians? Dutch?

    Well, in that case it would be "Canadien".

    It would have been the coolest thing in the world if Le Gros Jean had accepted the position of Governor General of Canada.

    I mean if Ken Dryden had won the Conservative Leadership, he would have been Prime Minister.

    What would have been next?

    Guy Lafleur as Minister of Health?

    I heard people using that term years ago as well, in fact I think I mentioned it on this site about a month ago.

    Hmmm.

    Where I'm from, a Canadian is a person from Canada. Regardless of color.

    I'd probably never make it in the south.

    Ashy I heard you used to refer to upper deck of old Boston Garden as "Canadian heaven" when the Bruins played
