[QUOTE=Nexosz;18510064]Watch your ass, canadians are dicks.[/QUOTE]
This isn't about me, is it?
Come on, I'm not even Canadian
We have black people. Just not in Banff.
[QUOTE=The Epidemic;18510060]So where have you been, exactly?[/QUOTE]
Canada has about 2.5% black compared to the USA's 12.8%.
[QUOTE=WWIII;18510002]No, not at all. I don't think Canada had slavery, which is why America has a lot of black people, because we brought their ancestors in from a boat.
There are some black people, in big cities I guess, there is probably a lot in Toronto but I don't know about where you're going.[/QUOTE]
Toronto is a sea of black people.
Well, watch out for the moose and the polar bears, they'll get'cha if you're not careful.
[QUOTE=The Epidemic;18510048]do you like donuts[/QUOTE]
Yes. Where can I find a good donut then? :P
[QUOTE='-[ Fizzadar ]-;18510154']Yes. Where can I find a good donut then? :P[/QUOTE]
Tim Hortons.
I went ahead and rated myself agree.
Canadians have stronger booze then you's Americans. You'll get drunker so much faster :)
Also, buy poutine, that shit is delicious!

I'm British. A Canadian friend told me you can't get neat vodka (particularly Smirnoff) in Canada, is that true? Also, does Canada have apple snaps? Because if not... FFFFFFF
dont go to tim hortons
the coffee tastes like piss
coming from a canadian, your ass is going to be freezing, yes fizz, you can get smirnoff, and apple snaps, as well as pure frozen maple syrup on a stick
also, tim hortons is your best friend.....

Sounds good!
Apparently Banff is currently about 2*c, but a week after we arrive a snow-front arrives (whoop) and it'll hit -15*c.
Awesome!
bring your snow coat

I'll link you to the website for one of the alcohol stores in my province. It should be the same throughout Canada though!

I suggest you drinking some Canadian stuff once you are there.
Smirnoff was founded in Russia, but later was mainly produced in France and is owned by a US corp nowadays.
Get something Canadian.

Oh good, that's sorted then! Also, drinking age in Banff is 18, unlike the rest (I think) of Canada, :D
[QUOTE=CubeManv2;18510308]bring your snow coat[/QUOTE]
Obviously, I'm going to a ski resort.
[QUOTE='-[ Fizzadar ]-;18509981']@Screen they don't. We have insurance and apparently, just like America, they'll demand some proof or some guarantee of payment.
@Me0wmix awesome!
OMG garry WHY the fuck did you remove automerge! :@[/QUOTE]
Do you have a healthcare card? Also apparently in BC you pay a premium of like 50 dollars a month.
[QUOTE=WWIII;18510161]Tim Hortons.

They also have pretty good muffins and sandwiches.
[QUOTE=Bran;18510446]Do you have a healthcare card? Also apparently in BC you pay a premium of like 50 dollars a month.[/QUOTE]
Insurance. Although, when you 'enter' they normally demand a card immediately, and you claim back on insurance.
Anyway, I don't actually plan on going to hospital xD
[QUOTE=pie_is_good;18510460]They also have pretty good muffins and sandwiches.[/QUOTE]
And maple syrup. Nom nom nom.
Deers love to go into Banff randomly cause it's a national park, so don't shoot em unless you want to get a fine.
[QUOTE='-[ Fizzadar ]-;18509869']On Tuesday I leave for Canada for 6 months as part of my gap year. I'll be living in Banff where I am working as a housekeeper (lame, but not my choice) with a group of others coming on the trip. I'll be able to ski during days off work, which is awesome :D
So, Facepunch, is there anything interesting I should know about Canada before I go?
Thanks![/QUOTE]
Everything is twice as expensive.
No, 3 dollars will NOT buy you a bag of chips and a bottle of coke.
I went to banff for a holiday and it was great, its a really nice to be. You should be fine there and I had no inconvienients (though it can be expensive like the skiing part), have fun!
"Gee" makes the dogs turn right
"Haw" makes them turn left
These are the actual commands, too.

Thanks for the PM also!

In case you still haven't got it, I live in the UK, and we don't actually use dollars. Prices are similar to UK prices, which are relatively high.
Fuck Banff, EAST COAST REPRESENT!

Yes it will. This coming from a canadian
Personally I wasn't very impressed by Tim Horton's, but that's probably because I travel into central London every weekday. It's better than McDonald's though.
Weed is ILLEGAL in Canada, it really is.
Arret means Stop (although most signs will say both, there are some that only say Arret).
