there may not be an easy way to describe it but i'd say that good manners are part of it.wilde said:Just so you know this "eh" thingy is not really Canadian. If you have spent some length of time in Northern England, you should know. Fucking eh man?
What exactly is Canadian culture anyway? A little bit of this and a little bit of that all thrown into one big giant melting pot, IMHO.
Things in Vancouver I don't understand, yet....

If you want to see good manners goto Japan where you bow 'til you head falls off.smackyo said:
To me, nothing says Canadian culture more than the Habs putting the Leafs out of their misery by giving them 2 whoop asses in a row thru a rare home and home series.
GOLF LEAFS GOLF? And to be able to tell Leafs fans to start learning how to spell "rebuilding" in a hurry. But only this time having a shit load of cash won't do them anygood, thanks to Gary Bettman's my new NHL with a salary cap.i've been to japan and yes the japanese people and korean people that come here are often using and displaying very good manners.wilde said:If you want to see good manners goto Japan where you bow 'til you head falls off.

WOW...Is there just a little simmering tension under the surface folks? We're all in this thing together. Everyone is merely stick-handling their way though the hockey game of life. Try to find the patience to enjoy the good bits of each other's culture even if it seems pointless. As an example, when you sneak into the Canadian Tyre store, press your garlic-breathing lips close to the nearest Asian of your choice, read over his/her shoulder and be somewhat satisfied in the knowledge that the shittly-made item about to become their purchase, was probably made by one of his/her relatives and they, just like you, will have to use part of the indestructable packaging to repair the new item to make it useable. This always brings a smile to my face.
