I really hate to post this but it is true that Canadians are much cooler than Americans...

What, I wasn't enough proof for you?

Celine's from Quebec. You have to watch out for Quebec women. They're all a little nuts. And besides, she's gone all Vegas. Once you do that, you're no longer Canadian or American. You're just Vegas.

Great video. Love the stop at the stop sign.

Quebecers are all fun. But sorry, the girls are nuts. In a fun way - at first. I've never found the guys to be the same, but then again I haven't found myself in a relationship with one...

The first time I met my friend Rick Weldon in person, I was underneath a hot race car trying to change a sway bar without burning myself. He heard me swear and said "I didn't know you spoke French! I dated a girl from Quebec for a while".
"They're all nuts", I replied.
"It's true!", he said. "And everyone says that. Why didn't they tell me before?"

Poutine is the exact opposite of Chinese food. You don't necessarily feel full after eating it, but you don't want to eat again for about two days. It's the perfect skiing food.

If Canada invented hockey. . . then why were 4 of the original 6 teams from the US?

Same reason as now -- money.

There were four teams in the NHL in the first season. The Montreal Canadiens, the Toronto Arenas (later the Maple Leafs), the Ottawa Senators and the Montreal Wanderers. Some US teams came later of course - but if you go back to the roots, it was a Canadian thing. The "original 6" didn't come into existence as a term until 1967, and only two of them were actually part of that first season.

Gotta remember that the "original six era" didn't start until about 1940-ish, and the NHL had been around since 1917. The Original Six refers to the six teams that were around before the 1967 Expansion; they had the "original six" and the six expansion teams.

Off the top of my head I can think of The Montreal Maroons, Philadelphia Quakers, New York Americans, and Pittsburgh Pirates who all played in the NHL in the early years. And thats probably missing a lot who only lasted a single season or so.

The only "original" teams to the NHL that are still around are the Ottawa Senators (although different from the Senators now) and the Montreal Canadians.

More hockey trivia. There have been over 50 different teams play in the NHL. That includes franchises that moved and changed names.No new teams entered thew league between 1934 and 1967.

Meh, enough with the hockey bragging battle.

If Canadians were really cool, the video producers would have have used real cars, real choppers, real roads, etc, etc.

Heck, they might have even filmed some wild across-and-over-the-dunes action featuring an obscure, but awesome, awd contraption. Ooops..........

Instead, they use toys.
