Yeah, you lay off our scarves, toques and mittens eh ya bloody hoser.

Don't forget about our snow shoes because I definitely need a pair in Alberta to go with those scarves and mittens. :)

I know I'll get downthumbs but what's a toque?

#33, see? I'm glad I didn't mention how "you people" feel about your balaclavas and earmuffs. I'll bet you'd go mental and throw your back bacon and maple syrup at "Hockey Night in Canada."

@46 its a winter hat...... A quick internet search can help in some cases.

You might as well make the comment, it wouldn't be racist. "Canadian" isn't a race. That being said, I will defend my toque vigorously. It keeps my ears all toasty. 8]

All of those things are pretty popular in Minnesota as well. Even though we may call them by different names.

My mom lived in Canada for a couple years, a few decades ago...and now insists on calling my beloved fuzzy hats "toques" and nobody has any idea what she's talking about!

I thought Canadians were called hosers?

Yes because Canadian is a race and not a nationality...

Oh dear. I tried to restrain myself, I really did. But, alas, I failed. Worse, the word you want is worse, not worst. Though if you make it a wurst, throw in some potatosalad and a couple beers.....

Hahahaha, making me feel stupid :( but you get what I mean.

Hey not getting upset and offended when somebody corrects you makes you good in my book. Knowledge is indeed power, "the more you know".
