Are You Canadian?

[alsmith]

Hey post your self here if you are canadian and maybe we can start some meetings in differend areas

[NikeMikey]

110% :lol:

[alsmith]

Nice NikeMikey: I'm not sure where the extra %10 came from haha but great. I get to Vancouver sometimes as I live in Victoria. Surrey is not such a bad place .... after all didn't you just get a CrispyCream Donut shop (I am sure for all the cops hee hee)

[NikeMikey]

We certainly did just get a Krispy Kreme. I don't see what all the hype is about though. I mean, they're just warm glazed donuts with every possible preservative jam packed in them as they can. I'd better stay away from that place if I wanna keep my figure :P

[IanD]

Al,
Montreal meeting is up and running for the weekend of June 5th & 6th.
Hop on a plane, bus, bike and be here. :lol: :lol:

[NikeMikey]

Seems like almost everyone is on the OTHER side of Canada :(

[IanD]

Ian,
That is so true...Quebec's #1 export? A very close 2nd is just about anywhere in the NE US, NY/NH/VT/MA/ME/RI/CT/etc.

[NikeMikey]

I think the scenery here in BC more than suffices for the lack of maple syrup :D

[csondagar]

I am 110% Victorian (!) and almost 100% Canadian (working on my citizenship.)

Though I am new to photography I would love to join a club so that I can learn from you pros.

You can check out my gallery, and see if I am worthy of joining the pros. If not let me know how far I need to go!

Are there such things as honorary Canadians? I bleed red, white, and blue, but really love Canada. It's a beautiful place with warm, friendly people. Victoria is one of my favorite places in the world. That's a fact.

Me, I bleed red white and blue, too. Go Habs, Go!

The only way you can become an honorary Canadian is to get Calgary Flames tattooed on yer ass and then that's only good till the regular season of next year. After that,Calgary sucks again!

Now your talkin'.

[alsmith]

Well victoria is a beautiful place to live and I love it. But there does seem to be a lack of canadian's on this site? Anyone else?

[IanD]

Guys I have to agree with you. The West Coast is spectuclar in the scenery dept. I get out to Van a couple of times a year for meetings and to check out the biking at Whistler. However, we do have poutine here which is sorely missing in the West Coast life style and diet, but I will not hold that against ya'll.
Speaking of other Canadians, where the heck is Sheldon. He must be busy cause he is usually always around. Bet he is playing with the new IR filter. There are a few folks in here from Ontario. Step up and be counted!

How about if I spend more than $20.00 on gasoline driving up to Canada? Does that win me any points towards being an honorary Canadian? And if that and a quarter still doesn't buy me Canadian coffee, how about having a Canadian wife who keeps telling me she's going to retire in Canada everytime I mention retirement and Florida? :shock:

[IkonFoto]

Wow, tons of Canadians it seems.

I just moved from Toronto to Wasaga Beach, about 2 hours north of Toronto. It's been a bit of an adjustment, I'm used to street photography in a bustling downtown, and now I'm learning to enjoy nature photography (not hard, since I've always been a keen hiker/camper/amateur biologist).

I haven't met anyone around here yet who shares my passion for photography. Know anyone?

Heather

[Shakey]

Well, after the GCPS and all the poutine and Tim Horton's coffee I figure that I am now at least 7% Canadian.

[alsmith]

7% is a start!! now you just have to move to vicotria, live in a igloo, have a beaver as a pet, and learn to say EH alot haha

[IkonFoto]

Don't forget learn how to play hockey and dog-sled.

PS. Was on an organized boat tour of the Rideau Saturday (Paul's Boat Lines) and the young tour guide was pointing out that some of the bridges we were passing under were named for ex Prime Ministers, i.e MacKenzie King.

The young wag proceeded to tell us that there had recently been construction of a bridge in honour of former Fiberal PM Chretien, but it had been burned............................................ ..

[Belmondo]

I thought we only had divisive politics here in the US.

I was pleased to see Brian Mulroney looking so fit during the Reagan funeral. Is he involved in politics at all any more?

[Bruce Watson]

Hi Belmondo,

Divisive politics in Canada? Oui Monsieur!

We are in the midst of a federal election campaign with D day set for June 28th.

The current government under Paul Martin is the Liberal Party which has governed since the last decade, mostly under Jean Chretien, the only PM who could speak neither offical language properly!

Irony that you ask about Brian Mulroney; When his Conservative government fell to Jean Cretin.. I mean Chretien, his name was dragged through the mud of many controversies, including bribery for procurement of aircraft orders, corruption, etc.

He was absolved and cleared in the past few years, some of the trials involving others connected to the scandals are still underway, but Brian has been reborn and has sued the Canadian government over the lambasting his reputation took.

So he is once again taking a position as a senior statesman and his reputation is being reformed. To my knowledge, he is now a partner in a senior law firm in Montreal but is no longer an active politician.

Brian Mulroney was one of the few modern Canadian PM's to have built and held good relationships with the US President. As the driving force and political chessmaster of the NAFTA free trade agreement he did some great work towards lowering trade barriers between the two countries.

Many voters were terrified when the process started, but the clear success of the agreement is certainly a legacy that Mulroney will be remembered for.

Jean Chretien and Paul Martin will both leave legacies as well, but maybe not as noteworthy or honourable.

My apologies to anyone's political views this posting may offend!

Politics are vicious not matter what country, eh?

Cheers

Bruce

[Belmondo]

Bruce:
Thanks for the very interesting summary.
I'm embarrassed to admit that we Americans are generally ignorant of the internal politics of such an important neighbor.

poutine

When I think of Canada I think of 2 things. Poutine.... /<homer voice on> mmmmm Poutine /<end homer>

and Orchids.

I've done vacations to Cypress Hills, Alberta two of the last three years. Last year we also spent a lot of time in Eastern Manitoba. We were able to find several species of orchid for the first time there.

And mosquitos, well they are just orchid polinators.

[stoneylonesome]

My grandmothers family god rest her soul, cousins scattered all over the place to many to count. My grand dad would have had a dual citizenship had the bedroom of his farm house been on the Canadian side of the border, So I guess I missed being Canadian by just a few feet. :lol: :lol: guess I could claim token Canadian :? :?

[alsmith]

NikeMikey is right...

Canadian Girls Rock.

Great to see a bunch of Canadians

Oh and just so it's straigh there are more Canadian Hockey players on the Tampa Bay lightning than amaerican... ok now back to the sad reality

Go Canucks Go

[vfilby]

Actually I think that Americans are by far the minority on the Tampa Bay Team. As far as I can remember the majority is Canadian, with a couple from other continents and only 2 or 3 from America.

And of course Canadian Girls kick ass!

Vince

[alsmith]

I think that's what I was saying?

[vfilby]

Yep that is exactly what you were said. I was just trying to convey it more dramatically being as the team was almost entirely canadian not just slightly more canadian.

Didn't mean to step on your toes. I also made that post really early in the morning so you'll have to forgive me if I was alittle sense-less.

HAHA ok I get it now..

[SwerveDriver]

Hi everyone!

I'm from Toronto. Photography is new to me but with my Canon A80 I can take all the photos I want...mistakes and all!

So far it's been a great new hobby and it's starting to take away from my other hobbies (guitar, hockey) moneywise! :)

[Conk]

Welcome to the forum SwerveDriver. I look forward to seeing some photos from you and that great camera. :)

[SwerveDriver]

Welcome to the forum SwerveDriver. I look forward to seeing some photos from you and that great camera. :)

Thanks Conk,

The forums have been a great help so far. I'm still learning the basics of photography and I'm still figuring out the functions of my camera but it's becoming addictive. I'm looking into a 2x teleconverter lense and some macro lenses as well. I've heard good things about Lensmate so I'll check them out.

I'll have to post some of my insect photos some day.

[stoneylonesome]

"I'm looking into a 2x teleconverter lense and some macro lenses as well. I've heard good things about Lensmate so I'll check them out.

I bought my wide angle and tele and the extension tube from them, great service and and have been very pleased with the lenses, I have found I use the Raynox 0.66X wide angle more then the tele, you get great DOF and is good in low light situations.

Northern Ontario here. We have to fend off the black bears every time we need to go to the outhouse. We also use a buddy system. One to hew the wood, the other to carry the beer and act as lookout against bears. :D

It might be obvious but "east" means you can't go any farther without getting wet (or go to Newfoundland)!

Been lurking for the past 6 months, soaking up the atmosphere and collecting tips.

This Forum rocks! :D :D

[Conk]

Hanging around for 6 months and you say this forum rocks? Best be getting those photos and posts going ay? Whatcha think?

[vfilby]

I agree Conk! I couldn't wait more than a week before I jumped on to the critique section. Funny, I don't even remember how I found this forum.

I have a large number of friends who are canon owners so I have been pushing this on them too. So far one has joined and is an 'active member' (ndh). ;-) I'll have to harass the rest a bit more.


Vince

[alsmith]

I would agree that the critique section is a great help for becoming a better photographer and I would suggest that you try to enter the photo contests as well as they force you to try something you may not have tried before! Enter away!!

Heck, a shoot in the Capital Area sounds cool (even if the poutine ain't really all that good):):):):):) Of course we can always zip over the bridge to the good side and get the real stuff:):):):):):) (oh man, Jim is going to be all over me for this:):))

Would be no problem for Sheldon and I to zip up for the day.

[JAZZ D.P.G.]

:confused: AHEM :confused: This could be the start of Poutine Wars:confused:

I've been considering the NCAPS (National Capital Area Photo Shoot) and possible timing and locations. I've been trying to nail down my summer schedule for work, and will have this done by the time I return from Coulee Dam end of next week(trying out the nifty 50 Belmondo just sent up:D ) I hope.

How to play local tourists? Special event (Festival Capital of Canada)? History tour?Architecture? Canal tour?

Maybe a Great Canadian Poutine Taste Off?

Idea got "back burner'd" due to work, but will be active shortly. Heck, I have'nt had my camera out in two weeks:shock: Got to remember: there is more to life than work, home maintenance/repairs and golf:lol:

[Belmondo]

(trying out the nifty 50 Belmondo just sent up:D ) I hope.


Jazz....I just checked UPS tracking and the package is in Mt. Hope, Ontario (wherever that is).

When you spend $53 to ship a one-pound package, things happen fast. You should have it tomorrow.

Don't worry about the cost. I'll let you buy me lunch the next time I'm in Canada or when you're in California. I am solely responsible for choosing to send it that way, and I'm the one who diddled away the weekend, thus making it necessary.

Besides, you might just find that this is the best dam (as in Coulee) lens you've ever used.

Lots of Ferrari , including the 1980 312 T5 of Gilles Villeneuve.

I should be there around 10am and I'll be wearing my starp ;)

By 10am I should be on the 12 or 13th hole at Pakenham:D I wasn't aware that this was this weekend, (working way too much) will try to get there after the 19th hole:lol:

EDIT: Now this will be a good test of the 50 1.8 I just got from Belmondo! BTW, I've done some quick tests and this is one great lens:D

I'm residing in Kitchener, but my heart is still with my hometown of Ottawa :) I'll be in town for Canada day, I wouldn't spend that day anywhere else! Only difference is this year I think i'll be taking lots of pictures with my 4 month old D-rebel.

The last time I was in Edmonton I was playing a gig at the Cook County Saloon. It was one week after the big tornado hit that killed 27 or so people in a trailer park. I don't know if the Cook Count Saloon is still going but that had to be one of my favourite places to play on the road. Its been a long time but from what I remember Edmonton was a nice city.
And of course I did visit the West Edmonton Mall. Being from a small town in Southwestern Ontario Canada, I was indeed impressed.

The Keg is a good place:

Keg Steakhouse & Bar (Surrey and Cloverdale)

15146 - 100 Ave., Surrey
Phone: (604)583-6700


there will be no surprises as it's a high end steak house chain. Good food.

The words "high end steakhouse" roll off the tongue as nicely as the words "expense account".

Thanks!

Take bit of a left after Frankfurt, up through Iceland to Greenland. At Greenland take another left to Newfoundland (the Rock) and ask for directions (Nova Scotia was populated by Newfoundlanders (newfies) who went broke on they're way to Toronto):lol:

TeeQ, Welcome from the Nation's Capital.

Best poutine is the Capital area. Where else could you get such powerful cheese!!!!:)

[TeeQ]

Poutine? ICK!!! I have even tried fries with just gravy and can't stomach them either!! Although my dd loves poutine!!! Sorry IanD... lol
