Dedicated to the Baja Canadians...


The Baja Canadians have been taking a beating lately on this board but I want to remind all of the other Baja Americans that some great talents came out of Canada that affected our culture back in the day and here is one...

Kind of tough not being able to have a curling arena here in Baja........I think the sport is way underrepresented in Mexico

Que lastima ! The Mexicans would likely do well with curling....they are very experienced sweepers :light:

maple butter...what is that?



Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

I assume you are kidding around, but that is
a bit of an EXAGERATION. Most everyone takes
their turn in the barrel, all in fun, I didn't see anything
malicious, unless I missed something. They represent a good % of Baja travellers.
Canada is one of the few friends we/US have

It is easy to take criticism when you know you are extremely fortunate.

Don't see the tongue in cheek thingy here.

Think you're trying to provoke a feud.

Rowdy 2 fisted drinking Canadians are a force to be reckoned with.

My immediate family live in St Kitts, Ontario.
You should hear what they think of Californians.
They think we all are stoned in perpetuity, with our pants hanging below the knees and tattoos from head to toe. Not to mention the tongue and nose rings and girls with their goodies hanging out.:biggrin::biggrin:

And, when it comes to boozing, they can hold their own, guaranteed.:lol:

Yep....those two items are generally placed below the chin and above the navel :biggrin:

...And Shari is one of the best Canadian imports in Baja :saint:

Canada is a great place to be from and to be in....only downside really is that "THE" Baja is two days steady driving south....and that's just to the first taco stand.

Without the invention of the propeller, the world would likely be a different place. But, what really distinguishes Canadians as a thoughtful levelheaded nation is the fact that they have so thoroughly adopted the Robertson square recessed drive screw system. IMJ it is as superior to a Phillips as the Phillips was to a pin*he slot! Yet, they're still a specialty item in the States.

Thanks you guys, eh?

Oh, and a special thanks for another 70 something Canadian; Leonard Cohen.
