Yuma, Arizona
The park we’re in is full of Canadians. By my unscientific count, at least three-quarters of the residents are Canucks.
While Canadians have been in every resort we’ve been to, this park has the highest percentage.
The Canadians are easy to spot. They smile a lot. Every sentence ends in “Eh?!” or “Ya?!” They drink a lot. And most cuss a lot. 🙂
If you tease a Canadian about saying “Eh?!”, they’ll come right back at you with, “Yep, and all you Americans say is “Huh?!”
Basically, Canucks are the people we love to be around because they are just so much fun!
I’m not sure what makes Canadians, by and large, so much happier than Americans. Is it their water? Or that they drink their alcohol like it’s their water? 🙂
Whatever the reason why, they just seem to have a joie de vivre that’s contagious.
They light up the resort streets every night regardless of the season.
Their signage politely asks others to behave…
They use humor to get their point across.
And they are respectful of both American and Canadian cultures and currency.
I will forever fondly remember one pickleball player shouting, “Ssssshhhhhiiiiitttttt, eh?” as he was running to get a ball I lobbed too far over his head to get to it in time. 🙂
I just love Canadians, eh!
How Canada was named……………………..
There were three explorers, hiking through what is known as Canada.
“You know”, said one of the explorers,”we should name this place we are hiking through”.
“I know”, said the second explorer. “We’ll each pick a letter and then make a name out of that”.
“Ok”, said the third, I’ll go first”. “C, eh”.
“N ,eh”, said the second.
“D, eh”, added the first explorer.
C-eh N-eh D-eh!!!!!!!
Ha Ha! Good one, Sharon! 🙂
Love it! They are lots of fun! Gotta get me some of that!
Ditto from the Getto! 🙂
I have only run into a few Canadians while traveling, but they were all very friendly and happy. They would be fun to travel with. Kathy, it is Santa Ana weather here now. You are lucky to have missed it.
Hot and windy, Joanne? We must have the Santa Yumas. 🙂
