No flappy heads! I feel gypped!

So, Canada.

Let's just say that everything I've ever been taught about Canada is a lie. Let's go through them in chronological order:

1. The kids at Degrassi Junior High are incredibly cool - lie! I went past the Degrassi area yesterday, and the kids there seemed to be the same crowd of losers that infest every suburb around the world.

2. Celine Dion is a universal embarrassment to Canada - lie! There are actually people hear who like her music! There won't be after I'm finished here, but there are at the moment.

3. The people have flappy heads - lie! All the people I've met seem to have heads that are attached in the same way as everyone else I've ever met. Although I've been told by locals that I'm much more likely to find flappy head people in Newfoundland. I'll update this after I've been there.

4. Saddam Hussein ran the country a la 'The Wizard of Oz' - lie! Apparently Saddam has never even been to Canada.

From the above, you can see two things. I know very little about Canada, and apparently everything on TV is not the truth. This is disturbing. I need to go and find a maple tree with a tap and get me some syrup. The locals tell me that's how they get the syrup out. I've been looking all day and I haven't found one.

This country is certainly perplexing.
