Don't they still have a picture of the Queen on their currency too? LOL, did you know that England had to tell canada to become independent...they wouldn't do it on their own.
Oh yeah, Queen Elizabeth II appears on all of their paper money.
Seems like the Canucks have a serious identity crisis.
If you ever go to Quebec Province, bring along one of those French translator gadgets. EVERYTHING is written in French, with no English subtitles, and EVERYBODY speaks fluent French and little, if any, English.
Of course, the same thing is happening in the USA, except it's Spanish instead of French.
Bullshit. Everybody in Montréal is bi. They will commonly initiate conversation in both languages and you respond in whichever one you want.
And regardless where you go, signs are in both English and French.
"Twonie" is a back-formation from "Loonie", and the latter is named for the loon that appears on the back.
Imagine that -- a national symbol that doesn't have to do with attitude and kicking ass. What a concept.
It must have been my imagination running away with me, when my wife and I stopped at a convenience store south of Montreal to ask directions to the nearest ATM machine, and NONE of the 12 people in the store knew ONE WORD of English.
I must have been hallucinating when we stopped at a McDonald's in the same town, and the ENTIRE MENU was in FRENCH, with not ONE WORD of English to be seen.
I was obviously high on something when EVERY road sign between the Vermont border and Montreal was in FRENCH ONLY.
The sad fact is that Canada has a province (Quebec) that doesn't want to be a part of the country of Canada. While it is Canadian law that all road signs and numerous other things MUST be written in both English and French, Quebec Province does not abide by that law.
They thumb their nose at the Canadian government, and at the English language.
