A number of "only in Canada" memes are making the news up here. Any fellow Canucks or travellers to the Great White North have any similar stories?


As a fun joke, you soak then freeze a pair of kakis and then freeze them onto a street:

Yup. Both of them...
Now, in all fairness, the last three trips I've taken on Amtrak also featured clean trains and on- time performances. I just wish that the trains ran as fast as what I experienced on a corridor run last year, round trip, between Toronto and Montreal. Even my wife ("No trains. I'd rather fly.") was impressed. And the business class treatment, although pricier, was a lot nicer than what Amtrak offers.

More of a critique on how few trains we have. I do wish it could be expanded, beyond the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) commuter zone!
