THIS WEEKEND IS THE THANKSGIVING WEEKEND IN CANADA. CANADIANS HAVE THANKSGIVING IN OCTOBER, INSTEAD OF NOVEMBER LIKE AMERICANS. THAT’S BECAUSE CANADIANS USE THE METRIC SYSTEM. METRIC IS ALSO WHY CANADIANS PAY APPROXIMATELY $1.40 /L ($5.29/GALLON) FOR GASOLINE. I THINK “METRIC” LOOSELY TRANSLATED IS: “YOU GOT UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE AND STRONG BEER. WHAT ELSE DO YOU PEOPLE WANT?”
SO HAPPY THANKSGIVINGS TO MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS IN CANADA. :)
