creator of modern canada. founder of the NDP, the democratic socialist party whos policy have had a great impact on the nation today. creator of liberal reforms, with medicare as the crown jewel of his policies. voted the top canadian of all time. he's a socialist, not a communist. only an american, australian, or albertan would be too stupid to know the difference.
American: "Yous Canadians is nice, but most of you is a bunch of weird backward commies."
Non-Albertan Canadian: "No, our nation is founded on democratic socialism, so is every nation in Europe and even li'l America, otherwise known as Japan."
America: "No, I watched the Fox News Channel and dey said that only Canada has socialism and that it just a codeword for commies."
Non-Albertan Candian: "Fox News? That explains your stupidity."
Tommy Douglas would be apauled at the gov't of Alberta's attempts to slash his reforms!

Often ridiculed prarie province of Canada. Americans have never heard of it because its above the Dakotas (another place they've never heard of), Canadians forget about it because it had only one city and it's near nothing else. Manitobians are an industrious bunch, because they have to take care of themselves. They weather sucks, and if you don't live in Winnipeg, then you're probably near nothing. Winnipeg isn't bad but it had the same reputation as Buffalo or Cleveland in the US, as if its some bad place that everyone should leave. Manitoba's got lots of lakes too.

little PEI, barely a province. nobody lives here. nice scenery but not much else. most tourists come here on a day trip to see anne of green gables, the province's claim to fame, then leave. but they do have a sweet bridge.

french speaking canada, the second biggest province. it's people are decendents of french immigrants, yet the people in general have a disdain toward france for basically abandoning the place in 1757. older generations also have a similar disdain toward canada because of the language divide. montreal is the capital and is basically toronto, but with a different langugae. quebec city is europe in north america, beautiful, but harder to navigate for an english-speaking tourist (the deeper into quebec you get, the less likely you'll encounter english signs). tried to seperate from canada twice, which was a stupid idea. younger generations are more apathetic, which is actually a good thing, since it means quebec sovereignty should never be an issue again.
The liscene plat of quebec says Je Me Souviens. This translates to "I remember." What the hell are they remembering? Truthfully, they don't know!

scenery wise, alberta looks like colordo, with the towering rockies in the west and flat plains in the east. edmonton and calgary are the 2 biggest cities, and they hate each other. alberta is the texas of canada. much more consevative than any other province, and sitting on oil riche$

maritime canadian province, often forgotten by the rest of canada. only other place in canda with a significant french population, although they still only consititue 25% of the people. americans tried to make it join the usa after the 1776 revolution, but new brunwick was indifferent. really not much going on here today.

canada's 3rd largest province and probably it's most beautiful. beaches, mountains, cities- everything you'd want is basically here. but bc's biggest attraction is it's high quality mary jane. there are a few amsterdam-like 'coffee houses' in vancouver, bc where you can smoke the stuff, but they're being reduced in number unfortunately.
