golden horseshoe 

A large urban and suburban region of Ontario, Canada at the western end of Lake Ontario. It stretches from Niagara Falls, Ontario around to Oshawa, incorporating St. Catharines, Hamilton, Mississauga, and Toronto, as well as their adjacent areas. At present, it is home to approximately 7.5 million people. It is the most populated and prosperous area in Canada, which is the source of the "golden" part of its name.
905 is the area code for the Golden Horseshoe (outside of Toronto, with the area code 416).

Mouvement 51 

Former political organization in the Canadian province of Quebec that advocated Quebec becoming the 51st state of the United States. They thought that it might be possible to arrange for Quebec to have only one official language more easily than if they remained part of Canada. This was probably true, except that the one official language wouldn't have been Français. The organization's policies don't appear to have been well thought-out.
Mouvement 51 wanted to ensure a French-speaking Quebec by becoming part of the United States. C'est fou!

Suburban house that is actually a concealed indoor marijuana plantation. Grow-ops are usually loaded with high intensity lights for the crop, and often have illegally bypassed electrical meters, both to reduce costs and to prevent their detection by electrical consumption. They are often detected because of their heat -- either via infra-red thermography, or in colder climates, because snow melts on the roof faster than on other houses in the neighborhood. Some larger scale grow ops are installed in larger industrial buildings, rather than in residential areas.

The term is in common use in suburban Canada,
You know that suspicious house down the street? The cops raided it today -- It's a grow op!

las vegas 

American excess at its most excessive.

Everything that's bad about the United States all rolled into one location.

A colossal waste of energy, in the middle of nowhere.
Las Vegas should be seen at least once, if only to prove that it really does exist, and isn't the demented fantasy of a Hollywood set designer.

celine dion 

Canada's most infamous export. Now in Vegas where she belongs. We don't want her back.
Las Vegas is 100% fake, so Celine Dion will fit in perfectly.
