So many questions, so little time

1. favourite place in your country?

Without a doubt that would be the night markets/markets in general. I don't get to go often but I love them.

3. does your country have access to sea?

Yes, on two coasts.

4. favourite dish specific for your country?

Poutine. I can't eat it much, way too rich. I always enjoy it when I do.

5. favourite song in your native language?

I'm particularly partial to Marianas Trench. The only band from high school that I can still stand listening to as an adult.

6. most hated song in your native language?

Well, that would have to be ironic by Alanis Morissette. The song either displays a profound understanding of irony or a profound lack of understanding. 

7. three words from your native language that you like the most?

Fascinating, Intriguing, and Nefarious.

8. do you get confused with other nationalities? if so, which ones and by whom?

British, and one time some creepy guy gave me the HH salute on a hot summer day because he saw my blond hair and assumed I would share his views, but that's not really a nationality. I was seriously skeeved out.

9. which of your neighbouring countries would you like to visit most/know best?

I have developed this fascination with the island of Malta (not my neighboring country, I know. I'm surrounded by the US, can you blame me?). I even thought about doing an exchange there for my final year of college.

10. most enjoyable swear word in your native language?

I don't have one.

11. favourite native writer/poet?

Kelley Armstrong (didn't actually know she was Canadian!)

16. which stereotype about your country you hate the most and which one you somewhat agree with?

There are still people in the world who think that Canadians live in igloos and drive dog sleds everywhere. We have roads, and we have houses. But we actually do say eh a lot mostly to confuse and annoy. Also we are not infallible viewing us as the great white polite north is wrong.

17. are you interested in your country’s history?

Yes and no. Yes as in I want unbiased textbooks which give me multiple perspectives. no as in i've studied a lot of it already and am tired of it all.

18. do you speak with a dialect of your native language?

Insofar as we don't use the same colloquialisms everywhere, and because newfoundlanders (newFUNDlanders) have developed darn near their own dialect.

19. do you like your country’s flag and/or emblem? what about the national anthem?

I think having national anthems in any country borders on fascism. And the flag is just okay.

20. which sport is The Sport in your country?

Technically, Lacrosse is the official sport. but Canadians go nuts for hockey.
