A tourist could do all that, a Torontonian who doesn't worship at the alter of Wendel Clark, is not one of us, we got immigrants who come from Southeast Asia walking around with Wendel Clark sweaters on, I grew up in Corso Italia, sure, they were the Azzuri Paisans, but they were all died in the wool Leaf fans too.DrYouth wrote:I'm not really that worried about measuring up to your standards of culture Cappy.StCapps wrote:As far as I am concerned, being a Canadian who doesn't like hockey is both foolish and uncultured.

Sounds like we need a “Who is the most culturally Canadian” poll.
Shame Capps can’t start one, on account of being unable to start threads and all.

Fife is more Canadian than DrY, Hastur is more Canadian than DrY, DrY is no Canadian at all, an alien unperson in our midst.

DrY is pretty much a typical liberal Seattle resident. He doesn't strike me as Canadian at all. I wouldn't have guessed if he never told us. From our perspective, he's solid liberal, but in the Canadian world, he's pretty much center-left (and headed right).

We don't care where you're from, we don't care what you look like, we don't care what your culture is, so long as you are a hockey fan, you're in, so long as you're not, you can never truly be one of us.

Just be careful he doesn't try to dump Toews' contract on you somehow.Smitty-48 wrote:Chicago Blackhawks fan; you're in, just like dat.GrumpyCatFace wrote:Packing my bag now.Smitty-48 wrote:We don't care where you're from, we don't care what you look like, we don't care what your culture is, so long as you are a hockey fan, you're in, so long as you're not, you can never truly be one of us.

DrY doesn't even know who Johnny Toews is for crying out loud, if Grumpy never sets foot in Canada, he'll still be exponentially more Canadian than DrY, just a fact.
