Throwback Thursday: Satire, Canadian Style!

Untitledattachment0005518

**Addendum:  Please read, “Murph’s” comments below this post.  They are from Chris Murphy, Meteorologist from Canada’s, “The Weather Network”. He has summed up Canadians and weather perfectly! Thanks, Chris!! 🙂 

At this very busy time of year I felt we could all use a laugh or two. Here is a post I wrote a couple of years ago.  I’m posting this again for a, “Throwback Thursday” kinda day!  I do hope you enjoy it! 

– all pictures courtesy of Mo from the http://thecrazycrone.org/.  Mo’s sense of humor is very similar to mine, and she shared these pictures with me knowing my Canuck sense of ‘ha ha’.  If there is one thing I know about Canadians, it is that we can collectively have a laugh at our own expense, all in the name of, “The Great White North”!

Please join me (and Mo, who lives in North Cyprus) with a little, “Canadian Content” to provide a little laugh to your day!

I am quite certain there are many Canadians (especially those who live in the Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta) who are grinning from ear to frozen ear with this little montage.  I must confess that during many exasperatingly frigid Prairie winters, I felt relieved at the ‘warmer’ temperatures when the -40C had left the region.  Interestingly enough, I found myself switching to a much lighter jacket at -10C, and left my wooly hat at home (I think these gentleman might be exaggerating just a tad, but not by much)!

If there will ever be an, “app” for this ghastly task, it will be invented by a Canuck; I have no doubt about this whatsoever!

I have witnessed this scenario many times! Heaven knows what other, ‘treasures’ Canadians find after the snow has subsided! You mean I actually OWN a car? I don’t remember that; perhaps it has something to do with the 6 months of winter in the Prairies!

Ah, the polite Canadians; requesting snow stoppage with not so much as a hint of irreverence! *grin*

Lest you think it is only our people who are polite, “PLEASE” take a gander at this:

Here’s one for those Canucks who have relatives who had the sheer and utter audacity to move to snow-less locales:

“Please” stay warm, my Canucks!

        Oh does it, Lana? I don’t think they’d like the amount of snow that the Prairie Provinces can get!!

    As a Canadian, I can vouch for the accuracy of this article. We wear bad weather like a badge of honour – kinda like coming in first at the “worst dressed contest”

    This post reminded me of this gif: http://i.imgur.com/ltj8d.gif

    As a spoiled Canadian living in the bubble that is GTA which magically misss out on most of the extreme weather Canad has to offer, I tip my hat towards the Canadians who brave our terrible winters year after year. I couldn’t do it!

      November 16, 2017 at 6:39 pm

      Hahahaha Oh that is priceless!! (and true!) Thanks so much for including it! Well as one of those folks who has lived on the Prairies and knows first-hand what -40C feels like, I tip my toque (“hat”) to you my dear. It truly made me appreciate what ‘cold’ really means! That’s why I’m the one here in Chicago who has a thin coat on when people are bundled up as if they are in the Arctic (true)! *LOL* Cher xo
