8. Toronto
My husband is there and likes it, even with the snow. He got screwed because he had to spend the summer here in the desert, and the winter in Canada. But he's happy to have a job after over a year of unemployment.

If we stayed in the desert another year, I was planning on coming to BC for the summer. I wanted to go to Nelson, which is an arty little town on a lake.

My Great Uncle was a reporter there.

16. Road Trip!
*piles four under 21 college students into his Ford Tempo

*puts on a CD

There's a rainbow in Toronto where the maritimers are bold
They always get a potfull-but they never get a pot of gold
Chorus:
But they're to it and at it at it and to it-
Ya gotta tune your attitude in
If ya don't get at it when ya get to it -
Ya won't get to it to get at it againx2
A guy from old New Brunswick He couldn't even pay his rent
We don't know how he travelled But we all know where he went
He was-
Chorus:
A girl from old spud Island-Old Potato lips
She married a Newfoundlander and they lived on Fish and Chips
But they were-
Chorus:
A guy from Nova Scotia, He can't afford the train-
He's sittin on a streetcar, but he's eastbound just the same
He's-
Chorus:
A Frenchman from the Gaspe said "Frogs don't like smog!"
So he hopped in a swamp of lilies where he lives in a hollow log...
But he's-
Chorus:
A guy from old Cape Breton, so lonesome he got stoned
He crawled into a suitcase, and somebody mailed him home.
But he's-
Chorus:Repeat, end


</Obscure SCTV reference>

19. Not obscure or an SCTV reference -well it sort of is
But that is a very famous Canadian folk song. Written by THE MAN himself, Stompin Tom COnnors...he's written over 200 songs about Canada.
