Thumbs down Oh Canada...

I am just curious: why are there so many people from Canada?
I myself live in Montreal and am glad and surprised to see so many people from the Great North .

Well, that's relative. For example, a few days ago I was freezing rather than living .

I do know I have one Canadisher (Yes, Canadisher. I'm Bushismising (I think I just pulled a Bushism to conjugate Bushism properly (How many parenthetical phrases can I insert here without getting slapped?))) in my guild, and today, we just played a GvG match against a guild called 'Guild of Quebec'.

No idea why there are so many of 'em, though. Maybe in the cold winter months (September- May) they lack anything to do?

No, really, I love Canada. I've been there several times myself, and I can honestly say that I have only once managed to nearly freeze my fingers off while there, too.

I read somewhere (sometime ago) Canada was 2nd in the world for online gamers, second to Korea of course. I also know Canada is 2nd in the world for ISP/Internet access, once again second to Korea. Those two might be tied into each other.

Really, kuntor? This is new to me. I thought the second in online gaming was Germany, but the again, I am new to MMOs and played FPS online before that.

Okay, I once went down to the states and someone asked me what it was like living in an Igloo?!?
I only live in Edmonton!
I'm not saying it like that everywhere in the States, I think those living along out boarder at least have an idea of what it's like. I have friends that live in NWT, there during the summer your daylight lasts 23.5 hrs, we at least get the most of our summers
