Happy Belated Canada Day and Bonne St. Jean

Happy Canada Day!
Big news this past month - Canada just got the iPhone 3G.
Today we salute the Canadians who have made a difference in our lives.
Pat and Kim are Quebecers - a group of Canadians who speak French and are almost always willing to fight. In addition to Canada Day they celebrate La Fete de la Saint-Jean-Baptiste, a holiday where all of Quebec becomes a mosh pit at a Flogging Molly concert. In the above photo Kim is holding a Coke bottle half-filled with Captain Morgan, which is actually how Coke is packaged and sold in Quebec.
Robyn is from British Colombia, the California of Canada. If you ever meet a Canadian who is really attractive, a hippie or bat-shit crazy, there's a 75% chance that person is from BC. Robyn is a lot of the first and the second, and a little of the third. She is pictured above with her favorite Canadian rapper, Special C.
Scott is an Ontarion (Ontarioite? Ontarioso?) who enjoys downhill mountain biking, back country skiing, ultra-marathons, and other activities that would cause Adam soreness and possible dismemberment. Here he is wearing standard-issue Ontario sporting gear.
Kim, Jarrett and Nikki are also Ontariosters (Ontarioats? Ontariomos?) and they walked the Milford Track with us. In the midst of a grueling 4-day fight against nature's elements they kept our hope up by preaching the values of family and tequila shots.
And let's not forget Lara's brother Luke. Born in Ottawa, recently engaged (future post coming) Luke now sells health insurance, which is the must un-Canadian thing you could possibly do. But that's how we roll in 'Merikuh.
So thanks, Canadians. Without you there would be no Wayne's World, no Uncle Buck, and these people probably wouldn't exist either:
