Foo - How do you become a Canadian?

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
I only want serious replies in this thread. Any Tom foolery is strictly verboten.

You have to hit a moose, but I think that is only one of the requirements.

no, that's a requirement for alaskan.
In canada, you have to hit a squirrel, skunk or racoon. Bonus points if your car breaks down because of that.

So I am Canadian? I've hit all three many times, you always really regret hitting the skunk too.

I think they have surgery that can make you a Canadian now, but it's considered an elective procedure.

well, it might have been geese.
I'm not convinced that you people actually know how to become Canadian.

If you can format this sentence into a popular Canadian phrase, we'll let you in:
"περάσει την μπύρα, ε" or "pasar la cerveza, eh"

No worries, that's only if you want to move to Saskatchewan. Ontario will let you in ... even with your orange sauconies.

Just drive north until you see snow, in July. Then stop and salute the Queen with a pint of LaBatt Nordic (an NA for you El Coucho).

You have to hit a moose...
In your canoe.

If hitting a Moose with canoe is not an option, you can apply for green card (or whatever their equivalent is), then permanent resident. From what my friend told me once they have some kind of point system. High level education +x points, can speak french +x points. Get enough and fast track to permanent resident. To become a citizen you need to live there for certain amount of time.

Those things are hard not to hit around here. Need to deport these freaking illegal immigrants, they fly in and just take a dump all over the place.

That sounds like an awful lot of work.

There are comedians who say funny things and comedians who say things funny...
You need to have either one or both.

It involves drinking rum and making out with a groundfish, is my understanding.

The real important question that hasn't been asked is "Do Canadians agree to letting Couch become a citizen?" We haz standards ya kno.
no motor?

Marry a Canuck. Then expect to use funny spelling and be around people who drink better beer, eh?

One does not just become Canadian.

Does it require surgery?

If by surgery you mean enjoying a nice plate of peameal bacon several times a week then yes, yes you need surgery

At least its covered under their medical system.

I'm deeply offended. I'd defend all Canadian's honour (note the correct spelling), but I have to finish doing the dishes.

Like it yes,win in it,no.

Can you train your sheep to do the dishes eh?

That is the incorrect use of the word 'eh'. You will not be given access to the glorious country that is Canada.

The hard part is that you actually have to live there first.

They broke their final ties with the Queen 10 years ago,make their own beer,and also have colorfull currency.This puts them in current times.
The hard part is that you actually have to live there first.
That is a mean spirited statement to my frostie neighbors across the lake.
However 90% of them live within 100 miles of the "Merican"border.I believe inside every Canucker this is an American trying to get out.
But you get a nice medical system.
Have to agree with you on that one.
