As of January 23rd, 2007, Canadians are now required to have a passport to travel to the United States and vice versa. Canadians have been rushing to the passport office to get their passports, some even getting them for the first time. Unfortunately, those first-timers have learned that due to an obscure provision in the Citizenship act that states, if you lived outside Canada on your 24th birthday between 1947 and 1977 and did not fill the right form, you lost your citizenship.For the complete article, click here.
I hope these "Canadians" do not feel any less Canadian, but what does it really mean to be Canadian? Canadians really do not have a "got to eat meal" like other places around the world, unless you count Tim Hortons. I wonder not having a "got to eat meal" is substituted by having a collection of "got to eat meals" from around the world, due to our multiculturalism, which I believe is what makes Canada stand out from the rest of the countries. Anyways, not sure if any of what I wrote made sense, but there is something Canadian I will be enjoying tonight, which is the NHL All-star game. It will feature the best player in the game (arguments will be accepted), Mr. Sidney Crosby, let's hope he puts on a show.

Crosby held pointless. Although he put on a show in the skills competition, the only one to beat Luongo one-on-one... twice.
Gretzky also went pointless in his rookie all-star game and look at his career. I am glad that he did not try to do too much given all the attention he was getting.
When it comes to the Ovechkin vs Crosby argument, I think this year Crosby proved he is the best player in the game at only 19 year old.
Poutine is pure Canadian cuisine! and Halal poutine is even more so ;)
A quick Wikipedia lookup confirms poutine as a Canadian dish ... I never knew eh.
