All the old timers still have the accent, but those my age have no distinctiveness whatsoever. I dunno why I don't hear Newfie jokes anymore. Maybe because Maritimers really dominate comedy at the CBC (Rick Mercer, for example, is easily the funniest man in Canada—he is all but an institution at this point).
I thought the funniest man in Canada was Mike Bullard :shifty:
He might the funniest guy stocking shelves at Superstore in Kitchener … (Let me guess, he's still on tv or radio locally?).
Hahaha! From Wikipedia:

"Currently, he is the host of the TV show HouseCapades, a real estate show depicting the lighter side of selling one's home."
Hey! I love shows like that. I think most of HGTV's lineup comes from Canada anyway.
That's what I keep telling my wife.

There's one house-selling show that the wife watches. It has the creepiest opening, with the narrator all dressed in black and standing on the roof of a house as the camera goes by. It's like the end of Dirty Harry, when Gemini's on the bus and sees Harry standing on an overpass, just staring at him. Anyway, the premise of the show is, apparently, that you need to spend thousands of dollars on cosmetics to sell your house. They have hidden cameras watching people go thru on an open house and criticizing the furniture and drapes and shit. And then people make those changes! Um, the furniture and drapes don't stay with the house, assholes. All I care about is that massive crack in the foundation and the water stains in the ceiling below the bathroom. Unreal.

That's true, "lifestyle" TV is big biz in Toronto, I have a number of friends who work on them.

This keeps showing up in the newspaper here.

I might be in BC but I'm far from the coast. So there.

EDIT: And there are SIX FEET, not five. According to yesterday's paper. :shifty:

This whole thread is just a tease for me today. Why not wave heroin in front of a junkie, huh?

I'm kind of hoping for some outrageous statement against religion so that I can, for the sake of fairness, defend the faithful.

For the record, the sixth foor was apparently a hoax.

Corrected for bigotry.
