Question Where are all the Canadians hiding?

It's pretty quiet around here these days...where are all our NB loving Canadian members hiding out these days?
Y'all need to come out of the woodwork and start posting.

Talking

I set myself myself up for that Didn't I?!?
Thanks for the welcome back.
For some reason it seems a lot quieter around here than I remember it...not just in the Canadian Forum but in general.

We need to try and change that. Not sure how but we do.

Let's try to show some patriotic cheer(with the other day being Canada day and all) and get the party started here in the Canadian forums.

I see a ton of Beetles where I live but don't see any owners posting here.

Not sure why...

Sorry about the screwy face, it's the only smiley that shows the likely outcome of tagging a moving car.

The same in my town, just a bunch of grumps. I gave somebody a smile and wave and they looked at me as if I was from outer space. Maybe it's the cyber green that confuses them

We often make it to Vancouver.
If I see any cyber green bugs while I am there, I'll be sure to wave.

We're currently planning another mini road-trip for Tuesday, and it will likely be either to the coast, or down to Washington State.

You bet, I'll keep an eye out too.
Lots of stuff to do in the Vancouver area. Too bad you didn't come by last week for █♥█ Canada Day █♥█ in Surrey. Canadian bands played , 54-40 and Vancouver's own Bif Naked. Tomorrow I'll be watching the races in Mission: The Sports Car Club of British Columbia Official Website (SCCBC). We've had great weather lately, perfect for NBCs.
See 'ya!

Oh how I miss the living in "the center of the Universe".

It's amazing how people here condemn those living in Toronto stating they all have superiority complexes.

People from Kelowna (Kelowians??? Kelownanites???) are all about superiority complexes...I have never seen such pretentious people(not even in Yorkville) in my life. Sorry for anyone insulted by this but it has been my experience living here for the last 3 years.

At least I get to make a short mini trip back to civilization later this month.

See 'ya!

The last 2 years on Canada Day we have found ourselves at Ikea and then to Langley to hit up the Olive Garden on the way home. The first year we rushed back to have only have the fireworks canceled after the city of Kelowna forgot to order the switch to set off the fireworks.

Last year we sat on our roof and had a great view.

Unfortunately this year we both had to work.

They are calling for rain Tuesday so we'll see where our little Beetle takes us. It's no fun driving a convertible with the top down in the rain.

I've been hiding under a rock.

Been outside enjoying the precious few weeks of summer we get.

Winter is coming

So that's where you've been.
Didn't you guys have snow like last month?
The weather was pretty messed up when we were living there.
Hail, rain and sunshine all at the same time.
