A more manly, cold-enduring, hockey-playing, poutine-eating bunch entirely.

Taylor : wait, *where* are you ???? don't you ever sleep either ??? what time is it there ?
so should i only talk to you in french, from now on, to avoid sounding silly ? then again, maybe my greatest ambition in life is to sound as silly as possible, in which case clearly speaking english all the time would be the most effective solution. maybe i could run for minister. there must be a ministry of silly talks as well.
as for québécois being more manly, i admit, i don't play hockey, but i've never frankly wanted to be "manly" either so i'll take that as a good thing, my dresses wouldn't look half as good on me (je suis une fille, et j'en suis ravie). i do endure the cold reasonably well, as long as i can have a good bonnet (with ear flaps) and plenty of hot tea, and ideally a working fireplace and plenty of logs. of course, what i call "cold" and what they call "cold" in québec may not be comparable...
