I concur. I don't know how much more Northern European descendants there are in western Canada but I know there is a lot. And no matter what their heritage and what parts of the world they're from (I won't speculate) there sure is a lot of tall people of all races here in BC. I don't know about other provinces in Canada.

I mean, there are probably as many or more Canadians who get their "news" from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart that there are who listen to CBC radio.

And of course hobbes knows Quebec better than 98% of Anglo-Canadians.

Why thank you!

Just fyi, Jon Stewart has officially announced retirement so yea, end of an era. Daily Show will never be the same again. Colbert has also left
