A thread in the welcome members has me curious...
As a French Canadian, my view of the United-States is based on what I see on TV daily since I watch mostly American shows & channels, on American movies, and on American websites.
And my trip 15 years ago to Wildwood beach, where cops pulled over next to me while I was stopped in a garage parking lot looking at a map trying to find a restaurant for supper. It was about 7:00pm in the tourist section on a main street in front of the beach access ( not even dark yet), and the cops told me to get my *** out of there because it was unsafe and dangerous for me to get robbed
. That did not leave me with a good impression of your country: I haven't returned since
.
I've watched West Wing and many movies involving your legislative system, I watched Ally McBeal ( OK there are better shows about lawyers)and COPS and CSI and many movies involving your legal system and many movies about your military system. Also the news, special presentations, presidential addresses, etc... And I've read Lescoart, Grisham Crichton and numerous others (I love to read)
I think I have a good idea of what your country is about.
As US citizens, what is your impression of my country?
What do you know about Canada, our justice system, our social system and our legislative system?
What so you know about our demography, geography, history?
How do you perceive us?
And I would ask the same question to our friends from abroad, how do you perceive Canada and Canadians ( and dare I add Quebec'ers to the equation)?
Curiously,
Marcel
