Happy April language miners!

I hope you had a prank free April Fools' Day (April 1st).

Today, let's look at some fun facts about Canada and how they connect to me. If you are curious about me, this a time to learn.

1) "During summer months when lobster is in abundance, Canada puts its very own twist on the typical McDonald’s meal. A lobster sandwich which includes celery and dressing results in an appetizing McLobster!"

I used to live on the east coast of Canada and though this McDonald's sandwich was available, I never ate it. Instead, I liked to go to little, tiny restaurants near the water and eat fresh seafood.

2) "Even the likes of Winnie-the-Pooh originated from this impressive country. In 1915 London zoo received a baby bear, Winnipeg, from Canada. A young boy, Christopher Robin Milne, used to love visiting the bear at the zoo - inspiring his father to write stories about a bear called Winnie-the-Pooh."

I'm from Winnipeg and there is a statue of Winnie-the-Poo at the Winnipeg Zoo!

3) "In the small town of Churchill in Manitoba, there is a bear for every resident in the area. Although this has become an attraction for tourists, for those living with the bears life can be complicated at times! In fact officers exist who are trained to deal with any bear problems."

This is my home province!

4) On the theme of animals, in Winnipeg you can see more snakes in one place than anywhere else - thousands upon thousands of red-sided garter snakes can be observed (from a distance for those with a snake phobia) during the mating season in spring.

Also, this is my home city! Although, you can't see the snakes in Winnipeg. You have to drive to Narcisse. It's pretty awesome if you like snakes. Don't worry, they are garter snakes and have no poison. 

5) "And finally, it turns out that Santa does exist. If you write to: North Pole, HOH OHO, Canada - you will receive a letter back from Santa himself."

This is true! Also, I have a kind of sad story about this. Ask me if you'd like to know more.

There we go. That is a little bit about me and my home cities. Moving around Canada is really interesting. It's a huge country with lots to see.
