Things I Learn by Watching the CBC

One thing I've noticed that I find amusing is that companies/corporations originating in the USA that encroach like weeds into Canada undergo a Canadianization process. How is this accomplished? Add a maple leaf! Evidence is provided to the right.

Long ago in my salad days I would joke that my aunt had "defected" to Canada, becoming a Canadian citizen. I wonder if this meant she had a maple leaf applied discreetly to her personage?

Up until Canada elected a conservative prime minister, I tinkered and toyed with the notion of perhaps moving there, but then I stop to consider that it is farther north and colder. Even though it is homeland of Lucy Maud Montgomery and people pause in the afternoon to have tea, I am not yet entirely sold on living there. Now, if it was certain I'd receive a lifetime supply of maple leaves in which to Canadianize things, I could be swayed!
