Taco chain making Trump coments

Granted, I'm an insensitive bastard but that was pretty funny!

I saw this story, and was thinking, they have A Mexican restaurant chain in Toronto, Canada?:lol:

That's Toronto for ya. No guts, no backbone and no hockey team.

They should have boasted and followed with a second

Vancouver has a Trump Tower under construction in the most activist city in the world. Nothing's happened so far, but Vancouver has also had more riots than any other Canadian city, although I grant they are usually about Hockey or "Guns 'n Roses.

I was more surprised that Toronto had a A Mexican restaurant chain.
To be fair my last time through Edmonton, My Daughter have found a place that had decent Mexican food,
it just seems fairly rare in Canada.

I'd be surprised if there weren't hundreds of Mexican restaurants in Toronto. It is the most popular cuisine native to the Americas.

No offense, but my first response was "typical American".

At its silliest, and this happened in this forum, "Oh, you're from Canada? I have a friend I write to in Halifax, her name is Ann. Do you know her?

Rare in Alberta, maybe. Alberta is about the size of Texas and less than 1 million people, the largest city is under 200,000.

Had you been in Vancouver, you would find Mexican and Chinese, Thai, Greek, Japanese on our grocery shelves, but far more oriental than the east. I have not been to Toronto in 12 years and don't care to go, but traditionally Montreal and Vancouver are seen as among the most culturally diverse cities in the world.

But even Canadians forget we are not really a "nation" in the traditional definition, we were a "cultural mosaic", as opposed to melting pot, that became "an experiment in nation building" in the 1970's, when our constitution was formed over eight or ten years of discussion and debate. It is true that a British Columbian of any race has more in common with a Californian or Alaskan then someone from Toronto.

But you dare not judge the world's second largest country by land mass, and a population of 39 million by a visit to a city of 200,000. It would be like me judging all of the US by a visit to Blaine, WA.

It DID make me laugh!

It has always amazed me that Canadians know far more about the US than the reverse, probably because we watch so much American TV. But I do confess no one believed me that I grew up in an igloo when as a child I moved to the Buffalo area. It might have worked in florida

What? Alberta has way more than 1 million people. Edmonton alone has almost a million and Calgary has over a million.

You could be right, now that I think about it. I probably transposed Sask figures. It's still not exactly a widely populated part of Canada, a frontier and hardly representative of any "norm'.
