Answer 1

"it's not my fault" is a good one.
"welcome to wal mart", "paper or plastic", and "would you like fries with that?" are also useful.

Answer 2

The most common talking subject in Canada is the weather. Because it so so changing, going from +30 Celcius degrees in the summer to minus 40 Celsius in the winter. You should always check the weather forecast to know what are the appropriate clothes to wear that day and have the right information to talk about. The most likely introductory sentence would be something like «Oh, what a nice and sunny day». It would be correct in a February day with 5 Celsius outside but sunny.

Answer 3

Try the phrase "Isn't Canada lucky to live next to the most powerful country in the world, and benefit from that, yet take almost no responsibility for world events?"

Answer 4

Freedom Fries
