Maybe if it had looked to other melons for inspiration it would have thrived a bit better. If it were more suitable for exporting it could still be one of the most important melons in North America! ...but as it stands it's kind of a thing in Montreal while no one else (except for us, now) has ever heard of it.

Good stuff

This thread is starting to feel like a mob of angry raged men let loose to demo a house, an open house word -of mouth party where mom and dad are out of town, and a paint ball fight with dwarf tossing all rolled into one..

I'm over the top pleased..

Now if mods can just let this one go.

Now, where are some certain Albertans' moxy to fight back on some of the comments thrown their way. I know you have it in you.

The best part of this is that this picture is from Southern Ontario.

Phew! I was crossing my fingers that it wasn't from Quebec! (What with the LUC at the back of that John Deere, which is Luke in French.)

The best part about the Alberta Advantage was the 300 billion they sent Quebec.

The east built the west so the west should be grateful and contribute.

I know coal rollers are a favorite of some of them, maybe that'll help attract them...

What makes you think that, is it because he still has all his teeth? Isn't that how they filled Alberta anyways, they take all the unemployable rejects from Ontario and send them off to the cowbelt to smoke the can-do ganja yeeehawww!!

To be frank, it could have been. In fact this pic could be from any province's rural area.

BTW, this past weekend my gf and I came this close to going to St-Tite for the western festival -- I'm sure pics could've been snapped there that would easily have out-cowboy'd most Albertans. i.e. stuff like trucks with horns, etc.

I've been trying to get my gf to wear her cowboy hat in public for over a year, to no avail, that would've been my chance!

This is exactly why I say Quebec firmly belongs in North America. Yes, they speak French, they have cultural quirks that can be attributed to being a linguistic island in an anglophone sea, but through and through they are North Americans like all of us. They like their trucks, big box stores, backyard pools, suburbs, highways. Quebec is French speaking North America. I love it.

Haha well they grow quite easily around here and the Okanagan. Not specific to here no but very few fruits are.

I often sit alone at night and ponder what it would be like to see Colin Firth or Seth Rogen at the local 7-11, and it leads me to conclude that Vancouver is definitely the cultural, economic, and spiritual capital of North America.

Y'all send most of them fruits to the coast!

Vancouver isn't on the ocean. Never mind the tides and salt water. Where are the big waves? Its in a harbour. If you want a city on the open ocean its Halifax. The waves are huge crashing onto the boardwalk of downtown its not in a harbour.
