Hey, I'm not a lumberjack, or a fur trader....
I don't live in an igloo or eat blubber, or own a dogsled....
and I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada,
although I'm certain they're really really nice.
I have a Prime Minister, not a president.
I speak English and French, not American.
And I pronounce it 'about', not 'a boot'.
I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack.
I believe in peace keeping, not policing,
diversity, not assimilation,
and that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal.
A toque is a hat, a chesterfield is a couch,
and it is pronounced 'zed' not 'zee', 'zed' !!!!
Canada is the second largest landmass!
The first nation of hockey!
and the best part of North America
My name is Jake!!
And I am Canadian!!!
Now that I got that out of the way, I know all you Canadians will be lining up to join THE team!!

My english is bad, but for the VAC no problem, je parle un français impeccable.

Yes they will be especially jealous when they realize we are the only country I know of that uses a beer commercial to establish their identity. :p
But it certainly does fit in well with the club raison d'etre.
Afraid that is the sum total of my french. Both my daughters are bilingual as we put them in french immersion from the start of school.
Wish my french was as good as your english Gerard. If I wasn't an old married man I would still be trying to pick up the "hot" french girls with "Tu est tres joli" and "Je m'appelle Jacques". Pretty sad, EH!

Alfa, thank you very much for your interest in THE Team, Team CANADA.
Yes, you do need to be a full member. We do not want to give those other teams any reason to complain that we are bringing in "ringers" in order to kick their asses. Especially since there is no need with the amount of Canadian talent in the club.
All I can suggest is if you have not already sent in an application please do so immediately. Try to show up on Monday evenings for team racing and from a political point of view try not to win EVERY race
Their is no guarantee but knowing these guys like I do - race with them, drink with them, argue rules with them, beat them if you can, and they will want you back.

Alfa Romeo,
While the ITBYC Canada team may be for members only, the TR ladder is not. Recruit a team and join the fun!

Alright, no problem. Sent in an application a while ago and I would race but my Virtual Skipper isn't working at the moment ??? I'll have to try re-installing it.

I AM CANADIAN.
So I guess I better put my name down here as well, although now that spring has sprung I suspect that I won't be around much over the next few months... Jake also asked about my Canadian skin, and of course Team Canada is more than welcome to use it. I'll fix up the skin, rename it and post a link when its ready.
P.S. Those of you that don't live in Canada likely didn't get Jake's beer commercial reference. For the online video go to
http://home7.swipnet.se/~w-72891/CanadianClub/CCsales/ad.html
to check it out. This was a HUGE hit in Canada; a true classic of Canadian entertainment

You're right Keith we didn't get it. But I was fairly sure that Jake didn't just make that up on the spot either :;):
Think they got the "beaver" bit wrong though... :p
