As the whole world knows, Vancouver is hosting the 2010 Winter Olympics. I stumbled across a website for the athletes to post questions about Canada and the province of Vancouver. I believe it was a site hosted by British Columbia tourism, but I could be wrong and I'm too lazy to go back and look.
These questions were taken directly from the site, I've ummmm tweaked some of the answers just a little bit.
Q: I have never seen it warm on Canadian TV, so how do the plants grow? ( England )
A. We import all plants fully grown and then just sit around and watch them die. It's what we do instead of watching football.

A: With the assistance of enough wacky tabacky, we can provide you with just about any type of hallucination you would like.
