jbg Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) No mezuzah on the chimney? Nah. Are mezuzzahs sold in Canada? I'm not sure if Canada's synogogue's gift shop carries them. Edited May 20, 2011 by jbg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tilter Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 It would be a really unfortunate navigational error to mistake Copenhagen for Tripoli. Who can keep all that left, right, north south stuff straight in their heads? Not me. I dunno about that, the north is a pretty confusing place as witnessed by Robert Peary--- He claimed to have been there, discovered it, and the word on the street is that he wasn't within 100 miles of it. I guess some American heroes are made easy &, once seated at the throne never get unseated a good example being Christopher Columbus---who didn't discover America, (arguably the Scandinavians did) but I'd give that honor to the guys who crossed over from Siberia a loooooong time before that. How do you discover a land where someone is waiting to shake your hand? Ah well, it gives our southern neighbors a holiday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToadBrother Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 At the North Pole shelf, the Danes (and Canadians) will find iron weighted garbage cans ejected from American submarines. And a Russian flag... The whole thing is pretty dubious, attempting to claim what looks like it will be an international waterway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeball Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 We couldn't manage our existence on this little planet we live on more stupidly if we tried - that said, I'm just thankful the negotiator/military industrial-complexes that are squabbling/slathering over the showdown in the Arctic haven't based their claims on the magnetic north pole. A moving target would keep them employed and enrich them indefinitely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonam Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) Really? I thought there were one or maybe two small ones in the country. Well I've only lived in Vancouver and Montreal for any reasonable length of time, and there are certainly several in both cities. Some fairly decent sized ones too. A quick google of any city name in Canada and the word "synagogue" will bring up a list of a bunch of em as well as a map of where they are.

bloodyminded Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Really? I thought there were one or maybe two small ones in the country. Now you know you're wrong. There's one here in Fredericton, NB, a town of sixty thousand people. The Jewish community here is small, but it's enough for a synagogue of hundreds of people. Neighbouring Moncton has one, and neighbouring Saint John has two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWTT Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 OK when you guys say "North Pole" are you refering to the magnetic north pole or the geographical north pole. The Magnetic poles wander and I believe the last time I heard of the location of the northern one it was well outside of Canadas borders. Aswell I believe the geographical northern pole is outside of Canadas border and is under the Arctic ocean ice shelf. Another point is that its freekin cold there! If you want to go freeze your freekin ass off there for nothing go right ahead and book a seat on an icebreaker and nock yourself out.While your up there try to stay alive long enough to say it was worth it and I'll be down here rootin you on! Good luck! WWWTT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Countries are defined ALWAYS on geography. Another point is that its freekin cold there! That's why we have to keep it, saving Russians from freezing. It's really a humanitarian matter.

bloodyminded Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 I really don't know much about Canada. Remember where I come from. But there are hundreds of thousands of Jewish people in Canada. It's the world's biggest Jewish population after Israel, the U.S., and France. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
