What province does Woody live in?

I hail from (grew up in) Saint John, New Brunswick, and spent about 80% of my Life in that Province. I presently reside in the Montreal,Quebec. I ache for my Maritime lifestyle.

Saint John is the oldest Incorporated City in Canada (the First City), and New Brunswick is called "the Picture Province". Saint John is nicknamed "the Surf City'. When the fog rolls in from the Bay of Fundy Boy - Surf's up !

New Brunswick is one of three Maritime Provinces - along with Nova Scotia (the largest) and we deem them "Blue Noser's" and Prince Edward Island the smallest Maritime Province in the Maritimes and all of Canada.People from PEI are deemed - "Islanders", for obvious reasons.

I really like Harveys handle "the Canuck Rat ", but then their's Guiness from Canada also, and maybe more here from North of your border. We are all Canucks from Canada I guess.

Good Luck.

What province does Woody live in?

Newfoundland I believe....

retailguy:

Newfoundland is the most Eastern Province and the last to enter Cofederation around the late 40's. Yup . People from there are deemed Neufies and these are the finest people on the planet. I feel that, and many would agree. St.John's NFLD is the finest PORT in the World, to go on leave in according to so many sailors I have asked.

Neufies are very very neat and hilarious people, and musically talented as well with strong English-Irish-Scottish roots. Their time is one-half hour prior to Atlantic Standard time.

I can find the bathroom, order a steak, and ask for an english telephone operator. That's about it....

That omission was NOT an accident.... In case you didn't notice.

Hoser Rat

Hi Scott:

Hoser is a term used in Upper Canada, ie Ontario and not at all used East of Ontario.

I havn't even researched it's origin and meaning. I will now,LOL.

Edit:

Did my research and I realize now ,why Maritimer's don't use that derogatory term "Hoser" . . . we are generally far too civilized /polite for that BS.

If someone insisted on referring to me as a Hoser - which is insulting - particularly to OUR Great Canadian Culture, I might - have to go 18 again - on the silly puss.

Canuck Rat is really great, but I'm afraid I'll step on other Canadians here (s) toes.

May I sleep on it? Answer tomorrow afternoon??

Any objection to Woody being Canuck Rat? Speak now or forever shut your yap about it.

[woodbuck27]

Off the top I'm from "the Surf City" Saint John N.B. and I like Surfer Rat.

I formed a Co-Ed Slow Pitch (softball) team after I graduated from University Of New Brunsswick, and called the team "the Surfers".

Alot of people in Upper Canada are ignorant of ORR Geography and they listen to my dialect and say." Your a Neufie and I laugh and respond. . NO ! I'm a Neubie. .

So "Neubie Rat" is a decent choice.

Where's Guiness?

That would be a fine honor.
