Je t’aime, me neither<\/b><\/p>\n

To mark this freezing Valentine’s Day, I thought I would offer you the
\nTop ten things that act as daily reminders that you are sharing your life with a true anglo <\/i><\/b>
\n(that is, an english-canadian man submerged in a sea of francophones)<\/p>\n

# 10 He thinks you are cute and exotic even when you swear.<\/p>\n

# 9 He dated every anglo girl in town or closely knows somebody who dated them.<\/p>\n

# 8 You hear him whisper the words « devil talk » every time you’re chatting on the phone with a member of your family.<\/p>\n

# 7 You find yourself saying strange things like « Baby, we only have dep wine left ».<\/p>\n

# 6 You see him turn red like the canadian flag when somebody says that canadians are just americans with a funny accent.<\/p>\n

# 5 He didn’t watch La Vie la vie<\/i>, even though he’s a young urban professional who lives on the Plateau.<\/p>\n

# 4 He’s never been to a cabane \u00c3\u00af\u00c2\u00bf\u00c2\u00bd sucre and he’s never heard of drinking maple water straight from the bucket hanging from a tree.<\/p>\n

# 3 He doesn’t know who Daniel B\u00c3\u00af\u00c2\u00bf\u00c2\u00bdlanger or St\u00c3\u00af\u00c2\u00bf\u00c2\u00bdphane Bourguignon are and you have to explain to him the title of this post (Je t’aime, me neither).<\/p>\n

# 2 No matter how good his French may get over time, he will never, ever understand a word of what Louis-Jos\u00c3\u00af\u00c2\u00bf\u00c2\u00bd Houde<\/a> says.<\/p>\n

And the number one reminder that you are sharing your life with a true anglo:<\/p>\n

# 1 You wake up one morning and you find this box of Kleenex<\/a> in his bathroom…<\/p>\n

Awwwwh, but nothing beats them canadian boys, hey?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
