Heck, in Ottawa you can live five minutes from Scotiabank Place and be in the country!
But then I'd have to watch the Sens all the time I've been there once, that was enough for me.

So much of that depends on how the individual presents himself. You will likely get some good humoured ribbing about being an American; and by good humoured I mean the type that one buddy would give to another buddy.

The big thing for fitting in is the fact that you not only "like" hockey, but you follow it closely. That and I seem to recall you mentioning good taste in beer. Are you sure you aren't Canadian already?
I'd expect that, and it wouldn't bother me. I'm pretty laid back, not much gets under my skin. Oddly enough, I've had people ask, since I like both hockey and my adult beverages, if I'm from Canada.


I wouldn't be against moving to Alberta. It's farther west enough for my liking, and if I believe Arrogant Worms, it's the only good province in Canada I Google Mapped it, and it's only 25 hours from here to Calgary, which in the grand scheme of things isn't that bad of a drive. Much more reasonable then Alaska(which I'm also considering).

I've heard that same thing from a couple people that have chosen to live up there. Another thing I've always been impressived with is the amount of patriotism shown by Canadians as a whole. It's something to be jealous of.
