I know that every Province and every State have lists like this, and most e-mailer's get one at least once a year, but today I thought I'd post my Provinces. I agree with most of these statements. And I challenge you, that if you don't understand one - just ask someone (or me) from British Columbia to clarify. Or might have some that you share if you're not from these parts - I'd love to hear all about it.
Enjoy:
