Nailed it.Your best bet is to be from Ontario. And even better to just be from Toronto. Any American mannerisms will be best excused that way.
"Hi there, I'm @conor mcgregor nut hugger and I'm visiting you from the only city in Canada that matters, Toronto. I love Don Cherry, the Leafs, poutine, ketchup chips, and gravy on items that don't call for gravy. Sorry.
I'm secretly proud that my ancestors once burned down the White House but try not to mention it since 95% of us live along the US border...but we burnt that shit to the ground. (sidenote Miami libtard, you're probably proud of that too).
Now enough about me, if I could just exchange these loonies and toonies for some Singapore dollars I'd like to order a double-double please."
I'm pretty sure that should cover you for a very normal, not suspicious, opening at any old coffee shop.
Fuckin give'er is right, guy.
Scotties Tournament of Hearts is 45 minutes from me this week.Make sure you talk about how curling is a real sport.
Just out for a rip are ya bud?Fuckin give'er is right, guy.

1. Toronto people sound closest to buffalo, people from Florida sound nothing like people from southern OntarioI don't want to actually become Canadian, but I do want to at least pretend to be one when I travel to Singapore in April.
Sorry my American brothers, but I just won't be able to tolerate the endless comments from people on how big of a tard our President is and the non-stop questions asking me how the Big Orange Goon even got elected (I voted for Hillary myself but saying that won't be enough).
Things I've got covered:
- Accent: Americans and Canadians sound the same for the most part, especially if they're educated like me.
I'm gonna say I'm from Ontario since Ontarians typically sound like us or at worst like someone from Chicago or Wisconsin.
- Appearance: Despite the fact that I am a Miami (metropolitan area) native, I'm fairly pale, so no one will question that.
Things I need help with:
- Political History: besides Trudeau's dad and that Harper guy before Trudeau, I don't even know who's led your country like ever.
The King/Queen of England has been the boss until like 30 years ago iirc, but I am shit with my post-1776 English monarchs as well. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
- Sports: Fml I'm gonna have to learn the rules of hockey. I can look up the basics by myself for the most part, but I need you guys to help me feign excitement for the actual game.
So any tips on how slapping a small black puck back and forth on ice so fast that you can't see it most of the time would be greatly appreciated. Also, Gretzky is still the GOAT, right? Or is it that Crosberry kid?
- Current Political Mood: Is Trudeau as popular as he was when he took office?
And how do "we" feel about the Quebecois? Fuck those French bastards or it's a sensitive issue and I'd rather not talk about it?
Anything else I should know feel free to comment.
Thanks in advance bros.
I liked the glow puck but I'm not a fan of hockey.
Start?You should start letting your wife peg you, that will help with your accent.
Yes, the latterOk tell me which of these phonetic spellings make sense:
Again: uh-GAYN or uh-GEN
Against: uh-GAYNST or uh-GENST
If I'm speaking naturally I'd go with the latter option in each case, but I have heard Canadians use the former...
I have a scar on one of my elbows from when I was 14. I was riding my bicycle and fell onto some newly laid gravel-concrete shit. My elbow took the brunt of that fall.Do you have any scars? I can help you come up with some cool Canadian tales as to how you got them.
