Cold Canadians

It’s Valentine’s Week and you know what that means? Polls, polls, polls. Endless polls about how happy everyone is or isn’t, the secret to a long, happy marriage or the evils of the serial cheating spouse, etc.

So a look at today’s poll in The Globe & Mail is very discouraging as it does nothing to dispel the notion that Canadians are unspeakably dull, dull, dull.

Apparently, Canadians value fidelity and intelligence over everything else. Yawn.

Come on, people. How does this make us look on the international lovin’ stage?

"Money was rated important by only 5% of respondents. Being good in bed was a priority for 12% of males compared with just 4% of females." We are the laughingstock of the money-and-sex-crazed world.

"Physical attraction rated high for 30% of men but just 14% of women." Can’t we be more superficial, ladies? Why are we not pining for dreamboats? And, guys, 7 out of 10 of you don’t rate physical attraction high? You are not men, you are Devo!

I know it’s hard to be “hot” when it’s minus 20 and we’re all wrapped up in our touques, mufflers and mukluks, but let’s all stop being so sensible.

Perhaps the rest of Canada are dull but I have reason to believe us Quebeckers are pretty randy...
