Seeing as Degrassi is made in Canada, I hope it's okay I started this!

One of my favourite parts of this season was in the premiere when Craig and Emma went to Stouffville to find her biological dad and Joey was like "What's in Stouffville?!" My friend lives there and we make fun of him so much I'm from Ontario so it's cool seeing the TTC and stuff.

Hehe I know what you mean. In one of teh eppy's where they showed the CN tower, I was like OMG! lol

peachybubbles

and then I realize, heyyy, it's filmed here! I know I'm a dork, but it's great that something is so popular in the States as well! I never thought that it'd be. I just watched it because I loved-- okay, I thought the people were really funny. I was barely born in the 80s! but their style was hilarious and I thought it'd be wicked to see them again.

Do you guys want me to start making a list of Canadian Degrassi board people?

icecrystals

Wheee Canada rocks!

And we've also supplied the world with notable actors/comedians, examples: Mike Myers, Jim Carrey, Carrie-Ann Moss (who doesn't love Trinity!!) to name a few. A FEW.

Johnnie

I like the original program ad that comes on before Degrassi.

We have garlic fingers too.

And Ketchup chips.

If you make a list you can put me on it.

Biznitch

I'm not Canadian, but I must say, Canadians are the best. So many talented, awesome people are from there. I want to be Canadian.

spazzie

Another Canuck here. I'm actually amazed at how popular the show is in the States, that rocks. And we get the episodes before them!

peachybubbles

spazzie!!! I haven't been on the same thread/board as you in such a long time! I started coming back onto FF, but still!

Mmm, I love ketchup chips I can't imagine them not being available! And Smarties are chocolate covered in that sugar stuff, because Rockets are "Smarties".

Effy11

yummm!

*Lizzie*

Another Canuck here! Can I be added to the list?

peachybubbles

Sure thang

Okay, I admit something: what are garlic fingers? I know cheese sticks, but what about garlic fingers?

Johnnie

Garlic fingers...

You can buy them in the store too, though I don't find them to be as good
