"It's your spot in the universe...unless you're in Canada" Guidespot: you are cool. I get that. But why no love for your Northern neighbours? Harsh man... We can only get by on the 90210 zip code for so long. How long must our cities go unguided? Our favourite activities unrecorded? Stop the madness, Guidespot!
#1) We have beavers
Beavers are like vegetarian puppies but with more street cred than bunnies. They’re animals that build things and have their own mini forest industry. How cool is that?
So cool.
And if you’re nice to Canadians, we might just share them with you.
#2) Hockey
We made it cool. Cool enough for the whole world to care about.
We could made Guidespot cool too.
Think about it.
#3) Maple Leaf Travel Insurance
When you wear a maple leaf pin, badge or sticker while traveling abroad, you get treated better. This is a fact.
If you add us to Guidespot, we’ll let you keep using it.
Moose Burgers
Because all forms of meat are welcome on my plate, as should all brands of North Americans be welcome on Gspot.

Word.
Wait a minute, I’m sorry.
Are we saying that the country that gave us HOCKEY (which, clearly, is my FAVORITE SPORT since it encourages not only drunken-yelling, but also garlic-fry-eating and hot-boy-brawling) and Anne of Green Gables (a book series beloved by EVERY GIRL IN THE WORLD) doesn’t have equal rights when it comes to Guidespot?
Oh, the shame.
C’mon Guidespot, get with the program. Canada is the new black.

#6) Our favoUrite letter
We keep the letter U’s self esteem intact by using him in words including favourite. We do this to make up for you guys and we expect nothing in return.
We won’t even insist that you spell words our way on Guidespot! We’re THAT nice!
Bryan Adams
If Bryan Adams were the only thing on this list, I’d still say “eff yeah, bring Canada to Guidespot!!”
Actually, Bryan Adams is a good enough reason for anything. But that’s only my personal opinion (clearly).

Guidespot responds and confesses!
“Ben, and Ben Fans! Did you know that your guide is a hit over here at Guidespot HQ? Seriously, I hear laughs trickling out all over the place… and our CEO, who, um, just happens to be Canadian… won’t stop smirking and nodding his head… I know we are lame and don’t have the Canadian access right this very moment, but I will push for it and push hard… Because if your Canadian buddies (Can I hear a shoutout for old school Amanda and Busy?) are as funny, honest, and as successful on GSpot as you are, we will certainly go down with out you guys on board. :( Thanks for the post Ben, hear you loud and clear!”

Strange Brew
Lilting accents, adorable insults, and an obsession with beer: Canadians just may be the world’s most perfect people.

Dude.
Guidespot, come ON. No love for the Canadians?!? That’s just not cool.
Not being down with the Canadians is like not being down with that foreign-exchange student you met back in your Freshman year. Sure, he had an accent and he spelled things a little differently [I’m sorry, “diffeurently,” Canadians! ;)] … but he was hot! And he could buy beer!
OK, maybe it’s not exactly the same. But Canadians are our hot neighbours to the North!
And this California girl (who used to LIVE in the 90210, NOR!) is going to visit Canada, and it sure would be nice to have some guides about what is AWESOME up there. Without having to decipher if 90210 really means BH or NS. So bring it. Bring the love.
I’ll bring the beer!
(Plus, heh, you said beaver!)

Ben, Beavers & Poutine… how could you NOT add Canada? Plus, it will save Ben having to answer all those individual emails that start out “So, Ben, I’m visiting Canada…where’s the best place to stalk you.. ummm, I mean, where do YOU like to hang out?” Think about it Guidespot… share the love!

You should absolutely let us Canadians, masquerading as 90210 Beverly Hills alumnus, reclaim our real addresses. Plus Ben is hilarious and any contribution he made would be pure gold.
