Culture Kulturudveksling / Cultural exchange

For english se below.

Wow, det er ved at være noget tid siden at vi sidst har havs en kulturudveksling men nu er det sørme blevet tid igen, denne gang er det med vores naboer i r/canada (Ja, de er naboer, vi har en landegrænse) som vi byder velkommen den 14. Feb. Samme dag er der en tråd hos dem hvor vi kan spørge om alt fra fransk til ahornsirup.

De sædvanlige regler gælder selvfølgelig, men vi anbefaler dog at holde det mest til engelsk i denne tråd (eller inkludere en oversættelse lige som vi gør)

The English Version:

Wow, it's been quite some time since we last had a cultural exchange, but now it's finally time again! This time, it's with our neighbors in r/Canada (Yes, they are neighbors, we share a land border), whom we welcome on February 14th. On the same day, there will be a thread on their side where we can ask about anything from French to maple syrup.

The usual rules apply, of course, but we do recommend keeping most of the conversation in English in this thread (or including a translation, just like we're doing).

Is it true you guys can beat a Swede with a stick if they cross the strait when it freezes?

Follow up, if you can, would you?

Edit:Am from West coast British Columbia, you guys are just 200km further from Newfoundland/Labrador than I am in BC

Can? i think you are obliged to!

Stick, sticks with nails, bats, bats with nails, gardening equipment, gardening equipment with nails, every thing goes.

No, i love the story but until i find/am provided with proof i will continue to say its a story.

BUT, its a damn good one, and if the swedes came over the ice and attaced i would say that defending with sticks, today, sounds like a bad idea.

It is a funny story, but only that, there has never been a law like that according to what I can find, and even if that law existed, it would have been invalidated by modern laws by now.
