Arrow Seeking Member Feedback Regarding Forum Description!

Hey Folks,

As some of you may have noticed some of the “Destination >> World” forums have descriptions while others don’t. The TalkBoard is working on getting descriptions for all of these forums, which is why we’re asking for your help. Cholula and I have volunteered to get feedback from the members, so we would love to hear your ideas for the Canada forum. The descriptions have to be 250 characters or less and should provide a bit of local flavor is possible. For example, we think the description of the Japan forum is particularly good:

There's nothing 'Lost in Translation' here as we talk about the sights, sounds and the visuals of this gateway to the Orient. Tip: slurp the noodles and gift the kimono.

Of course creativity is great, so please share your thoughts! We won’t work on finalizing anything until May 1 to give members plenty of time to provide feedback.

Thanks in advance!

Cholula and lucky9876coins, TalkBoard Members

BTW; it's Canada (the Saint-Lawrence Iroquoian origin for the name and first appeared on a map of the world about 1547)

That's what happens when I copy and paste and try to add the countries quickly. Sorry!

How about:

Canada, eh!

Followed by a French translation of the same (will probably end up being very wordy and obtuse, something like "Canada, our nationalist motherland of distinct linguistic inflection")
