Am I Canadian quiz..

This quizz requires an example of a true canadian (self proclaimed, of course).
We will use Darren. For this exercise, let us assume he is straight. At a company party Darren gets extremely lucky and scores the blonde receptionist with the huge hooters. All are wasted, all is well. A couple days later, at work, he walks up on a group of girls talking and he overhears the receptionist tell the group about her encounter with Darren....seems she said that if he had an erection and walked into a wall he'd break his nose. Darren is "devastated" and takes the rest of the day off.

Which of the following would be the typical canadian reaction?
1- Would Darren demand a year or two off with pay to get over the damage to his self esteem (after all, it did happen at work)?
2- Would Darren sue the company because he was slighted by one of their employees and they should have had a government inspector on site policing for remarks as this?
3- Would Darren call social services and demand they airlift a councellor to "treat" him at once?
4- Would Darren claim all the land and the fishes west of the canadian sheild because he had a great great ancestor who, as legend says, was also the victim of a comment about his inadequacy and now he knows first hand how it "feels"?
5- Would Darren say something totally mundane, like "did you know 99.9987083% of Americans die bankrupt because they could not pay their medical bills", in a canadian effort to distract attention away from his inadequacy?.
6- Would Darren demand a perscription for pot to ease his pain?
7- Would Darren expect the "free" health care sytem to pay for a penile implant? Would his councelor be able to arrange some taxpayer supported funding to replace his lost wages for the prescribed 15 year recovery period?
8- Would the taxpayer be on the hook to re-train him for a new career, (as a frogs egg counter or artist for example), because he suffered imeasurable pain at work?
9- Would Darren be able to recruite govt employees from no less than a dozen different agencies to force his employer into bankruptcy because, after all, current liberal dogma dictates that employers are always guilty of everything?
10- Would Darren be entitled to privileged parking spots because of his disability/inability?
11- All of the above
