And will you give us Victoria? Beautiful city. :-)

england eh? no. you can't have it.
as for hoser ..... i'm sort of the female version.
i like wine - not beer, and am a fan of john prine,
van morrison, bocelli - and not the tragically hip ...
the word hoser evokes - sometimes sympathetically, with gentle ribbing, and sometimes negatively - a stereotypical Canadian male, typically lower to middle class, white and English Canadian. He is especially concerned with drinking beer and watching hockey. The hoser is understood as a product more of rural, suburban or smaller city Canada than of the cosmopolitan larger cities. He's often imagined wearing heavy winter clothing, usually a flannel lumberjack shirt, Kodiak boots and a tuque. He is generally a young adult to middle age, and may be somewhat aggressive given the beer and hockey, but may conversely be passive and amiable, given the beer. In musical culture, he is correlated with classic and mainstream rock music, particularly with Rush and the earlier, rowdier works of The Tragically Hip.
