I thought maybe we could spice this place up a bit and pull those people out from hiding

Who invented the block heater?

Do Canadians speak or write Canadian?

Is google "research" allowed?

I think Canadians speak and write English, or maybe French.

I think that Shelley's asking which brand of English is it that Canadians (either or both) speak or write. Eh?

Here's a riddle for her:

I'm thinking of the noun that is the "aspect of things caused by differing qualities of the light reflected or emitted by them, definable in terms of the observer or of the light," and determined by the light's wavelength; with red, green, blue being primary examples. [The quote is from the American Heritage Dictionary.] HPH

Are we talking indigenous Canadians or imports?

true Canadians spoke Iroquois, Sioux and Blackfoot, and unfortunately I don't know what the Inuit spoke.
