Yes they do. There are, on average, two human fatalities per year due to collisions with moose. These stats are from 2003. I imagine the fatality rate has gone up since then. Serious injuries are common with moose collisions, as most vehicles undercut the moose legs so the body tends to come crashing into the cab of the vehicle crushing the occupant(s). The son of our landlord when we lived in New Brunswick was killed in a collision with a moose. https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/motorvehiclesafety/tp-tp14798-1289.htm

Yes moose roam free and will wander onto roads sometimes. So do bears, deer, elk, mountain sheep, lynx, etc.
The "aboot" thing is not funny or cute, it's annoying. Maybe 1% of Canadians may say it that way. I just take it as a sign you might be an idiot if you say it to me.
As for Bieber and Nickleback, they may have originated in Canada(we're sorry) but we didn't force them on the US. The US glamourized them and taught their masses to love them. You are just as responsible. And you gave the world the Kardashians, so glass houses people.
Anything you lose from being honest You never really had to begin with.
Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.
if you are able to access this episode of The Naturr of Thing, Moose: A Year in the Life of a Twig Eater, I highly recommend it. It’s beautiful, elucidating and devastating.
I will check that out. Moose look majestic creatures. Plus they must weigh tonnes . The thought of it crashing on a car is horrible. I would love to experience the wildlife in Canada.

Questions for my Canadian friends: Molson or labatt? What is the province that no Canadian wants to visit unless you have relatives living there? What Canadian city is most like Las Vegas? Have you ever stayed in an ice hotel?
Yuck, neither. But with a gun to my head, Labatt? Saskatchewan (Manitoba works too) Niagara Falls No... I think there is one in Quebec City though.
what is wrong with saskatchewan and manitoba? just flat and boring?
Wanna see something hilarious?
Look at Saskatchewan's borders. There's not a squarer defined geographical area on the planet.
I was born there and have lots of family there. Saskatoon is a great city. My vote is Manitoba (sorry Hugh).
Labatts or Molsons? Come on, Scruffy. We have better tastes than that (we drink craft beer as well ya dork). Having said that... Canadians for sure (Molsons).
Vancouver is the best city in our country. I don't live there anymore, but it's awesome (outside of the traffic). Halifax is pretty damn special as well. Ontario people are likely going to start pulling their hair out and demanding I mention Toronto... and Quebec people are going to insist on Montreal or Quebec City... but there not personal favourites of mine (and I say this with limited experience in any of those three).
my vote would also be Manitoba if I didn't live here. Winnipeg is a dump. Seriously. I take no offense to people dissing where I live as I had no hand in creating it.
the thing is, the city is not what I'd recommend people visit. we don't have amazing architecture. some of our areas are a time warp back to the 1970's. and our reputation as a hub of murder and aboriginal poverty/violence doesn't serve us well. I'd recommend our vast options of outdoor attractions. the lakes, camping, beaches, even our northern attractions like Churchill, etc, not to mention more hidden gems of culture that we have, and that you'd really only know about if you lived here or visited here often, are what makes manitoba an awesome place.
Saskatoon is very nice. Went there to see Velvet Revolver in 2005. Very new, clean city.
labatt or molson? both are bottled urine.
I love Vancouver, but also Montreal (except for one glaring issue: no back lanes = front street garbage collection-it's fucking disgusting). I haven't been further east than Montreal, but would love to visit the maritimes.
and the music that has come out of Winnipeg. second only to Kingston in terms of per capita comparisons. amazing music scene. especially in the 90's.

That's one of the two things I don't like about New York, too. Every evening, if you're out walking somewhere, you're dodging and dancing around overflowing piles of garbage bags on the sidewalks. That and the noise.
Re: the wildlife, cougars are still sometimes found in and around Victoria, where I live. Generally in the suburbs but a couple of years back there was a well publicized incident of a cougar in the underground parking garage of a downtown hotel.

I've never NOT heard a Canadian say aboot. I mean, perhaps it's not that exaggerated, but it definitely sounds different than any other non-Canadian, western English-speaking person I've ever heard say it. It's more lilke "abeauwt."

Absolutely. Been traveling to Canada for almost 15 years. Never NOT heard it.....and it still makes me giggle every, single, time.
while I acknowledge that we have some linguistic difference, we do NOT say ABOOT. If we did, I'd hear a difference in how you folks say it. and I don't. We say "roof", and you guys bark when you say it "ruff". But our abouts are the same. I think you guys are hearing something you want to hear. too much southpark maybe.

Like I said, "aboot" is a bit exaggerated, most likely due to the likes of South Park. It's not like putting a boot on your foot. But there IS a difference and I've heard EVERY Canadian ever say it. It's not an "ow" sound like ouch or owl. It's almost like a french -eaux but with a very minor tweak.
