Re: I object to the answer to #10.
The British once shipped criminals to Australia but Australia didn't turn into a lawless despotism. It didn't? The land that drinks Fosters and Castlemaine XXXX? I protest, sir!

Hey, knock off the anti-Foster's stuff.
The Foster's of Toronto is quite good lager. Make sure when casting stones at Foster's that you say "Australian Foster's".
I've been drinking beer since you were still on your momma's breast milk. And Foster's (Toronto, in the can) and Labatt's is all I ever drink now that my palate has been refined.

Pardon me?
First of all, it's "palate" unless you are descrbing your skid building skills. And secondly, you somehow used that word (however mispelled) in the same sentence as Labatts.
Without choking.
Shame on you.

Labatts
How do I put this? It's the Budweiser of Canada. Popular and not unpleasant. This is not the same as good. Seeing as how I've only visited Canada 5 times my opinion can't be considered authoritative. I will say that every time I've been there, I've found much better beers.
If you are talking about the beer that is imported to the US under the Labatts label, and you consider it a "good" beer, I'll have to hope that someday you get to enjoy a truly good one.
(BTW, I was thinking of suggesting we move this discussion to another forum. then I remembered we're talking about beer.)

Not all Labatts beers are Blue...
... or should I say not all of them blow? gd&rfc
John Labatt Classic is quite good for a mass market beer.
OTOH, in Ontario, I'll go with Conors, or Unibroue if I'm in Quebec. Upper Canada (Ontario) makes some good stuff too. Big Rock in Alberta also makes some fine suds.
If you want a decent cheap beer in Quebec, the Boreale line (blonde, rousse) are drinkable too. No Molson Canadian in Quebec; I wonder why that would be? In Quebec, it's renamed Laurentide...

To clarify: Australian Fosters is Rubbish.
That, of course, is why we export it (or licence the recipe, or whatever). No-one here in the right mind touches the stuff!

As Olympia used to say...
before Shitz bought it and turned it into complete crap, "It's the water, and a lot more." Canada has better water than Australia. ;-)
