Well, second, actually, after the law of the River Kingdoms. But right after self reliance and right to own your own destiny is the internationally held understanding that Canadians are meant to control everything. This is your opportunity to unleash that tiny part of you way, way, down deep in your heart that knows Canadians are meant to be number 1 (right after gaming, of course)
The tentatively named settlement in size last night. Doubled I tell you! And there are many more waiting in the wings *1 to be part of a settlement who's core purpose is not to create a kingdom, but to support it's citizens in their quest for fun. We fully expect *2 that Elkhaven will shortly be one of the largest settlements in the land.
While the settlement's current guilds lean good, the settlement itself will strive to be an open and inviting community that supports everyone and anyone who chooses to live within our city walls and to welcome travelers of all kinds.
You want Clerics? We got'em; Crafters? We got those too. Fighters, Rogues, Diplomats, Merchants, we've got it all. Hookers? We don't got those. But you should totally go to Kevin's inn and tell him I sent you.
Those of you with Early Enrollment in Pathfinder Online should totally support (tm) by casting your vote for Erastil's Irregulars to sponsor a settlement in the initial Land Rush at Goblinworks. Tell 'em Cal sent you...
*1 Or at least waiting on Credit card processing and account transfer issues....
*2 In the language of the horlinguithanstralianicktermentanranites, for whom expect loosely translates as One may always hope, but one shouldn't hold one's breath.

I have relatives in Canada, and I always tease them with this story. I'm not sure if the story is true or just a myth.
When the Spanish explorers had crossed through North America (U.S.A. lower 48) and were in what would become Canada, they had to tell the King of Spain what they had found.
The explorers sent a brief message home, on what they found... "Ca de Nada" or loosely translated to "Here, there is Nothing".

I am moving to canada later this year I hope... eh
Planning to move to Canada makes you a Canadian. As does having landed here in order to transfer to another flight, or having spent more than 72 hours here on vacation or having flown over any part of the country, including our non-dependency the Turks and Caicos Islands. Or having been bitten by a Canadian mosquito at any time.

Mouuuuuuuuuuuuuuriiiiiiiiiiiiiir pouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuur... LE CAAAAANADAAAAAAAAAAA !
While Canada is proud to have the best and brightest fight on our behalf, we of Elkhaven hope to work extraordinarily hard to ensure there is as little dying as possible on our side of the equation.

Whew. For a minute there I was worried I might be Canadian and have to start caring about hockey. Fortunately, the only time I've been there I walked, stayed less than an hour, and it was in Winter... so no mosquitos. I'm safe.

Depends. Did you eat or drink anything while you were here? Have you ever watched Hockey on television? If so, it may be too late for you, too.

Its alright. Should Canada take over the world, I'll be the power behind the throne. You see, I'll bribe the king with food that has *flavor* to it, the rarest of treasures in Canada.
I'm joking. Mostly.
People who come from a country that didn't invent Poutine or Sugar Pie have little to offer on the culinary-bribery front.

If you think Poutine is the height of culinary satisfaction, I think I can bribe you quite easily...
Does Elkhaven have Maple Syrup?

I am not Canadian, but Poutine is something sublime at the right time. Especially after a cold winter day outside... Yum!

Well, the *one* time I tried poutine, I began to doubt the sanity of my Canadian friends. It tasted like, well, watered down gravy that had had the flavor removed.
Proper gravy comes from the south and involves biscuits. Want me to swap organizations? Fried shrimp, biscuits and gravy, and pitcher of sweet tea. I'm yours.

No, it was originally supposed to be CND, but they spelt it out as "see, eh, enn, eh, dee, eh".

It saddens me that someone served you inadequate Poutine. I can only assume the offender was a non-Canadian fraudulently presenting themselves as knowing something of poutine in an attempt to curry favour with you.
While I am fond of fried shrimp and biscuits, it appalls me that there are still people on earth who think that southern "gravy" is superior to anything.
You clearly haven't had good southern gravy, then. Chicken/ham gravy is delicious when made right.

I will at least pretend to defer to your experience. My one experience with Southern gravy was 23 years ago, and I haven't tasted it in the back of my throat in over a decade.
(edit) And I'm well aware that good gravy can be made from chicken and/or ham.

Swiss Chalet, in fact. I was assured that it was the height of local culinary delights. Of a group of seven, not a single dish would have been requested again.
If I venture up north again, I'll try to build up the courage to try it again.

You let the Swiss feed you?
I hope you do return, and if you visit Saskatchewan, I'd be pleased to host you to poutine with BBQ chicken on top at the local BBQ place.

Pish. It's a big country and (contrary to popular culture) the Mounties do not always get their man.
Besides, Elkhaven cares not whether your passport is in order, as long as you don't get caught stabbing anyone in the back.

By the way, this is a myth.
Canada actually originated from the Native word kanata, which means village, or settlement.

Food providers in Elkhaven, aside from being expected to do a brisk trade in Canada's traditionally higher alcohol ales and Poutine, will be encouraged, though not required, to offer Saskatoon Berry Pie. This quintessentially Canadian Prairie treat is sure to delight visitors and is oft rumored to be one of the sources of Elkhaven Residents' widely-renowned sexual prowess.

Not to be a jerk buuuuttttttt.....
The A-holes from Vancouver's Quidditch team are way too violent.
For instance:
One of them drop-kneed me in the sternum a good three seconds after I stopped a goal and was on the ground (pro dive skillz). Anyway as the force very nearly cracked my sternum, which can cause serious permenant, even fatal, damage, I told him if he ever did it again I would kill him.
They took exception to that :I And then the ref tried to warn me about threats. I told him that if he wasn't going to call fouls on things that could be very damaging (EMT's nodding their heads in the background) I would have to deter it myself. He took exception to that too.
On a side note, they still won the tournament, which was ok because their goalie was hawt. I got an awesome bruise the size of a pancake.
Saskatoon on the other hand, is probably one of the best places on earth.

I'd say I'm sorry about the Vancouver A-holes, but there's no point. I'm Canadian. You already know I'm sorry.
Saskatchewan is lot like California except for being completely flat instead of mountainous, and growing a lot of wheat and canola instead of reality TV stars.
Oh, and Shannon Tweed moved from Saskatoon to California instead of the other way around.
And having approximately 4 residents per square mile.

Almost forgot. The very real possibility that we now have more wild boars than people in the province.
