Awesomeness.

There was an uproar when Canada wanted to change our national symbol from the Beaver to the Polar Bear. Personally, I am in favour of the change! Who wants an animal that obviously needs braces!? (lol)

I live in Oregon and our state animal is the Beaver. We are known as "The Beaver State". It is the source of many off colour jokes and ridicule. I don't blame you for wanting to have the national symbol changed.

Have witnessed the ridicule here as well: "Show me your Canadian Beaver!"

I went to 8th grade in Eugene, Ore., around 1973 or 1974. Hippy girls! Life was good!

I live in Oregon and love the name beaver state. Being near the coast we don't get all that snow. I call your 7 feet of snow and raise you 5 feet of rain

My brother and one of his sons have taken a couple short vacation trips to Churchill, Manitoba to watch the polar bear migration. They like the challenge of snow and cold. Two idiots! lol
