On the way home this evening I saw 3 Canadian Military vehicles traveling southbound on I-5 near Southcenter. I attempted to tail them but regrettably, they did get away.

All 3 rigs were Chevy Silverado Crew Cabs, 2 in plain flat green (no camo, just a flat green), one other wearing "civilian" colors (perhaps the 'advance' team?) and also wearing Canadian military plates (something like 4 maple leafs per plate).

Total of 11 soldiers in uniform.
Can confirm that they do let Females drive.

I can also report all appeared to be peaceful, at least until I told them "Take off, EH?!?".

Strangely, they responded by waving with all fingers.

Must be some Canadian gang symbol. Nothing like the single finger salute that is so common down here in "The States".

Aside from standard broadcast radio antennas, there were no other antennas visible, although one did sport a large spring mount on the roof.

Maybe we're getting a Tim Hortons, eh?

I saw the same thing back in January, southbound I5 near Northgate. Flat green Chevy trucks, plus a few flatbed trailers.

About this time last year were I work had a unit of the Canadian Army stop in to fuel. They were on their way to Yakima training Center. There was 2 Chevy Pickups and 6 Lan Rovers each vehicle had 4 soldiers in it. What was interesting was the fact that when they paid for the fuel with the credit card the Leut. and the Sgt Major both had the same name. The Officer was the son and the Sgt. Major was the Dad. I ask him the dad if he was okay with talking orders from his kid. He Replied that " If the bloody snot gets to big for his knickers, I just tell him wait tell we get home and I have a talk with his Mum"! The rest of the unit was in the the store at the time and they heard it and they just died. The Lt. wanted to crawl under the shelves and hide but you could tell the men had a lot of respect for Officer.

P.S I ask one of them why they say "Eh" all the time and his reply was "Well it beats saying HUH like you yanks". All I could reply was huh.
