Review (in 1996):

Many Canadians are concerned about American cultural dominance.  This silly site takes direct action against the “hosers” (that’s Canadian parlance for “Americans”, it seems) by taking the average “hosehead” page and “Canadianizing” it.  Beauty, eh?  You just enter the URL of your favorite site, and this gadget “translates” the page by adding well-placed burps and back bacon references.  For example, a visit to the White House now begins with “G’day, eh, and welcome to the House of Commons”.  Then you can link to “The Hosehead’s Cabinet”.  Beauty, eh?

Some of the funniest results can be obtained by aiming the translator at serious Canadian sites, like the Molson brewery (carin’ for your brewski BURRRP!  Scuse me eh?).
