Based on Liska's (extremely amusing) European stereotypes, I thought I'd make a spinoff and do a Canadian one. There seem to be few Canadians on here, so I hope lots of our American friends will post their stereotypes. And remember- this is all in FUN. Starting with national stereotypes, the Americans will probably know most of these: Cold, snow, hockey, igloos, bacon. Back bacon to be exact. There are mostly moose and beavers here. We all play hockey and drink beer (which is stronger than your American "beer" or "juice" as we call it.) Smarter, free healthcare, and we're all friendly, eh. (We actually do say "eh." Sorry is our favourite term. Canoes. Tim Horton's or Timmie's is superior to EVERYTHING in price and taste. It's Zed not Zee, and God please save the Queen when you're free, thanks! Provinces and Territories British Columbia: Mountains, weed, and hippies. All snowboard and ski religiously when not climbing mountains or eating granola. High number of Asian residents. Prone to riots when their hockey team, the Vancouver Canucks, lose. Yet again. Nobody remembers to colour in the Queen Charlotte Islands. Alberta: Canada's Texas because it has lots of oil. So much, in fact, that the hockey team is the Edmonton Oilers. Populated mostly by cows and cowboys, seen regularly at the Calgary Stampede. Currently suffering from major, devastating floods, God bless. Saskatchewan: Flat. Fields of wheat in this part of "Canada's Breadbasket." Flat. Brutal winters. Flat. Lots of farmers. Easiest province to draw. Bitch to spell. Manitoba: Nobody knows anything about Manitoba. They're like another Saskatchewan.. With forests.. Lots of massive, vampiric mosquitos. Home of the Winnipeg Jets. Ontario: Self-centred, wannabe-Americans that need the army called in when the snow falls. (14 years later and Canada is still laughing.) The nation's capital is here (Ottawa) but Toronto is much more important. Home to the Ottawa Senators (cue a sound of disgust from Toronto) and the Toronto Make-Me-Laughs... Err Maple Leafs, that is. Finally made the playoffs this year, causing Toronto to experience mass-bandwagoning. Québéc: Hated by everybody except Quebec. Want to become their own country, according to the Parti Québécois. Speak an incomprehensible version of "French" that the rest of the country is forced to learn until about 9th grade. The real French are amused by it. We've had a couple Québécois premiers, like Jean Chrétien, and to this day nobody knows a fucking word that man said. There's poutine here. And snow. And the Montreal Canadiens. New Brunswick: Fish. Really nice. Not terribly intelligent. The national butt of the joke. Drunk. Nova Scotia: New Brunswick, but quainter. Drunk. Prince Edward Island: "Who the fuck decided that the smallest fucking province needed the longest fucking name?!" Is commonly heard in 3rd-9th grade Canadian geography classes. Red dirt and potatoes. Newfoundland and Labrador: Best accents in Canada. Fish. Beer. Yukon: Cold. Aboriginal people. Polar bears. Gold. Northwest Territories: The Yukon, with less gold. Dog sleds. Nunavut: Northwest Territories but more fun to spell. Impossible to colour. There is no pencil crayon sharp enough to fill those pinpoint buggers in. I hope you're still reading and we're amused/got some of these. Please post your own below. Have a nice day, eh!
I feel like this is more of a you have to live here to get it kinda thread. But I heard Canadians are afraid of the dark.
Drivers here are beyond fucked here in canada I say. But fucken eh for Canada Whoop Whoop Hockey and Beer! I love Canadian!
Favourite things about Canada: Hockey. Beer. Beautiful country. Oh and hockey, did I mention beer ?
Makes me kunda sad to see that this is how the rest of the world see this wondeful place i live in,quebec,there is so much more than just whining french extremist there is wonderful touristic and historic sites with people so friendly you wouldnt want to leave anymore we have great food and of course some are just little whining bitches but there is way more than just this try it and see
I just finished walking my pet polar bear, tied him outside my igloo. Now to fry up some back bacon and maple syrup eh! On a serious note Manitoba is a forgotten province, but everyone that goes to Winnipeg says it is one of the greenest cities they have ever been to! Lots of trees and parks
It is? I thought it was just acres of geese, moose, and drunkards getting into fights at hockey games
