Question for non-canadians

Fun Fact:

Since people like poking fun at the Canadian forces, some of you may be surprised to learn that all Canadian army regular forces have the same level of training as American army special forces, such as thatof an Army Ranger.

Who woulda thunk it!

I hear great things about British Columbia and Kelowna. :P

I live about 45 minutes from Kelowna. it's a pretty great place but basically the only large city in the area till you head to the mainland.

+ this:

I love moose :) but where I am from in Canada (southern ontario) has no moose, which sucks because they are amazing animals.

But it still is somewhat cold and it snows a fair bit here.

Everyone besides me plays hockey thou.

I think of Canada as one of those nice, loving countries. I get the impression that I could walk up to any Canadian and hug them, and they won't find it strange. But I guess it's because we never hear anything bad about Canada.cjek

Sorry, to break it to ya but many of my fellow canadians are AH's.

I think they are pretty cool people. I had a friend in 5th grade that was canadian and he was a pretty cool guy to hang out.

I would imagine it's just like where I live (Michigan US): cold and boring most of the year.

Yea, this area is beautiful in the summer, but when winter comes, well it's still pretty but best observed from indoors.

Then you're not Canadian. I hate to be the one to tell you, but I think you were adopted.

What I know about Canada comes from watching Degrassi...Agent-Zero

What I know about Canada comes from watching Trailer Park Boys. :P

I would never say that. My situation demands I plead ignorance and unable to comment on your original question. If this is all I know of Canadians then obviously I am in need of an education. I'm just outlining my insufficient parameters of knowledge and experience.

Well I don't know where you're getting your poutine from, but mine are crispy and completely awesome. I've never met anyone that hasn't liked poutine..

What do you think of Canada? I'm just curious, because some Americans still think it snows here all year round.x3ni1992

Ok, but you asked for it :)

I know you guys have Thanksgiving on a different day. Instead of Turkey, you eat from a big communal pile of Kraft Dinner, and then gorge yourselves on twice your weight in donuts.

It is on this occasion that the women shave their legs, but not before taking part in a competition for the hairiest and manliest. Despite the fact that 98% of Canadian women take part in this competition each year, Celine Dion usually wins -- beating out both Brian Adams and Corey Hart for the coveted prize.

Eh, I'm just kidding (hope that was obvious). I am fond of Canada, and most Canadians I've met are nice people. I have to admit I am not a fan of socialized medicine, so that's not one of my favorite things about your culture, but that's more likely to be a commonality between us than a difference here pretty soon. Also, any country that can make something as genuinely funny as "Trailer Park Boys" has to be good at its core.

I heart Canada. Especially the West Edmonton Mall (aka the biggest mall in the world). Unless this has changed. It was at least 8 years ago.

What would make it boring? We have sunshine too, its not a huge boring country. Go to Toronto and see the CN tower, go to the bay of fundy, the rockies, the wilderness and the better side of Niagara falls. Is it considered boring because terrible shows like 90210 and The hills arent filmed here? :P

My ex is from Toronto, but I wont hold that against you.

But most of these hockey playing canadians, havent even seen a moose. The only "canadian" thing they do is play hockey and go to Tim Hortons. I go to Tim Hortons, I have seen a moose, I can take the cold, I say eh and I admit I do say Sorry alot, and I do enjoy watching Ice hockey and Playing street hockey. Most of these "hockey playing canadians" in my eyes act like americans, but claim to be Canadian and do canadian things because they pay 5000 dollars a year to play hockey. Nevermind most of them never pick up a book.

So yes, i do actually do more Canadian things than them. My ancestors were loyalists, THATS CANADIAN!

I've always thought Canada was pretty cool, but I've learned mroe about the country and random things about it from my love of hockey lol.

i am from scotland, and alot of people that i know like visiting there so you must be doing something right. :P

Seems like a really dull country except maybe for Toronto. majadamus

Well, you're the 2nd largest country on this planet Earth.

And if Russia keeps on shrinking, then soon you will be first!

As long as you keep Quebec!
