Peoples initial view of Canada is typically close to the above. They assume Canada is filled with nice people, and they are not wrong...in general Canada is very nice but also extremely repressed (imo).

Since there are a few handfuls of Canadians on this forum, I figure why not answer some legitimate questions about Canada!

(Please specify where you are from/country and your question for Canada 🇨🇦)

I know I’ll be trolled but somewhere in there will be real questions and I’m here for it all. ❄️

In general Canadians know that Americans don’t know much about us or care that we’re right there....

Example: on a cruise trip I landed in Florida and met a lovely lady who was helping me with directions and I mentioned that I’m from Canada and she asked “oh wow, where is that?” And I told her “our country is attached to your country from New York to Seattle....all along that border” and she genuinely did NOT believe me at all. She told me that she always believed that north of the USA was the sea and then eventually Russia. 🧐🤨

So I was curious. When I was on the cruise ship I was looking around in their library and found a few books intended for kids about America.

Y’all fucking use a grey colour to signify “void space” ........for ALL of Canada 🇨🇦 lol 😂

That’s when I knew y’all don’t actually care about us.

No hurt feels tho 😌 if you guys end up somehow accidentally voting Trump in again.....I think most Canadians don’t mind you guys jumping the boarder as long as you bring Chipotle and In & Out

I love 🇨🇦. I got refused entry then they told me what i needed then tried next day and didnt have what they asked but they gave me 3 day pass at the responsibility of a friend. Cool people. Simple minded yet very informed. You can call it repressed but its their culture


I’m sorry you got refused entry.

That repressed nature is our culture and in many ways I think it’s a controlled tactic.

As a nation we’re more worried about offending someone or hurting someone’s feelings that we don’t actually make policy that benefits us. Our pockets are open ended and Monopoly money at this point because we’re so busy trying to accommodate everyone (repressed).

Went to Alberta and it was like a knock off of Texas.


Come back to Alberta 🤠

I’d like to meet you and take you to my favourite mountain range just 1.5 hours south west of Banff National...

We could go for a long long walk together 🙃

It is very Texas here though tbh. I try to explain the type of people in my area to anyone who hasn’t been here and I just mention Texas but Texas in the 1950s.....

Calgary was nice, Edmonton was dirty and everything North of Edmonton well there's not shit up there.

I’m assuming you we’re traveling during the spring?

Edmonton has the largest greenery/land reserved for tree growth for a city in North America. Maybe you we’re traveling on the outskirts or just passing through on highways.

We’re you in the area for your work (oil industry?) because no one goes north for anything but work 😂

My friend calls it “deadmonton” ... probably why I still have not gone to west Edmonton mall...

Surprised you went up further north than Edmonton...

The mall isn’t that great tbh. Just a lot of walking and it’s looking outdated.

Why travel how many hours when you can just drive to cross iron and then pretend you left ☺️

I remember when you did that years ago and told people on here. You had fun tho?! Would you actually backpack again? I def don’t recommend doing that in Canada, it’s not as safe as it once was.

Is Nickleback part of a covert Canadian espionage scheme hellbent on world estrogenization?



You ever rode a moose?

Do you guys use maple syrup as lube?


We never talk about Nickelback....we don’t even know who they are.

The only moose I rode was named Dave and he was on a hockey team.

We use maple syrup for everything like the Italian Americans use Windex for everything.

Ps: maple syrup can leave stains

I did that in April of last year. I was hopping flights every couple of days, it was an expensive nightmare, honestly! 😆 I didn't know to and from the airport were sometime an hour to an hour and a half away. I thought since the countries were small, they would be close. I was WRONG.

I would do it again, because it's so easy to pick up and go but I would stay about 3 or 4 days in each place.

Omg, that’s about as redneck as you can get. Poor soul 🙏 I’ve never been to Whitecourt and I don’t plan on it 😖

Seriously, as you know...Alberta has become the economic migrants capital.

Some tips and facts!

1- Canada’s food prices are extremely expensive compared to the USA. We pay a fortune for most things you pay 💰 really small amounts of money for.

2- We don’t have most of the stores the US has. In fact we lose our shit like wild animals when a US store opens up here.

3- Each working Canadian pays $ 6299.00 towards universal healthcare per year.

4- You are not allowed to bother the wildlife or get close. If you’re hunting then you have to have a license and there’s a whole ton of rules.

5- Our housing market is insanely expensive and not because it’s worth more, we just have a huge influx of foreign bodies offshoring their money safely in Canada for now.

6- Canada has two official languages English and French. No aboriginal languages are considered as a part of our constitutional right to speak in our own language.

7- A lot of really cool comedians and actors come from Canada 🇨🇦 😎 ur welcome 😇

8- You can smoke pot anywhere in Canada and buy pot nearly anywhere.

9- We have two seasons in Canada.....winter and construction.

10- Our money is made of plastic!! 🙄
