People From Around The World's Brutally Honest Opinions About Canada
You've seen it on TV and in the movies countless times. That classic Canadian stereotype.
Maple syrup, hockey, igloos, mounties, moose, beavers and of course ... "EH".
But is that really how the rest of the world sees Canada?
There was only one way to find out, and that was to ask them directly. So let's see if we've overcome the stereotype or if we're actually just aย joke to other countries.
Canada's Bathrooms
Posted by CheesyOmelette
"We went to visit Niagara Falls and the bathrooms were closer to where we were on the Canadian side than on the US side. We walked into Canada to use the bathroom. Your public bathrooms are very clean and it was an overall pleasant experience."
Canada's Infectious Laughter
Posted by iSeeth
"I drove through the dead of night between these giant snowbanks with walls on either side of the road that must have been 12 ft. high. From what I understand, even other Canadians think people in Newfoundland are odd. What I found in St. John's were the warmest, funniest, most odd people I have ever met. They laughed at me. They laughed at themselves. They laughed at everything and it was infectious."

Canada Is That Chill Guy
Posted by ioncehadsexinapool
"I live in Michigan. I think Canada is like that chill guy that is always nice. He doesn't speak much but he isn't socially awkward. And he doesn't talk until he is spoken to. Yet you have so much good to say about him. You just want him around because just his presence lifts everybody's mood. anyone else know that guy I'm talking about?"

Canadians Are Human Teddy Bears
Posted by Just_An_Animal
"So I went to Canada for spring break with two friends, and there I learned that...
Everyone really is nice as heck. I've never seen a bus driver take 5 minutes to carefully explain a route to a woman... except in Canada.
I've never had homeless people hold the door for me... except in Canada.
I've never had BOUNCERS be nice to me... except in Canada. I was blown away. You all are truly awesometastic.
You have the cheapest coffee I've ever seen (at least in North America). A large at Tim Horton's is the same price as a small at Starbucks.
And the donuts. THE DONUTS. AND POUTINE... POUTINE EVERYWHERE!!! Which then begs the question: where do all the calories go? The answers are: A. the cold (yeah... maybe next spring break we'll go south)B. the kindness. Cuz seriously... You all are like human teddy bears.
Did I mention everyone's super nice?"

You seem like genuinely nice people.
You probably know more about moose than I do, other than that they're fucking huge and pretty mean.
Must get cold a lot."
