fun lots of trees and lakes and rivers, we don"t talk funny unless you are a Newfie, we do say eh ant NOT aboot, and no i don't own a dogsled or live in an igloo. americans have (some do) a preconceived notion of what we are about, too bad, they are accepted here.

They're lumberjacks and fur traders...
They live in igloos and eat blubber, own a dogsled....
They know Jimmy, Sally and Suzy from Canada,
And I'm certain they're hosers..
They have something called a Mulroney, not a president.
They sort of speak English and French, not American.
And they pronounce it 'aboot', not 'about'.
They can proudly sew their country's flag on their backpack.
But they only go to Florida
They believe in peace keeping, not policing,
Because they have way more police than soldiers
diversity, not assimilation, (whatever that means)
and that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal.
And their tails are delicious.
A toque is a hat, a chesterfield is a couch,
And you wear one when you're sitting on the other.
and it is pronounced 'zed' not 'zee', 'zed' !!!!
And for some reason this is important.
Canada is the second largest landmass!
The first nation of hockey!
and the best part of the Arctic!
And everyone is Joe.

My image of Canadians? Well everybody is their own person, but a Canadian friend of mine is helping us find my stepdaughter. He's a kind man. He lives in a beautiful house and I have found the weather to be about the same as it is here in the states. We do have the privileged few that have the money to leave Canada and travel. Most of them act all hoity toity. I do not have that impression of all Canadians though. Like I said this Canadian friend is a very kind man and has told us a lot about where he lives. No different than the states eh?

I'm from Montreal and to me Canada is a pacific country with much less ego than other countries I won't mention...We have all cultures combined in Québec and should there be another war, this would be a neutral place for all communities to survive and unite under a same roof.We are civilized people and know how to treat others equally...We are also the warmest people I know of.

Never been to Canada and hv never known a Canadian personally. So, I may be way off, but I think of a French speaking, hockey-loving person who says "eh?" alot. That's about it. Hope I haven't offended u or anyone else!

All I think of is "eh", and that show, Degrassi. Oh, and hockey because I heard someone say that before.
I don't get why Americans don't like Canada...I'm from America, and I don't get the whole thing on that.
This video is pretty funny though.

I have the image like they're snobby and stuck on themselves. They hold their heads as if they were higher than Americans.
I think of the phrases, "what a gas" and "eh"
My fiance is a wonderful Canadian - gotta love the accent
Canadians are fun to get drunk with at motocross races

One word .... "eh"; I'm from California, and the only way I can tell you are Canadian is when I hear that "eh"; which I personally find amusing. Otherwise I think of Canadians as regular people with better health care system and legalized marijuana.... lucky!
