The country located geographically to the north of the U.S. west of Greenland and across the arctic ocean from Russia. Known internationally for its cold climate, hockey, beer etc. The large Canadian cities like Toronro, Montreal and Vancouver are some of the nicest in the world. Canada is known for it's ability to get along with the rest of the world and its peace keepers. The predominantly caucasian population is thought to be somewhat more racially tolerant than that of the U.S. however this facade quickely fades in private company or in the presence of alcohol. The largest minority in Canada are the aboriginals, who were not exterminated to the same extent as their American counterparts. They have a lower quality of life on average than other groups and so recieve a lot of aid from the governent. This is much to the chagrin of the caucasians.
Stereotypically, other minorities live in fairly insular (thought often quite prosperous) communities, unlike their American counterparts who are thought live in more of a "melting pot."
Canada is known for its universal healthcare and other social programs.
Canada has a small, though highly trained and well organized military.
Canadian inustry is focused mainly in the natural resources and agricultre sectors. The Canadian dollar is usually worth less than the American dollar, though at the time of the writing it is actually worth more.
Canada has Both French and English as it's official languages, and despite the convinience of being able to find English labels and instructions in even the most French parts of Quebec (or French in the most English parts of Alberta), this creates much political discord. There is a mutual antipathy between English and French Canadians.
So you're from Canada eh?

A safe and NICE country that doesn't go around making enemies, and supressing ppl like our friends down south. We dont oppress ppl so terrorists dont fuck with us.

a place where only a few hundred posts back was "completely and utterly economically dependant upon the USA" and now is doing quite well financially regardless of the fact that our neighbour to the south that we so desperately relied on is going through financial collapse
FOX NEWS HOST 3 YEARS AGO: Canada would be Nothing without the United States. If it was for our cash in their economy they'd be living in a third world conditions
REALITY TODAY: America's economy is in the crapper and as a result many countries around the world have also been greatly effected, that is except Canada who despite having such close economic ties with the USA, seems to be barely feeling the pinch of the crisis to the south.

Canada is basically The USA except for a few key differences in with our government and culture.
1. Canada doesn't have a huge military because it doesn't need a huge military.
2. We don't say "eh?" all of the time I don't really know where that stereotype came from but it waaay over used.
3. We are not under educated; i live in Vancouver near UBC which is one of the top 50 ranked universities in the world.
4. Ok fine maybe there's a thing with beer...
5. And weed...
6. Hockey is not our national sport although most canadians think this as well as americans, it's actually lacrosse.
7. We may not have a big military but that is not to say we don't contribute our fair share in wars. Our population is only 34 million so sending the same amount of troops that the USA does would be outrageous.
8. Yeah canadians can be assholes on the internet; but that is because were so god damn annoyed at all of the americans playing of every stereotype good or bad in every single social media.
9. We are not part of the United Kingdom by any reasonable definition; the monarch serves a symbolic roll as head of state but has no real power.
10. The majority of us don't hate americans it's just those of us who are annoyed at the americans (see 8).
Canadian's Stereotype of an American:
American 1: dude lets go to McDonalds and get fat then talk shit about Canada!
American 2: dude you just read my mind.
American 1: God bless America.
American's Stereotype of a Canadian:

Canadian 1: Arn't you gonna do somethin' aboot this?
Canadian 2: Eh?

We are not Americans. Not everyone lives in an igloo. We do not bathe in maple syrup, but if we could, we would. It's not winter 12 months a year. We have a goose named after us. It's okay to say 'EH'! Not everyone has a pet polar bear. We think the mounties uniform is stylish. The beaver is a cherished animal. We do not say 'Aboot' we say 'About' like everyone else. The best freakin' country in the world since 1867.
Canada is pretty damn cool. Deal. With. It.
