What are the first three things that come to mind when you hear the word “Canada”? That’s right, extreme politeness, maple syrup, and weirdly pronounced “about” and “out” (by the way, I did ask my Canadian friends about it, and they had not the foggiest clue what I was talking about). These three things, along with severe weather conditions and maybe hockey if you are sports savvy, are the staples of Canadian jokes.
It may be the general good-naturedness of the Canadian people or something entirely else that inspires us, but even the laziest person on earth has made jokes about Canada at least occasionally. Every so often, you will find a Canada joke or some Canada puns in movies and TV shows too, and here we’re not even talking about Ryan Reynolds being… well, Ryan Reynolds.
Whether you pledge allegiance to the red and white flag with the leaf, know someone who does, or just love Canadian humor, we invite you to scroll down and treat yourself to some funny Canadian jokes with some maple syrup puns on the side. Share them with your Canadian friends, and if you know more jokes about Canada, tell us in the comments.

Cold truths hit harder than maple syrup
Every time I hear a mean joke about being Canadian, I go to the hospital and get my feelings checked for free.
I've got a friend and an aunt who live in Canada and they would agree with you.
Load More Replies...It made me laugh out loud. I love the last sentence the best. It is so true and NOT FOUND in AMERICA. 🌅
Neighbor envy is real
What's the difference between America and Canada? The Americans have really nice neighbors.
You have to think before you could laugh. That is the typical difference between American and Canadian jokes.
Four Seasons but Make It Canadian
In Canada the seasons are, almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction.
Hey! It's July/August we get 2 months of summer lmao
Load More Replies...Yes. But depends on where in Canada too. For example in Saskatchewan the seasons are freeze to death and pothole season, but on Vancouver Island it is spring year round
Lower mainland BC had PROPER seasons, I really miss it. You'd get around 4 months of each season. In Ontario, it's 6 months of winter, 6 months of everything else.

There will be point in the future when Canada will take over the world. And then you will all be sorry.
I’m already always sorry, and I’m not even Canadian (Though my parents would lead you to believe that I am)
And it is so true! I still remember not long ago when the Canadian dollars outweighs the American dollars.
Only Canadians Get Healing Like This
You can tell that Wolverine is a Canadian character written by an American. His superpower is healthcare.
Why not? The point is he's written by an American

50% of Canada is the letter A.
Fun fact: Canada was originally named "Cnd", but a cartographer asked a local to spell that. And the reply was, "C, eh, n, eh, d, eh", so there you go.
Too Much Fighting, Eh?
Do you know why there's not much boxing in Canada? Every time there's a fight in the ring, a hockey game breaks out.
A play on Rodney Dangerfield. "I went to a fight the other night, and a hockey game broke out."
I think this one's cute. I don't like hockey, but I like the joke. Go figure.
Cats that could star in a horror movie
A Scottish man walks into a bar in Canada. He noticed there is an animal's head hanging on the wall and asked the bartender what is it. "A moose" replied the bartender. "Jesus Christ! How big are the cats here?" Said the Scot.
According to reddit, they misunderstood this as "mouse." Took me a second.
Load More Replies...Too funny ...Scotts have a unique accent so moose was to be mouse ...
Can confirm as a Scot that Moose and Mouse are pronounced the same. If you Google Maynards fruit gums advert called there's a moose loose about this house you will get the joke.
Polite Pool Party Exit
How do you get 50 Canadians out of a swimming pool? You say, “please get out of the swimming pool.”
Falling Hard But Still Stunning
What do the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Titanic have in common? They both look good until they hit the ice.
Canada’s way of saying “Oops, found it!”
What happens if you lose your wallet in Canada? You’ll get it delivered to your house.
Haha so true. Somebody stole my backpack with my wallet in it, and a few weeks later, my ID cards were mailed back to me anonymously with a note "I found those in a trash can".
Wow, I am totally impressed. It will not happen anywhere else on earth, but only in Canada.
When Buddies Build Moonships
So the U.S. and Canada are combining their space programs to send a spacecraft to the moon. They’re calling the spaceship the Apollo-G.
Our space programs ARE combined though...and we helped build the lunar lander too :)

Canada could have had it all: American industry, British Culture, and French Cuisine. Instead, they got: French Industry, American culture, and British cuisine.
We have more British culture than United Statian culture, for sure!
Sorry, but Québec has it all in the right order and master of Hydro power!
I agree! But please, don’t forget American culture is to be independent and to charge ahead the same way, almost truly democratic as well.
Insurance paranoia level: polite neighbor edition
The other day I bought Canadian insurance, but then I realized how stupid that was. When am I gonna get attacked by a Canadian?
Not by a person, but maybe by a moose or a bear. Heck maybe even a goose... they can be quite vicious!
Please don’t be discriminatory! Some Canadians, like all other human beings, do attack and do other vicious crime as well. Such is life!
Well, then, I would truly make sure that we, Canadians, can vote to make sure that we know how to screen out the not so cool “illegal immigrants“ to the country.
Maths That Actually Pays Off
Why do uneducated Canadians get more job offers in the US than Americans themselves? This is because 0 degrees in Canada is equivalent to 32 degrees in America!
This is so funny! Perhaps it’s easier to get better paying jobs without being excepted by the unions in America. I personally think that Canada may develop better and faster if the important industry could pay more competitive wages but less union rules, and regulations to deal with.
That’s one way to divide a continent
Did you hear about the guy with a map of Canada tattooed on his butt? Every time he sits down Quebec separates.
Technically the split would have to be in the middle and nobody ever separated.
Classic Canadian Logic
How do you get a Canadian to apologize? Step on their foot.
Really?! Is that how Canada stayed British, after the next door, Americans became independent?! 🤔
Toronto Doesn’t Get Its Own Zip Code
You know you are from Canada when… You know Toronto is not a province.
Eh. It's mostly Americans who don't know any geography but their own. Europeans would know that too
Yup! I was in California in 2003 and challenged some Yanks. I said for every Canadian province they named, I would name 10 states. First thing out of their mouths was TORONTO......
Load More Replies...Not the capital either! Neither is Shanghai, Sydney nor New York City.
And also on every beer store and liquor store shelf.

How do you know if your kidnapper is Canadian? He pays your own ransom.
Bilingual Confusion Hits Hot and Cold
A patron in a Montreal restaurant turned on a tap in the washroom and got scalded. "This is an outrage," he complained. "The faucet marked 'C' gave me boiling water." "But, Monsieur, 'C' stands for chaud, the French word for hot. You should know that if you live in Montreal." "Wait a minute," the patron shrieked. "The other tap is also marked 'C.'" "Of course," said the manager. "It stands for cold. After all, Montreal is a bilingual city."
When in doubt, hot on the left, cold on the right. Though, en français, chaud et froid could look like Celsius and Farenheit. ☺
I get the joke, but they should at least colour code it if they’re not going to stick to one language.
Pun game: Stronger than maple syrup

Plot twist nobody saw coming
An American and a Canadian wants to watch a movie together. American: Lets watch Titanic. Canadian: What's that about? American: Yes, it was. A big one that sank!
Canadians probably know more about the Titanic than we Americans do. After all they are responsible for most of the survivors. They also buried a lot of the dead because the cruise line refused to send them back to England and the families couldn’t afford to. Check out Halifax and Titanic.
Also the joke only really works if the people saying it is the other way around.
