To find out more about the Canadian lifestyle and its quirks, Bored Panda spoke with Casie Stewart, a Canadian award-winning content creator who has been documenting her life since 2005 via her blog ‘This is My Life.’ Her social entrepreneurship and dedication to social media won her 2016 Voice Pioneer at the Canadian Screen Awards by The Canadian Academy of Cinema & Television. Today, Casie is represented by the National Speakers Bureau of Canada.
Casie told Bored Panda that Canadian humor is pretty sarcastic and light-hearted. “We like to make jokes and it's true, we say 'sorry' a lot,” she said. “I grew up in Canada and I absolutely love living here. We have a great quality of life! My home is Toronto and my favorite city in Canada,” Casie told us.

When asked about her favourite Canadian cultural quirks, Casie said that one funny thing is “that ‘yeah, no’ means no, and ‘yeah, no for sure’ means yes,” she laughed. “We also spell things a bit different here than in the USA, ex honour, humour, and favourite all have a U,” Casie added.
The weather is also a big thing when it comes to Canadian life. “In Canada, we have 4 distinct seasons so we get to experience a really hot summer, beautiful Autumn colours (and fashion!), then a cold snowy winter, plus the spring where everything comes back to life,” she explained.
It took me, an American, WAY too long to realize they are referring to hockey. I thought Canada had some kind of awesome bloodbath gladiator deathmatch sport that I didn't know about.
Deer are dumber than a box of hammers and will jump directly in front of your car when they weren't even near the road to begin with.
Canadian women are on another level. Picture: Hugo Lorini
Sure they're not Geordie lasses? Oh, hang on, they're wearing too many clothes...
Could also be Weegie lassies, but too many clothes AND not enough Irn Bru!

Montréal memories...ah, yes. I used to be one of those girls. You'd be amazed by how warming nylon pantyhose can be! 😉
we (men) used to wear them under our hunting clothes. they are warm.

It's not the short skirts that always blow me away, it's the shoes. I've seen mountain climbers with nothing in Alberta girls for Cold resistance. 🥶
I'm sorry, but I did not spend all that time getting ready, to let a little frost scare me. Aalberta has only thrown me 1 winter that broke me 😂
Load More Replies... I'm Canadian and I will never understand how these women do not slip and fall while wearing their high heels in this snow
The stilettos work similar to ice axes, once you chuck them in, you stand no matter what. (/s, I have no clue either, I love heels, but in weather like that, I'm lazy most of the time, haha)

I saw that in Canada. It felt like -30 Celcius in the winter. I wore long underwear and a ski suit and snowboots for walking a few mins from a warmed car to a mall and they just walked around like this and with open shoes, high heels. I saw a guy walking through the snow with short pants.
Scottish women: hold my beer (ok, maybe not that amount of snow but cold af and plenty of rather steep roads with cobblestones and snow on it, but a ton of women with stilettos and way more skimpy clothes in Edinburgh some fine winter night a couple of years ago. It was impressive)
I remember having to do this for winter events in Minneapolis too. Absolute nightmare.
This isn’t Canadian. It’s like this everywhere cold, like you know, Wisconsin, a US state. Plenty of other examples I just live here
We do this in Green Bay as well :D i went out last New Year's in a dress and heels in -20° and 3' of snow. Didn't want to carry my coat in and out of bars and possibly lose it! Heels act as ice picks, and you use sandpaper to rough up the front part of shoe in order to not slip on ice. Cold is a mindset 🙂
This is definitely not just Canada. This is at least every major urban city in the U.S. on Friday and Saturday nights. Women are allergic to coat check, apparently.
I can vouch, as a Canadian woman, that this still happens more often than you'd expect 😂
Like I said on another meme before this one. English girls are tough when it comes to cold weather.
I just figured we all did this going to a club in winter.
Yeah not Canadian. I did this too in my early twenties in Finland..
Who hasn't traipsed through slushy snow to get to a venue? Pantyhose will keep you warm on the moon.
I've done this in Colorado several times. My born day is in November. Every year it snows and I find my way around it in heels and snow. F**k it
To be honest, you'll see this same scene in the winter at many northern US campuses. Saturday night going out; they don't bring their coats because they'll be lost or stolen at parties and bars
I live in Minnesota and the girls here wear boots to where they are going then switch shoes.
now that's totally true. did that in my 20's in a miniskirt and heels in a snowstorm after a bar. Cop even stopped us and told us we were nuts. We needed snacks. what can we say
A little snow has never stopped me from getting to the bars in the middle of winter. This pic could be Jasper Ave Edmonton.
Nah, those are foreigners who's just arrived in the country. Or haven't been living there for long... Canadians aren't that stupid.
In my entire time in Canada I never saw such a scene honestly, because no Canadian woman would be as stupid as to go out like this when its like -20 C outside.
You are so wrong my friend. Would you go to a dance club with your winter boots and coats, and having to change? Pay vestiaire to a girl who doesnt gives a rat hairy a*s about your stuff. The trouble of finding all your things at the end of the night, drunk... nah those girl just got off a taxi in front of the club probably. Been there done that

Driving unplowed curvy hilly backroads going home at midnight with snow deep enough on the road that it sweeps over the front of your car and over the windshield in an endless opaque wave, with the side window open so you can actually see anything, in near whiteout snowfall and well below freezing temperature, all while driving fast enough to keep your momentum to get over the hills, but slow enough not to drive off the road into a ditch, and knowing that if you mess up and get stuck, there probably won't be another vehicle along for hours and you're in for a real long walk. Yeah, real winter in the country is fun.
same thing at the beach in Australia if you eat hot potato chips and the seagulls notice.
That's actually pretty accurate, except that the Facebook part should read "We know you bought a toaster yesterday. Here are some 20 ads for toaster ovens if you wished to buy 5 more"
The transport trucks in Ontario are notorious for anything before 10 am. You learn not to follow close as an entire car made of snow could come off their roof in 1 go
Go to Costco for bread, leave Costco with a 5' tall fully articulated skeleton named Billy Bones.

Sooooo from this I've learned it's very cold, and expensive... and geese are a nuisance?
Yup, pretty much. Geese are insanely protective of their nests and territory… they will not hesitate to attack. Our summers are nice but this winter is expected to be a particularly brutal one. Expensive has been a recent thing for the most part… thanks COVID. Hey though, free health care and it is a beautiful country.

Grew up on the border, and this holds true for many in the US. Ah, I'm nostalgic for my childhood now. But not the frostbite that one time. ;-P
I grew up near the Mexican border on the U.S. side. When I think of the border, I immediately think of the one the U.S. shares with Mexico. How interesting.

My ex is from Canada and I wish i could live there with him. Shame I made some poor choices and now I'm stuck in England with no future... ex is currently travelling in vietnam then NZ. A year working in Oz...i wish i had the courage. I'd have traveled anywhere with him. Be careful what you settle for. The advertisement of "life" isn't worth it or anywhere near fun. See the world, learn and experience, life is for living. Don't be like me because you value tradition. Do.what.you.want! :-D
No offense meant, but I think a psychiatrist would have a lot of fun analyzing that message. Lots of intermixed complex emotions and repression.

First! The number of repeats in this thread is extreme. But topic/pics/etc great
They forgot to post this (ice canoeing as traditional extreme sport here in Quebec) Ice-canoei...a9179c.jpg 
The australia one is correct, as an australian SUCK IT UP AND DEAL WITH THE HEAT
While some of these are hilarious, how anyone with even a partially functioning brain could think there are mountains in Saskatchewan, defies belief. I did lol - literally - at some of these. There are many more out there I’m sure. After being raised in the UK until my teens, living in Winterpeg for years and now living in ND via Chicago, my heart is Canadian. Love Canada and her people!
I'm a Nigeria ive heard so much of Canada is one of my favourite places to visit
Snow, yes that very uniquely Canadian experience. You certainly don't see that stuff in any other country in the world.
I would love to see more posts on how others deal with winter and add to list of how to enjoy such beautiful season. Fondue and mulled wine in many parts of Europe, etc.

Don't mix-up ALL OF Canada with the Roman Catholics, thank you. Like Andy Frobig said above: Want to conserve paper? Write a list of countries that didn't commit genocide.
