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.
In the US, the person would say, "No way, that can't be real", then they touch it, the bat moves, they freak out, take a video about their trauma and saying they're going to sue. Then they leave a bad review online. In Canada, they're probably more rational and use common sense.
One landed on my sisters shoulder. Sadly it was young, probably didn’t know who it’s true parents were, so whenever we put him back he followed us. Sadly couldn’t keep him though.

I have a friend who had a birds nest on the wreath on the front door, she threw the lot away when they flew away.
They probably would have nested there again in 6 months.

How awesome is that to be so considerate of animals? And what a sweet little bat and we all need to do our part to see he gets adorable sleep.
Canadians are nice to everyone even the bats!! Unless you dislike hockey or, Canada Gooses!!
Canada Geese are also referred to as "Chicken Cobras" and "Feathered Velociraptors" that have all the viciousness channeled into them from Canadians until needed.

Aren't bats that are out in daytime usually a sign of possible rabies? The one that was out mid day at my work ended up being rabid. Patients and kids were trying to take pictures with it so I had to try catch it. It grazed my finger when it tried to bite me so I had to get treated. Very painful ordeal
I no longer live near the caves and cliffs I used to, but while there, I rescued bats and released them when they were ready. A lot of carpenters and painters would ring me up to let me know they had a bat.
They really are so cute except for their wings which look like they’re from a different animal and we’re glued onto them.
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...
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

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.
