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...
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.
Middle pole suggests that there's an umbrella - at least it will not be snowing on the table anymore.
This! The feeling of satisfaction and job well done the first time my then 8 yo shovelled the patio while I was drinking my coffee inside.
I've lived in Southern California all of my life. I don't know what seasons are. I've SEEN snow, but I've never lived snow or lived seasons. I wonder what it's like :(
In Florida I much prefer winter. It's the 1 day a year that I don't instantly sweat through my underwear when I step out of the door.
Technically American, as a friend would say and she was from Uruguay. South America, American. People from USA have appropriated that term!
Shouldn't Quebec be the Louisiana of Canada? Proud French speaking people who hate everyone else doing weird stuff and eating weird things.
Somewhere in Ontario probably. A lot of old houses in Waterloo look like that.
1. Crazy Carpets are the best, and 2. I almost got killed by mine so many times.
We're celebrating the fact that we haven't become extinct yet
9AM Tokyo time is 10PM Quebec time. I'm surprised he waited that long.
The American one sounds like something someone could get sucker punched for saying.
Two team captains. Everyone throws their hockey sticks in messy pile. Captains pick the stick and the owner is on that team.
We used to buy wine at night and called it "Cuvée Dépanneur"...ah, youthful folly. 😏
My grandmother made me a pair of those and I'm wearing them right now.
Nah, I lived in a large city at one point. My husband, desperate for food because I wouldn't let anyone in the kitchen while I was cooking, went out for food on Christmas day. Apparently found an open one and came back nearly an hour later looking like he'd seen the end of the world.
This is true in other countries as well. In fact, this is a picture of Claremore, OK (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claremore,_Oklahoma).
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.
