Most of the world associate Canada with maple syrup, niceness, and more maple syrup. But the truth is... the country stereotypes aren't that far from the truth, actually. Just with a few extra weird details. Like, super social moose or friendly police officers. Exotic, I know. To give you a better idea about the Canadian stereotypes, Bored Panda has compiled another list of funny photos that perfectly describe the Great White North. So put on your parka, continue scrolling and enjoy.

For more Canadian memes, check out these pictures you probably couldn't take anywhere else.

Here's a fun fact about life in Canada. Canadians like to say "sorry" so much, they passed the "Apology Act" to limit its use. In the past, lawyers in court were probably able establish guilt quite easily. All they needed to do was prove someone apologized at the time of the incident and things would start going their way.

So Canadian lawmakers made it clear that an apology of any kind “means an expression of sympathy or regret” and not “an admission of fault or liability in connection with the matter to which the words or actions relate.”

The moose is concerned about your well being and wanted to make sure you were safe and so followed you all the way.

Why would a moose follow someone home? Does it need company or a warm bed?

For any wild animal here to approach humans there is usually help needed, otherwise they keep their distance and just let you look. Could be an injury (call for help) or just extreme hunger (place unneeded food a good distance away and watch them) We used to leave lettuce/cabbage cores, soft/old tomatoes or grapes, carrot peelings, any old veggies that we would not eat. Do NOT do this if you have bears in the area, but deer/moose sometimes just need an energy boost.

Do they let you pet them too if they took the time to follow you home? Does none ever give them a little something to munch on? =*)

You just think he followed you home. What's really happening is he is asking if your dog can come out to play. They've been on the Down Low for awhile.

If the dog had opposable thumbs, that door would already be open, and they would be playing all over the house.

How does a moose "figuratively" do anything? Why do so many people fail to grasp the easy-to-understand definition of literally?

We have moderately terrible winters in our area (below freezing and snow on the ground for a couple of months), my UPS-driver husband and another UPSer had an ongoing tough-guy contest for about 5 years to see who would finally break down and wear pants instead of shorts. After one especially brutal winter my husband gave in and switched to pants, but only after all the hair had fallen off his legs. I've always told him if you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough.
