“Sorry, We Are Sorry”: 35 Hilarious Accurate Memes That Sum Up The Country Perfectly (New Pics)
Canada is the second largest country in the world but it's very sparsely populated. Over 80% of locals live in cities and more than two-thirds are settled within about 60 miles (100 kilometers) of the southern border.
Canada is officially bilingual in English and French, which reflects its history as the place was once contested by two of Europe's great powers. Canadians also have one of the highest standards of living in the world!
Visiting the land of maple syrup is on many people's bucket list, so we decided to see what the fuss is all about and visit it through the Facebook page 'Funny Canadian Memes.' Judging from the comments under its content, this should be not only an accurate but also a humorous and delightful way to explore the country's culture and share some laughs along the way.

Canada shares a 5,525-mile- (8,890-km-) long border with the United States (including Alaska), and it is the longest border in the world not patrolled by military forces.
Although Canada shares many similarities with its southern neighbor—and, indeed, its popular culture and that of the United States are in many regards very similar—the differences between the two, both temperamental and material, are profound.

"I know what you're thinkin'. If successful Canadians are so happy, why do they always leave?" -James Willems, Funhaus
Because our population base is to small to pay them for their talent. Also, our dark side is we hate successful people and try to drag them back down.

We produce good actors and comedians. Our track record for music is spotty but we make up for it with maple syrup.
I like that Celine Dion and Ryan Reynolds aren't in there but where's John Candy?
Pfff. Vermont only thinks it’s a major maple syrup producer

I hold the end of the inner sleeve with the hand I'm pulling through, as I pull it through, never have a problem with this living nightmare anymore.
For example, according to the 20th-century literary critic Northrop Frye, the central fact of Canadian history is the rejection of the American Revolution.
Generally speaking, modern Canadians are inclined to favor orderly central government and a sense of community over individualism, and in international affairs, they are more likely to serve the role of a peacemaker instead of a warrior.
Whether at home or abroad, they are likely to have a pluralistic way of viewing the world.
Furthermore, Canadians live in a society that in most legal and official matters resembles Britain, at least in the English-speaking portion of the country.
Quebec, in particular, exhibits French adaptations: more than three-fourths of its population speaks French as their primary language.
The French character in Quebec is also reflected in differences in religion, architecture, and schooling.
Elsewhere in the country, French influence is less apparent, confined largely to the dual use of French and English for place names, product labels, and road signs.
The French and British influences are supplemented by the cultures of the country’s Native American peoples (in Canada they are often collectively called the First Nations) and Inuit peoples, the former being far greater in number and the latter enjoying semiautonomous status in Canada’s newest territory, Nunavut.
Interestingly, two doctoral students at McMaster University, a bit outside of Toronto, compared millions of geotagged tweets from the United States and Canada from 2015. They looked at the top 10 percent of words most likely to be used by Canadians and compared them with the top 10 percent most likely to be used by Americans.
They discovered that Canadians, true to form, are just way nicer on Twitter.
The most disproportionately Canadian words on Twitter were things like "amazing," "great," and "favorite." Of course, the word "agree" was on the Canadian side of things, too.
The words way more likely to show up in American tweets — some of which had to be blurred out when presenting results of the study — included "damn," "hate," "a**," and some racial slurs that shouldn't be repeated.
Psshhhh.... that's Montana. Winter and fire season at the same time.

The entire aviation industry accounts for 2% of global emissions. Private planes account for 2-3% of aviation emissions....emissions from cars in the US, account for 5% of GLOBAL emissions (and 30% of overall US emissions) meanwhile, we're up to 400,000,000 TONNES of plastic produced per year, and FIFTY F*****G PERCENT OF IT IS SINGLE USE. Straws, bags, food packaging, beverage bottles...STFU about the paper straws. In fact, stop trying to pretend the selfish, short sighted and unnecessary collective actions of BILLIONS of people aren't significant simply because you can point to someone that is doing slightly worse then you are.
Are… are there Canadian “rednecks”? Signed, an American who is genuinely curious.
Oh my God finally! French-Canadian - Québec - culture is rich and to be respected and protected as much as any other!

All in favor of renaming Canada 'Canadia' to sound cooler say I.
As a Canadian, I laughed quite hard at a few of these. Well done. The Tim Hortons drive-through will be like that until the end of time. The Uber driver is spot on. Moose are basically the size of a car.
Let's not forget the Canadian versus the Finnish approach to bear/s in your backyard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxTKJgsxwpE
The fond memories of edmonton Halloween. Either you suffered being cool and getting frostbite or you became the jet puff marshmallow man dressed as your costume. (For those who don't get it, a lot of parents made their kids wear winter jackets and snow pants under their costumes because their was usually snow on the ground at that point.)
Many are not Canadian at all. Just 80s memes or some.sort of weird right wing meme
Although I would prefer no politics at all in the posts, it's refreshing to see something that's not left leaning for once. I stopped coming to this site a long time ago because it seems like everything was crazy Woke.
Load More Replies... Would you have the same criticism if they were memes making fun of the right? I haven't been to this site in a while but it got crazy Woke and left leaning over the years. Overwhelmingly left. So at the very least, at least it's a tiny little bit of balance.
