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.

RELATED:

    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.

    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.

    Can we all agree that, basically, all colonizing societies around the globe have been total d-bags to the indigenous peoples that were there first?

    Argentinians (white settlers from Europe, mostly Germany and Italy) killed most of the indigenous people. Settlers from Britain persecuted Maoris until they signed a peace treaty.

    Oh goodness, we are more aware and at least starting to attempt to make changes. There are parts of Europe that need to examine their history with indigenous people, as well. Can't change anything until acknowledge what happened and the impacts (we definitely are not fully there yet)

    Or more accurately, their attitudes to ward the indigenous people of their former colonies. The racism against those very people when they immigrate, refugee, or seek asylum in their former colonizers’ countries is sickening. They try to act all superior, but are no better, and in some ways are much worse, than the US.

    Brazil... Mexico... although the trend among Mexicans seems to be to pretend that they have no relation to those white colonists. (9% of Mexicans identify as being descended from Europeans, although as a whole, 47% of Mexico's genes are European.)

    Oh come on now. Take a look at the percentages of Indian kids in foster care vs. any other race, the number of missing and murdered aboriginal women and girls, the prevalence of suicide and addiction issues in reserves and first nations communities, and realize it's still happening.

    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.

    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.
