“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 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.
Living in New England, I can say this is true. But look at the plow- it says "Masshole DPW" (Department of Public Works). For those who don't know, Masshole is the moniker that my other New England neighbors "affectionately" call we Massachusetts natives... just an aside.
Ah lovely New England -- we have Massholes (me), New Hamsters (friends), Maineiacs, Connneticunts, Row-DIE-Landers... 8-)

Ugh, I grew up on a 4 lane highway. You have no idea how soul crushing it was to shovel the apron of the driveway only to see that truck approaching. My father would actually make me stand out in the road a bit so that it would have to go around me instead of dumping 4 tons of slush back onto the driveway entrance. Parenting was very different in the 70's. Parents were willing to sacrifice their young to avoid that mountain of slush.
It was the weirdest thing, but the most homesick moment I had after moving out of Canada was when I woke up at 3am in the winter and expected to hear the snowplow and there was complete silence. *crying*
Did anyone notice on the top of the truck it says MASSHOLE DPW!!!😂😂
Throw it back out on the road, tomorrow your mailbox is "accidentally" smashed.
This happened to my fiance over and over again, he was so determined to put an actual mailbox in front of the shared apartment house he lived in and he didn't even have anything to do with the driveway maintenance, but no matter how far back it was moved it was like they were TRYING to crush the poor little mailbox every single time 😅 there are stories of people who get so fed up with *legitimately* reckless plow drivers that they cement their things into the ground! Crazy.

Has happened to me more than once...one driver cracked up laughing.
At least he's on the road--we're on a 90 degree curve and the highway salt truck ended up in our front yard after the county claimed we didn't need salt (he was the 9th vehicle that day).
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.
