“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.
I was born and raised in Texas. This is exactly what it looks like on the rare occasion that it snows.
We had a really bad ice storm in the Round Rock/Austin area when I was in high school. School district refused to let us go home early, and the storm was only getting worse. Finally, after the principal fell and hurt himself coming out of the cafeteria, we were allowed to leave. Nothing like being 17 years old and ice-skating your car on the interstate.

Can't be Canada. We know how to handle driving in the snow... I can see this in most of the US though... Guys can't handle 1cm of snow on the road without having to shut down their lives.
But what's with the first day of snow? We bavarians can drive on snow too but the first day of snowy roads the people go crazy

Nah, that's Tennessee... Lived there for four years... The barest hint of snow and the entire state went berserk as if the world was ending...
Canada? Heck I thought this was the Southern US freaking out on those rare days of snow.
*old timer speaking to youngsters* "Yes, I was there in Seattle during the great snowfall of Dec. 1990. I remember being stuck downtown for 3 days and when I could finally go home on a bus, the trip took 3 hours instead of the usual 45 min. Ah, memories...."

I was driving to Florida (from Ohio) when it started snowing in Georgia. It wasn't even sticking to the ground but everyone was doing 35mph on the 55 mph highway.
Those are the tourists. I guarantee you that a Canuck can drive on snow.
Southern United States. I mean no offense but they shut down everything over a few inches of snow
Inches? If the weather report even mentions snow, everything shuts down. Seriously. If it says there will be any amount of snow tomorrow, they will go ahead and announce closures tonight. The county schools mainly because they have windy bad roads, but before the end of the night the city schools will close too.

Oh, so it DOES happen in areas where people are used to snow? (This Southerner's giving a polite side-eye to my buddies in the NE US. Mm hmm. (
Hen it forecasts snow her in Ga. And the snow starts to fall? Everyone and their brother,grandmother who hasn’t driven in years gets in their care to drive somewhere, like the bank.??? Or even better to the grocers to buy milk bread and snacks.. in case the electricity goes out. Only once has that happened where we kept the milk out on the balcony to keep cold!
Hungary also! 1week winter, but when any little snow is falling, everyone gets mad and everything stops :D
I grew up in WA state, used to some snow driving from time to time. But when I got stationed on my first carrier it was drydocked in Bremerton and locally there were a lot of sailors / families from other states. Apparently not snow states - because the first time it snowed a little bit it was rather ridiculous how many folks could not drive in it. Either sliding into things from going to fast or over compensating by driving 3 MPH or driving with chains on days when there was only a light dusting of snow that didn't even cover the road. They got used to it over time but it was quite the circus at first.
I live near the main city hospital. When I hear ambulance sirens every 15 minutes I know it's raining. I live in Rijeka. One of the rainiest cities in Europe. Thank God that we don't have snow.
One of the yearly news in Finland as well: "Drivers caught unprepared for winter" or "The Winter Surprised the Drivers". You'd think we'd have learned by now
Lucky 🙃 (that's the 🙂 emoji for you Aussies right? 😜)

The scene on my way from Cleveland to Buffalo.3 times. I was driving a rear wheel drive truck. Manual transmission scary seeing a semi flipped on the side of the road. . I;m a woman.the 3rd time my husband pulled over and made me drive because he was too nervous.
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.
