Oh, Canada, the land that sounds almost made up. Famed for its politeness, endless maple syrup, and free healthcare, the country seems like a dream already. But when you add the more villainous side to the mix, like the geese that are always prepared for combat and the seemingly never-ending cold, it’s like you’re in a fairytale land. Add a bunch of wild animals and plaid and you've got yourself a weird Disney movie.

This inoffensive weirdness is reflected in the many Canadian memes floating around the internet. They’re always a little self-deprecating, a little modest, and never too in-your-face. The ones you’ll find in the list below were acquired at Only in Canada, a Facebook group with over 438,000 members. Scroll down to enjoy the selection.

It's highly likely the goose made a nest on the moose, and hisses whenever a predatory comes near, thus protecting the moose. Because nothing is more fierce than an angry, hissing goose.

One of the most beloved Canadian things all around the world is, of course, maple syrup. But while it has the love of most of the world’s sweet-toothed population, it needs more attention from scientists. That is because the liquid gold is a mystery to this day. The syrup is made by boiling maple sap, which seems straightforward enough. However, a lot of the chemical reactions caused by the heat are still unknown because sap is so complicated. That’s why replicating the flavor is so difficult.

Replicating the flavor might be necessary as reservoirs of this deliciousness is limited. Just in 2021, we all experienced a worldwide maple syrup shortage. To manage it, Canadians, more precisely, the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers, tapped into their strategic reserve to fix the problem. They released an additional 50 million tons of the good stuff. It’s not the first time they had to do it, too. Three years before that, in 2018, they had to dip into their stockpile as well.

    The reason why shortages happen is because the harvest period highly depends on weather. It can only happen for a limited time during the year, when the temperatures are above freezing during the day, but still drop below 32°F at night. Back in 2021, the spring harvest period was too short to collect enough supply, which caused the unfortunate situation.

    It’s important to note that, if done responsibly, sap harvesting does not affect the growth of the tree. After all, it takes about 42 gallons of sap to get 1 gallon of syrup. That is why there are strict rules in place to regulate it. One can only tap 1–1.5 quarts of sap per tree, or one tenth of a tree’s sugar. Maples have to be over 8 inches in diameter to be tapped and even the biggest ones can only be tapped up to three times a year.

    The produced syrup is classified according to color and taste. The deeper the color, the later in the season it’s harvested, the stronger the flavor it has. And it can be used everywhere, not just on pancakes and waffles. That is why the myth that Canadians use it every day is not so far from the truth. People put it in their morning coffees, use it in salad vinaigrettes and marinades, and replace the sugar with it in baked goods.

    When it comes to nutritional value, it’s important to remember that maple syrup is a sweetener that’s high in sugar, so it’s not going to be incredibly healthy. However, it does have some valuable nutrients in it such as calcium, potassium, iron, zinc, and manganese. One study also found that it has 24 different antioxidants, with darker ones having more than the lighter ones. So, replacing your average refined sugar with maple syrup does have some small benefits.

    Maple syrup has also been a target of a heist. You see, it is not only a delightful indulgence, but also an expensive delicacy. And wherever there’s money involved, there will be somebody trying to play dirty. That’s what happened in 2012 when a group of people siphoned off 18 million dollars worth of syrup off of the aforementioned Quebec stockpile.

    I live in Mass. And the Canada goose lives here a majority of the year that I have seen. Can confirm they're àssholes, they run after you and hopefully you don't get bit,they have a bunch of little teeth. Also hated having outdoor gym class because our playing fields at school would be littered with massive geese turds. You would try your best to avoid stepping in them but it was inevitable, 0/10 do not recommend

    I've told this story before, but anyway. When I was in Charlotte Town, PEI, it had snowed over night, so they had the plough out. They chose not to clear the main street first, because Tim Horton's was on another street, so that had to be done first.

    When I lived in Port Elgin, ON, Canada, a dog would join the lineup at Tim Horton's drive through. He would hold his place in line until he got to the window. Then, he would put his front paws on the ledge and bark once. After he got his free Tim Bit (normally given to dogs in cars), he walked home. He did this once a day for the 4 years I lived in that town.

    I find this obsession very odd. Tim's has taken a serious nose dive in quality in the past 20 years. Yet people still wait ridiculous amounts of time for burnt coffee and food that even Stouffer's wouldn't put in their meals.

    Not necessarily. If it were Canada 20 % and 8 other countries had each 10 %.... Canada would have had the highest number of lakes, yet 80 % would not be in Canada. And depending on the sizes of the lakes it would be eighter more or less than the rest of the world's lakes put together....

    The criminals, led by Richard Vallières, did it gradually, over several months. At first, they were replacing the liquid in the barrels with water, but, later on, as they kept getting away with it, they would just leave them empty. The disappearance of the massive 3,000 tons was discovered accidentally, during the annual inventory. The inspector started climbing the barrels, expecting them to hold his weight. However, they did not and he almost fell to the ground. Once they realized that some of the syrup was gone, they called the police to identify the damage. That’s when they found out that 9,571 barrels out of 63,000 were gone.

    Vallières was caught after the police were tipped off, together with 15 others related to the crime. He was sentenced to eight years in prison, the harshest penalty in Canada for anyone involved in a heist. The man also needed to pay 7 million US dollars, or all the profit he was able to make, to his victims. Vallières says he did it to get back at the federation. Apparently, they had fined him 1.3 million US dollars back in 2007 for selling maple syrup illegally. Unfortunately for him, he got too greedy to get away with his revenge plan.

    According to what I've read on Mr. Dress-up, he and Fred Rogers were friends who were trying to get their program on TV. They went to Canada to pitch the idea after not getting very far in the States. PBS contacted them and Fred went back to the US. Mr. Dress-up decided to stay in Canada and eventually received Canadian citizenship (he is originally from Lewiston, Maine). Everything I know about simple line drawings I learned from Mr. Dress-up when I watched the show in the 1980s with my children. We lived in Downeast Maine and got 3 Canadian channels on TV. Including hockey! Mr. Dress-up was the BEST!

    3. Baseball evolved from Rounders. An English game. 4. Hockey was an English game, you guys just did it on Ice. 5. Basket ball was inspired by the Sweedish Game Ringboll, which (as I understand it), is very much like netball. 5. Apple Pie was invented in England in the 1300's, inspired by French and Dutch pastries and puddings (some believe inspiration may have come from the Ottoman empire). 11. Wasn't Superman the result of a collaboration of 2 men, one American and one Canadian? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    The photo isn't dated but it looks like it was taken after our family visited New Brunswick from Ontario circa 1971-'72, from what appears to be steel supports and the guardrail added, the walls fully enclosed, and the white paint stripped off. This was the same bridge when my Mom (who took the picture), Dad, brother, our dog Inky, and I were there in the early 1970s. :) newbrunswi...978e23.jpg newbrunswick-65fe91a978e23.jpg

    Why does it say ward creek? I just looked at it on google maps and it spans the St. John river. Which makes more sense than a 1282 foot long bridge over a creek. Second question - why the sign for a Canadian bridge listing feet? Y'all are always banging on about how the metric system is better. lol (I mean, it probably is - but why feet in this instance?)

    I guess if you have warm to hot, sunny weather all year round it's just normal for you. Where I am we get about 3 months of summer, and one of those months is the only ideal time to go swimming at the lake. By August it's getting cooler, days are shortening, wasps are chasing us everywhere, and there is a lot of rain during those 3 months, or drought, endless humidity, heat and smoke from wildfires.... yeah, summer has been sucking for the past few years. But, and that's a big BUT, at least getting outside is a breeze without having to consider time in putting on snow pants, snow boots, parka, toque, earmuffs, scarf, gloves, mittens and then trying to get to the bus stop through piles of snow or driving on slippery, unplowed streets trying to guess where the curb is supposed to be and the other lanes. Winter sucks unless you're doing a fun winter activity, like tobogganing and skating. Even then, you can only enjoy those during a short span when it's not -40 with a biting windchill. We used to have better winters. Our winters have also sucked in the past few years.
