“Meanwhile, In Canada”: 50 Photos That Perfectly Sum Up Canada (New Pics)
O Canada! Our home and native land! True patriot love in all of us command…
If you’ve never been to Canada, you probably have an idealized image of it in your head. Everyone is friendly and smiling all the time, babies come out of the womb knowing how to play hockey and build snowmen, people will apologize to you after you spill coffee on them, the fountains in city centers flow with maple syrup, and moose run around helping elderly citizens cross the road.
Well, those stereotypes actually might not be too far from reality. Below, we’ve gathered some of the funniest photos that sum up exactly what it’s like to live in Canada. We hope you enjoy these pics that showcase how kind, cold and considerate Canada is, and please, if you could, upvote the images that just go to show that Canada is a whole other world. Then if you’re interested in even more “meanwhile, in Canada” photos, you can find Bored Panda’s last article on the same topic right here, eh.

From the interweb - Seattle’s Lead Pencil Studio put this art piece together to advertise clean air.. and it was funded by the US government.So it’s a billboard, but instead of your normal everyday advertisement in the advertising space, it’s just nothing or “clean air” “Borrowing the effectiveness of billboards to redirect attention away from the landscape… this permanently open aperture between nations works to frame nothing more than a clear view of the changing atmospheric conditions beyond.” – Daniel Mihalyo of Lead Pencil Studio

It's great. It's rotten. It's got horrifying food. It has a history of killing off the indigenous peoples. Its people are kind and polite, or braying jacka$$es. It's... Canada. Grew up on the border. I'm not wearing my "Oh it's so wonderful!" glasses after so much time spent there. It's just a country, and its population has its flaws, its stupidities, as well as its good points. Oh, and northern Ontario has insects that are like a horror movie. It's the only place i know where nobody bats an eye if you say, "I can hear the swarms rising." ;-P

100% this post. Born and raised in the U.P. Of Michigan and have played hockey my whole life and was in a club team in Calgary, Ontario, and near the end Quebec. I love Canada but the whole "we are so nice and polite" has to be the best marketing campaign since " Got Milk". Canadians as a whole are generally nice but omg there are red necks, trailer, Karen's, anti-vaxxers, right wing nuts in abundance as well. They regulate their media a lot more than America so the crazy doesn't escape as much.

To anyone who decides to take the low road and point out that Canada isn’t so far away from being like the U.S. and that you wish to drag them down. How’s about you celebrate the good stuff, reinforce it, say we should all have more of this and then say how your community has equally positive points? Complaining, bitching and naysaying is unhelpful at best. Canadians enjoy spreading the positive and silly, the world is better for that. Find your own positives and start spreading the word, I’ve visited the U.S. numerous times I know you’ve got plenty to celebrate and amazing citizens, talk about them. Be more kind.
