Yes, there are Canadian stereotypes.
Yes, we do live in igloos
Yes, our diets consist of ONLY maple syrup and beer.
...Okay so those are not true. Maybe the beer and maple syrup part are, but I haven't seen an igloo before.
Unless snow forts count.
If they do then I used to build Igloos as a child. Cool.
I was motivated to write this post based off of todays weather. (March 12, 2014)
For most people around the world, yesterdays weather here in Southern Ontario (March 11, 2014) may have been considered cold. Due to the weather we have had all winter long, any weather that ranges from 0 degrees to -5 degrees is considered a blessing. I literally can't count the amount of comments I heard about how gorgeous outside it was.
I'm pretty sure I saw a few t-shirts, it was amazing, and finally everyone could see spring just around the corner.
And then today happened.
Only in Canada, can the weather change COMPLETELY in less than 24 hours. Snow is crazy. Roads are crazy. School is closed. (yay). Below is a picture of what I can see, or really can't see, over my balcony
Beautiful, isn't it?
Of course, being a Canadian, I don't really mind.
I mean, I do get a snow day and do not have to go to school, I can catch up on my homework and it is not as cold as January (frost bite, frost bite every where).
For people that are unaware, Canada can get warm, like, really warm.
A few summers ago I am pretty sure we broke records with how hot it was.
So, to wrap this up, only in Canada can we feel both January weather and April weather in less than 24 hours.
Some other awesome things about being Canadian that are 100% true
- Hockey players, gotta love 'em
- Tim Hortons = Roll up the rim = Free Coffee = Great
- We are polite (this Canadian stereo type I am so proud of)
- Beer
- Up North (have you been there? If not, GO NOW. Amazing)
That's really all I can think of. Here is a link to check out that features more Canadian stuff. Hilarious.
