Alright so there's this guy on youtube who interviews beach goers in California and asks them about topics that the community chooses. In this weeks video he asked them about Canada. To be honest I wasn't surprised...

Reminds me of the old Talking to Americans segment of "This Hour has 22 Minutes"

I think Rick Mercer still does that on the RMR, it was hilarious when he went to some university and asked the professor of Political Sciences shit that he got wrong.

When someones hears I'm canadian, they ask "How do you have internet in your igloo?"
For those who couldn't tell from the video
Mounties: RCMP aka Royal Canadian Mounted Police. It's a national investigative/police agency that could be akin to the CIA/FBI/SWAT. They do everything from investigations to police work to security detail for the Prime Minister.
Poutine: French Fries covered in gravy and melted cheese curds. It's extremely delicious.
Languages Spoken: English, and French (Quebec).
Accent: Largely depends on province. Newfoundlanders and Quebecois have a very distinct accent, the rest of Canada has a very similar accent to the states.
Flag: Two thick red lines on either side with the centre being a white line. It has a red maple leaf in the centre.
Prime Minister: Stephen Harper.
Direction from the states: It's North, derp.
Name a Canadian Beer: Molson Canadian, Kokanee, Labatt Blue
Currency: Dollar. It's abbreviated as CAD (Canadian Dollar) akin to USD (United States Dollar).
Words: Canadians tend to use a U after O, like in the word Colour. It's not a different word, we just have slightly different grammar.

Ah, you're right. Nevermind.

"controversy around the reconstruction of the historic "Peter Mann's Bridge", named after "Prime Minister Peter Mann" (actually a pun on the name of Canadian journalist Peter Mansbridge)." I remember this one!

I'm a born Canadian. When I moved from Houston Texas to Edmonton everyone asked if I rode a horse to school and a whole bunch of other stereotype shit about the old west. When I moved back down to Texas it was exactly the same but with Igloos and Canadian stereotypes. The majority of questions were about weed.

Wow look people who don't give a shit can't answer a lot of obscure questions.
I know most of the answers because I've been there but damn I mean Prime Minister? Why would I know?
[QUOTE=ACupXOfXNoodles;24274881]Cause nobody likes Canada.[/QUOTE]
I like Canada :colbert:
I fell in love with Canada after living there for four years. Now I've moved to Florida and want to move back to Canada ASAP. I'm originally from Minnesota.
The life up there is just more satisfying for me.
[QUOTE=w0lfeh;24275275]I like Canada :colbert:[/QUOTE]
Tis' a joke. Don't worry. :)
I'm off to fry up some national bacon and pop open a cold Canadican beer
I don't understand where people get the thing about Canadians having milk in bags from. I've lived in Canada my whole life and have never seen bagged milk.

To name a few Canadian Beers; Molson Canadian, Labatt's, Sleeman, Moosehead, Amsterdam, Alexander Keith's, and Steam Whistle. There's more, this is just all I can remember

Except for the last one those are all big-name beers and are just as watery as American beer. (Except Keith's, it's pretty good)

Awesome, is it exactly the same UK English?
We should ask people in some shitty part of Canada facts about the United States.
