“Meanwhile, In Canada”: 50 Posts About The Things That Only Happen In Canada (New Pics)

Every country has something that people associate it with the most. For Italy, it’s probably espresso and pasta. When we think about Australia, snakes making their way into your living room probably pop up in our minds. The U.S., in its own right, reminds us of the stereotypes about fast food.

But what connotations does Canada evoke? Polite people and universal healthcare? Freezing winters and hockey? We’d hate to reduce any country to such simplicity, so we’ve collected some images that might paint a picture from all sides: its people, its nature, and just general awesomeness that happens only in Canada.

#19 It’s That Time Of Year Again

It’s maple taffy. You boil maple syrup down until it’s thickened, then pour it onto snow, wait for it to set and roll it up to eat. Very very sweet, but very tasty. It’s popular in the francophone community.

#25 Urban Owl In Vancouver, BC

My boyfriend always gets fooled by those fake owls on buildings so when he was walking to 7-Eleven for a midnight snack he had to take a double-take when he saw this fella. Perched right on the intersection of two main roads, wasn’t bothered by us walking by or by the cars. People walked by and didn’t even notice it! The owl turned its head to watch them walk by but they couldn’t be the wiser. I was surprised to see it sitting so close to the sidewalk. There’s some enormous rats living in that “community garden” and the alleyway, so I assume it was hunting. I have no idea what kind of owl it is, I was thinking barred, but it doesn’t look quite the same?
