Stuff I love about Canada:

1. In the States they only go 60. In Canada we go 100. That's 40 more. We're given'r.
2. If you visit another province and tell someone the city you're from they'll probably ask if you know their cousin Jim.
3. Name a kind of geography. We got 'er, eh.
4. We smother french fries is some crazy-assed stuff and call it our national dish.
5. No matter what kind of cool wild animal you like we've probably got 'er. But some Canuck Monkeys would be cool too, eh?
6. We don't wave guns at strangers but we will push 'em out of the snow.
7. My senior father knows who Gord Downie is.
8. One of our most successful bands is 5 guys called Barenaked Ladies.
9. Doesn't matter what US team we follow, if a Canadian team wins the championship we're all proud and gloaty.
10. We're like a hockey-player-breeding Superpower.
11. Having a bunch of loonies is a good thing.
12. When we yell "HURRY HARD!" as encouragement it's not necessarily sexual.
13. We still pay to see the Leafs and Blue Jays not win ever.
14. Across the world, if people find out you're Canadian, they smile. Except maybe in Alberta.
15. We've got Viola Desmond on our money.
16. Terry Fox and Rick Hansen. Sometimes we do mind-bogglingly extraordinary things. To help others.
17. Our most famous TV shows go by names like Beachcombers, Mr Dressup, Degrassi Street and Schitt's Creek.
18. Clamato juice. Nuff said.
19. If there really is a heaven it's just like spring in Canada.
20. We all know someone with a cool moose story.
21. Even our Conservatives do and enjoy socialist stuff.
22. Winnie the Pooh was named after Winnipeg, and we invented the phone, maple syrup, Drake and The Biebs.
23. In Canada, a high school teacher can become a multi-term Prime Minister and a kid from Oakville with no real-world experience at all can become premier of a different province.
24. If I get the COVID I know getting medical attention won't bankrupt me.
