1) Eh? <---say that word and you're labeled a canadian...even if you may be from a northern state
2) You're national defense consists of a calvary
3) its all snow
4)polar bears are as numerous as our squirrels
5) everyone icefishes
6) its pack-full of American draft-dodgers
7) you hate our politics (is that a misconception??)
8) you all speak english (many speak french too, correct?)
9) you drink at 16 and drive at 18 (misconception??)
10) you all have blonde hair and light colored eyes
11) there is a non-existant crime rate
those are ones that i have heard...although 7,8,9 i thought up and then began questioning them myself as a possible truth. although i do know that most all canadians i have met were very very nice...not to mention pretty good looking too. what stereotypes do ya'll have for us? the last canadian i talked to told me that he thought all the teens in the USA all went out and partied everynight and did drugs and stuff...he even went as far to say that he thought the movie 'The Fast and Furious' was a normal thing in our country. haha.
