How the World Views Canada
 
CA NA DUH


Now that Vancouver is hosting the 2010 Winter Olympics, these are some questions people from all over the world are asking.

Believe it or not these questions about Canada were posted on an International Tourism Website.

Obviously the answers are a joke; but the questions were really
asked!

A: So it's true what they say about Swedes.

Q: Are there any ATM's (cash machines) in Canada ? Can you send me a list of them in Toronto , Vancouver , Edmonton and Halifax ? ( England )
A: No, but you'd better bring a few extra furs for trading purposes.

Q: Can you give me some information about hippo racing in Canada ? ( USA )
A: A-fri-ca is the big triangle shaped continent south of Europe Ca-na-da is that big country to your North...oh forget it. Sure, the hippo racing is every Tuesday night in Calgary Come naked.

Q: Which direction is North in Canada ? ( USA )

Q: Do you have perfume in Canada ? ( Germany )

Q: I have a question about a famous animal in Canada , but I forget its name. It's a kind of big horse with horns. ( USA )
A: It's called a Moose. They are tall and very violent, eating the brains of anyone walking close to them. You can scare them off by spraying yourself with human urine before you go out walking.

Q: Will I be able to speak English most places I go? ( USA )
A: Yes, but you will have to learn it first.

Oh my goodness. These questions just show the ignorance of some towards Canada.

I grew up about 10 minutes from the border with Quebec. It may not be like the rest of Canada but the stereotypes are still there, such as

1. It's really cold there (no ****!)
2. They all drink maple syrup
3. Canadian beer! Whooo! (not!)

Just what I've heard in my short life.

2. What's the best trail to take a bike on to see a cougar?
3. At what elevation do deer turn into elk?

7. Are the animals with collars tame?
8. Can you turn the fog off?

Those are all good. Really, it's good to see so many from somewhere else enjoying the City now, there is a really cool vibe in town now with National flags hanging from Balconies where the Athletes are staying, and lots of people in the local Restaurants and walking around the Seawall every day.
