5 things Canadians do best
Canadians have a global reputation for being friendly and polite. However, Ca- nucks have a lot more going for them than being well-mannered. To celebrate Canada Day, here are five things that this country and its citizens do best. 1. COMEDY What do Eugene Levy, Mike Myers, Saman- tha Bee, John Candy, Catherine O’Hara and Jim Carrey have in common? They all hail from the Great White North and are pro- minent names in the world of comedy. 2. HOCKEY This sport is an inarguable part of the Ca- nadian identity. Professional teams have won more championships than any other country, and national teams regularly top the world rankings. 3. COTTAGE COUNTRY Canada has more lakes than any other country in the world. When combined with
ocean coastlines, mountain ranges, unique deserts and abundant wilderness, Canada provides more opportunities to get away from it all than just about anywhere else. 4. SLANG In addition to their regional accents, Cana- dians use terms and idioms that’re all their own. Where else can you say, “I’m going to put on my toque, drive a few clicks down the road and pick up a two-four”? 5. SNACK FOODS FromNanaimo bars and butter tarts to pou- tine and donairs, Canada is home to some of the best snack foods out there. Our choco- late bars are also second to none. In fact, Coffee Crisp, Smarties, Mr. Big, Aero and Caramilk can only be found on Canadian shelves. Additionally, dill pickle and ket- chup chips are unique to Canada. This year on July 1, take amoment to reflect on all the things that make this country and its citizens great. Happy Canada Day!
