Canada to Canadians:
A Mountie standing between all the world’s major conflicts blocking the worst of it, in the background there’s a stack of Olympic hockey medals.
Canada to the rest of the world:
Aren’t you guys like, a part of the US? Anyway I put sugar in your tea for you because that’s how the Americans like it.
We like it as tea flavored simple syrup actually. Idk about Canadians though, probably the same right? They’re basically Minnesotans with funny accents
I know a fair number of Minnesotans who say they're Canadian when traveling to Europe. The accent and culture is similar enough and generally people have more positive stereotypes about Canadians, lol.
The tea thing is weird though. I'm originally from Florida, where iced tea is sweet tea, I was dismayed the first time I ordered iced tea in Minnesota and it was unsweet, and the barista pointed me at sugar packets- no, the sugar won't dissolve properly in cold tea!
Every time I go south I wonder how people down there are still alive. Between the sweet tea, biscuits and gravy, pork cracklings, boudin, and kolaches, I feel like I have to take a nap whenever I eat a meal.
