Top 10 Myths about Canada!!
We live in igloos...? We live in houses, and they are very well built houses.
Canadians do not have the same technology as Americans...? Canadians have access to the same technology as Americans and the rest of the civilized world.
There is snow everywhere all year long...? Anyone who has spent a summer in Vancouver, Toronto, or Montreal will strongly disagree with this.
We don't get the same movies Americans do...? We get the same movies, on the same day, and our censorship is less severe. Furthermore, the Paramount theater in Montreal is the most attended and most lucrative movie theater in North-America.
Canada does not have a film industry...? We have a thriving film industry, and many of the syndicated US TV shows, not to mention major studio motion pictures are filmed here. Canada is renowned to have some of the best production crews in the world.
Canadians all say "eh" and "aboot"...? Sure, some of us do, but Canada is a big country with many different people who speak many different languages with different dialects.
Everyone in Quebec speaks French...? Although a large percentage of the Province's
population is Francophone, there is also a large number of Anglophones and Allophones.
Canadians have fewer guns than Americans...? Canadians have just as many, if not more; we just have fewer murders.
Canada's national sport is Hockey...? Not completely true. While Hockey is very popular, and considered our national pastime, our national sport is Lacrosse. Oh, and we invented Baseball too.
In 1994, the Federal Government introduced Bill C-212 that officially made Hockey Canada’s National Winter Sport and Lacrosse Canada’s National Summer Sport. Thanks Rolly! So the answer is both!
Canadians policemen are all Mounties dressed in red uniforms...? Our cops are the same as American cops. The Mounties usually only dress up in red for for special occasions.
Hopefully this will Shed some light on the SECOND LARGEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD for you!!
HAPPY CANADA DAY!!

Will anybody tell somebody so everybody is informed and nobody is left out?
This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was a important job to do and Everybody was asked to do it. Everybody was sure Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought Anybody would do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done. Food for thought.......Selah
