Canadians’ well-earned reputation for politeness is believed to be why they so seldom mention, when in conversation with Americans, that Canada is larger than the U.S. by 58,358 square miles.
Few Canadians seem concerned that the national animal is the beaver.
Security at Canada’s southern border is a tumultuous issue, mostly involving Americans who wish to buy prescription drugs more cheaply than they can at home.
The informal name for the Canadian one-dollar coin, the loonie, is not a reference to any political figure.
The struggle players on the game show Jeopardy! often have with any clue related to Canada has never been directly linked to the fact that host Alex Trebek is Canadian.
Cheese and gravy on fries, a popular Canadian dish known as poutine, is visually unappealing only until you compare it to catsup on fries.

BobCarriesOn Humor Editor Bob Payne has seldom played the role of lumberjack in any theatrical performance.
Not as many of us dress as lumberjacks as should, but besides that, poutine is an incredible food.
I think it has to do with us having so much change nickels, dimes, quarters, loonies & toonies, that it makes a $7.95 serving of Poutine seem affordable to anyone with pocket change.
