Whoever said, “Do the job right the first time and you’ll never have to do it again” never shoveled snow

off a Canadian driveway, eh?

Every time I hear a mean joke about being Canadian, I go to the hospital and get my feelings checked for free.

Q: A Canadian doctor gives you an annual check up. What does he do first?A: He body checks you.

Q: How many Torontonians does it take to change a light bulb?A: Just one! They hold the bulb up to the socket and wait while the world revolves around them.

Q: What did the Canadian bra say to the toque?A: You go ahead and I’ll give these two a lift!

Q: A guy tried to sell me Canada?A: I said, “I wasn’t having Nunavut.”

Q: Canada has a real hard water problem.A: Most of the time it’s frozen.

Q: What kind of coat do Canadian dinosaurs wear?A: A Jurassic Parka!

Canada Day —what a great time of year! The sun is shining, the winter’s a distant memory, and we’re looking forward to a weekend at the cabin. Sounds pretty good, eh? The only thing better is to have some reading material for your leisurely lounging at the lake, so we’ve put together this year’s selection of “Fun Facts about Canada”!

Funny Canadians & Their Sense of “Humour”Have you noticed it’s spelled as “humour” and not as “humor” like the Americans do? This is another thing that sets Canadians apart from Americans. Canadian English is based more on British English, although it has many other influences, like those from our neighbour, the Americans. But let’s get back to the Canadian jokes topic...Eh?

Mt. Rushmore From The Canadian Side

Q: I have never seen it warm on Canadian TV, so how do the plants grow? (England)A: We import all plants fully grown and then just sit around and watch them die.

Q: Will I be able to see Polar Bears in the street? (USA)A: Depends on how much you’ve been drinking.

Q: I want to walk from Vancouver to Toronto. Can I follow the railroad tracks? (Sweden)A: Sure, it’s only 4,000 miles, take lots of water.

Q: Is it safe to run around in the bushes in Canada? (Sweden)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: What, did your last slave die?

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)A: Face south and then turn 180 degrees. Contact us when you get here and we’ll send the rest of the directions.

Q: Do you have perfume in Canada? (Germany)A: No, WE don’t stink.

Q: Do you celebrate Thanksgiving in Canada? (USA)A: Only at Thanksgiving.

Q: I have a question about a famous animal in Canada, but I forget its name. It’s kind of a 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.

Canadian Middle Finger
