1) Meeting another Canadian is the most exciting thing that can happen to you on any given day
FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE WHO OWNS ROOTS SWEATPANTS
2) The only Canadian city anyone will know is Toronto
If you’re lucky, someone might know Montreal or Vancouver. You’re actually better off naming the closest major American city.
3) If you ever complain about being cold, no one will believe you.
“How can you be cold, you’re from Canada?”
3) The accent is real, and if you try and dispute it you will lose.
I’ve heard it. We say a-boot and we should be hella proud of it.
4) Somebody will always mention Bieber.
They will think every other respectable Canadian musician is American, but they’ll happily give us Bieber.
5) Those 8+ years of French classes you took? Useless.
Shockingly, the Spanish that Pitbull taught you won’t get you very far either.
6) You will become very grateful for your candy-coloured Monopoly money.
WHY DOES EVERY OTHER COUNTRY HAVE MONEY THAT LOOKS THE SAME.
7) Start following football and/or rugby immediately
The Canadian teams will be terrible. However, unless you enjoy one-sided conversations you may want to start spending some quality time on Wikipedia.
8) Everyone and their mother will assume you are American
Literally everyone.
10) Which only makes you more proud to be Canadian ☺
In all our hockey-playing, sweatpants-loving, overly-apologetic glory.
