slurred-speech asked: I go to school in North Carolina for half the year and live in Canada the other half. My teammates on my soccer team have CRAZY thoughts about Canadians.

My roommate's mom asked me if we had an army... Umm, so everything we did in World War I and II, Iraq, Afghanistan isn't acknowledged? Coooool.
My teammate asked us if we had our own money.
My teammate believed we ate roasted penguins on a stick.

I even asked one teammate if they learned anything about Canada in school, considering we learn quite a bit of things about the USA. She replied, "we learn that you guys don't do anything".

Haha, thanks so much for the laugh! I’ve had someone ask a similar question about our armed forces, when I told a non-Canadian that my brother was in the Navy. 

“YOU GUYS HAVE A NAVY?!” Uh.. yeah. 

Thanks for the message, I’ll definitely add the misconceptions to my list. :) 

sparklycockles asked: I definitely had one guy say "But your money is like... worth less so your stuff is all cheaper right?"

Um. ......what.

Why yes, Mr. NonCanadian - of course everything is so much cheaper since our money is worth less, because that is very logical thinking! No, we don’t have to make up at all for our worthless money by giving over double the amount! 

Haha, thanks for this contribution - I’ll definitely add it to my ever-growing list. 

v2kbug asked: I work at the tourism industry... and once was asked by American tourists what the Canadian Equivalent of a Walmart or Target was. I thought they were joking.

"Excuse me?"

"You know... Walmart? Target?"

"Oh, ours are called Walmart... and Zellers. Except Zellers was bought out by Target, and they'll be changing their store names to Target in a couple years... What exactly are you even looking for?"

"Diapers..."

"Just look for any pharmacy, they should have it. I'd suggest Shoppers Drug Mart."

Haha! I’m surprised they also didn’t ask what the Canadian equivalent of a McDonalds is! 

Thanks for the contribution, I’ll add it to my list! 

So cottoncandyskies recently submitted a wonderful Canadian misconception (a man had inquired if Canada had beer yet, while drinking a Molson) recently, which reminded me of a joke I had heard last week. Thought I would share! 

After the North American Beer Festival, all the brewery presidents decided to go out for a beer. The guy from Corona sits down and says, “Hey Senor, I would like the world’s best beer, a Corona.” The bartender dusts off a bottle from the shelf and gives it to him.

The guy from Budweiser says, “I’d like the best beer in the world, give me ‘The King Of Beers’, a Budweiser.” The bartender gives him one.

The guy from Coors says, “I’d like the only beer made with Rocky Mountain spring water, give me a Coors.” He gets it.

The guy from Molson sits down and says,

“Give me a Coke.” The bartender is a little taken aback, but gives him what he ordered.

The other brewery presidents look over at him and ask, “Why aren’t you drinking a Molson’s?”

The Molson president replies, “Well, I figured if you guys aren’t drinking beer, neither would I.”

Fez: I just wish there was some place in the world where prejudice didn’t exist.

 Kelso: Well, that’s Canada. Yup. Good old Canada. They don’t make generalizations about people because they’re too busy playing hockey, or getting drunk, or putting maple syrup on their ham.

seaghostsoaring asked: An American once asked me with complete seriousness if Canadians only had two-day work weeks. If only, right? I think he was under that misconception because he also believed it was a tundra from east to west.

Haha! Oh God, I wish we only has a two-day work week! 

I always get people who are astonished that Canada has seasons - and is not just snow all year long. 

Thank you for the contribution - I will definitely add it to the list! 

annieway asked: Thanks for the follow back! I love this blog <3

Thanks! I love your blog too. :) 

amodicumofgrace asked: Ooo, Canadian misconceptions, I love those. I think the best I ever got asked was if we had beer up in Canada yet. The best part though was the fact the guy was drinking a Molson when he asked me XD

Haha! I love this misconception, because really… what would Canada be without beer? 

At least he has good taste!  

Thanks for the contribute, I will add it to the list!
