To find out more about the Canadian lifestyle and its quirks, Bored Panda spoke with Casie Stewart, a Canadian award-winning content creator who has been documenting her life since 2005 via her blog ‘This is My Life.’ Her social entrepreneurship and dedication to social media won her 2016 Voice Pioneer at the Canadian Screen Awards by The Canadian Academy of Cinema & Television. Today, Casie is represented by the National Speakers Bureau of Canada.
Casie told Bored Panda that Canadian humor is pretty sarcastic and light-hearted. “We like to make jokes and it's true, we say 'sorry' a lot,” she said. “I grew up in Canada and I absolutely love living here. We have a great quality of life! My home is Toronto and my favorite city in Canada,” Casie told us.

When asked about her favourite Canadian cultural quirks, Casie said that one funny thing is “that ‘yeah, no’ means no, and ‘yeah, no for sure’ means yes,” she laughed. “We also spell things a bit different here than in the USA, ex honour, humour, and favourite all have a U,” Casie added.
The weather is also a big thing when it comes to Canadian life. “In Canada, we have 4 distinct seasons so we get to experience a really hot summer, beautiful Autumn colours (and fashion!), then a cold snowy winter, plus the spring where everything comes back to life,” she explained.
It took me, an American, WAY too long to realize they are referring to hockey. I thought Canada had some kind of awesome bloodbath gladiator deathmatch sport that I didn't know about.
Deer are dumber than a box of hammers and will jump directly in front of your car when they weren't even near the road to begin with.
Canadian women are on another level. Picture: Hugo Lorini
Sure they're not Geordie lasses? Oh, hang on, they're wearing too many clothes...
Driving unplowed curvy hilly backroads going home at midnight with snow deep enough on the road that it sweeps over the front of your car and over the windshield in an endless opaque wave, with the side window open so you can actually see anything, in near whiteout snowfall and well below freezing temperature, all while driving fast enough to keep your momentum to get over the hills, but slow enough not to drive off the road into a ditch, and knowing that if you mess up and get stuck, there probably won't be another vehicle along for hours and you're in for a real long walk. Yeah, real winter in the country is fun.
same thing at the beach in Australia if you eat hot potato chips and the seagulls notice.
That's actually pretty accurate, except that the Facebook part should read "We know you bought a toaster yesterday. Here are some 20 ads for toaster ovens if you wished to buy 5 more"
This is not Saskatchewan...I guess that's the joke. Saskatchewan is so flat, in some parts, your shadow looks like a giant.
Load More Replies...For clarity: This is a picture of gorgeous Moraine Lake in Alberta (https://www.banfflakelouise.com/moraine-lake). Attached is a pic of Regina, Saskatchewan. Beautiful in its own way, but please note the complete lack of mountains. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. Greg-Husza...22fff5.jpg
*Starts laughing my a**e off* If some one outside of Canada actually believes THAT’S what Saskatchewan looks like….. Come visit and confirm it!
There's no way that's Saskatchewan... Gotta be Alberta or BC
Suspiciously looks like Alberta. Grew up in Saskatchewan...they must have sprouted mountains since I left 43 years ago lol
Hey, what about that ski hill near Blackstrap? Okay, it used to be a landfill, admittedly.
Load More Replies...A moose could come along and merc my a$$ and I'd still say it was worth it.
I lived in Sk for 9 years. It is the flattest place you’ll ever see. There is no way that’s Saskatchewan.
Ummm... it's a joke. Saskatchewan is so flat you can watch your dog run away for 3 whole days... also joke.
Very pretty but inaccurate. Saskatchewan is flat as can be. I've seen bigger lumps in oatmeal. In fact, googling the highest points in Sask, the top 5 are Brockelbank HILL, Pasquai HILLS, Nimrod HILLS, Thickwood HILLS and Wapawekka HILLS. Lol
this is beautiful. North? I drove through southern Saskatchewan and it didn't look at all like this. 😁
Funny, since Saskatchewan lower half is almost totally flat. They have huge wheat fields in Saskatchewan. The upper half isn't flat, but it doesn't have these mountains. This picture looks like the Rockies in Alberta.
Not Saskatchewan, more Alberta or British Columbia. Saskatchewan doesn't have the Rockies in it. It's part of our Prairies. Flat as a pancake... Our wheat belt...
Saskatchewan finally hit puberty I see and their mountains came in.
Okay...so as an actual Canadian I feel like I need to put a disclaimer here: This picture is taken NOWHERE NEAR Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan is literally just flat prairie land. It's so flat, there is a country wide joke that in Saskatchewan, you can watch your dog runaway for days lol. DO NOT go to Saskatchewan thinking you will get to see this, you will be EXTREMELY disappointed. For mountains and crystal clear lakes, go to the East side of British Columbia (BC) or West side of Alberta. If you're from out of country, go to Banff or Kelowna, they have more "tourist-ie" things. GO IN THE SUMMER lol. If you're not used to driving or walking on a surface made of 5cm thick ice, covered by 12.7cm compacted snow, that too has iced over (but will randomly shift at times); learning to do that in the mountains in -25C is a bad ideal. Last piece of advice, if you visit: DO NOT PET OR TRY TO PET THE WILD ANIMALS. It gives native Albertan's and BCer's heart attacks watching tourist.
Sorry No! Saskatchewan Canada only has 1 mountain and it is a man made ski hill. This is either British Columbia or Alberta.
BI*CH NO! THEY DID NOT-- (fyi this is Alberta, Saskatchewan is flat as a pancake.
In Saskatchewan the land is so flat you can watch your dog run away for three whole days (old joke).
At 17y, I moved from that (BC Rocky Mountains) to the middle of Saskatchewan (where you can watch your dog run away for days). I got a good laugh from this.
Ummm... where is the canola? Too many hilly things in this (gorgeous ) pic to be SK. Looks like AB, or BC.
I turned this image upside down on my phone. I couldn't tell which is the reflection.
Lol, yes Saskatchewan, the province where you can watch your dog run away for three days.
Wow. That is magnificent. One was beautiful enough, but then add another one and you get double perfect scene!
Saskatchewan is notoriously flat. Like, “you can watch your dog run away for three days” kinda flat. Rocky Mountains are BC/AB. Nice try though there flatlanders.
How's this a funny Canadian meme?? Seriously, this is gorgeous and I'm confused.
Hahahahahahahaha. Saskatchewan is so flat that you can practically see across the whole province. Lol
That is Lake Louise in Alberta. :) But yes, Sask, is so flat you can see your kids running away
So a*s catch a one what? Stop mumbling. Besides this is Alberto BC.
Ah yes, those stunning Rocky mountains of the flattest place on earth. They must've moved Morraine Lake via the CP rail, a province over, when nobody was looking.
You will not see that anywhere in Saskatchewan. It's flat as a board.
Saskatchewan is so flat, you can watch your dog run away for 3 days. This is Alberta 😂
Yea most of Alberta is just a gross. They touch some of the nice parts of BC and are like we're so nice bahahahaha
Load More Replies...that is definitely not Sasketchewan....it is either Alberta or British Columbie
Boy, people really going to be surprised if they ever actually go to Saskatchewan.
And in the city you see an ad saying "yeah can someone do a quick fix? Someone stole my porch and im in the market for a new one"
Where in Saskatchewan is this? 😂. Flattest province. Oh I see, the watermark is “funny Canadian memes”. This is likely The Rockies in Alberta or BC. 😂
LMAO. Oh dear. Poor tourists who go to Sask and find it a bleak wasteland of snow and NO mountains.
Northern Saskatchewan because of all the trees, go a bit South and feel the open empty road
Saskatchewan and Manitoba are flat and there's nothing to see there
The transport trucks in Ontario are notorious for anything before 10 am. You learn not to follow close as an entire car made of snow could come off their roof in 1 go
Go to Costco for bread, leave Costco with a 5' tall fully articulated skeleton named Billy Bones.
Sooooo from this I've learned it's very cold, and expensive... and geese are a nuisance?
Yup, pretty much. Geese are insanely protective of their nests and territory… they will not hesitate to attack. Our summers are nice but this winter is expected to be a particularly brutal one. Expensive has been a recent thing for the most part… thanks COVID. Hey though, free health care and it is a beautiful country.

I grew up near the Mexican border on the U.S. side. When I think of the border, I immediately think of the one the U.S. shares with Mexico. How interesting.
Load More Replies...My ex is from Canada and I wish i could live there with him. Shame I made some poor choices and now I'm stuck in England with no future... ex is currently travelling in vietnam then NZ. A year working in Oz...i wish i had the courage. I'd have traveled anywhere with him. Be careful what you settle for. The advertisement of "life" isn't worth it or anywhere near fun. See the world, learn and experience, life is for living. Don't be like me because you value tradition. Do.what.you.want! :-D
No offense meant, but I think a psychiatrist would have a lot of fun analyzing that message. Lots of intermixed complex emotions and repression.

The australia one is correct, as an australian SUCK IT UP AND DEAL WITH THE HEAT
While some of these are hilarious, how anyone with even a partially functioning brain could think there are mountains in Saskatchewan, defies belief. I did lol - literally - at some of these. There are many more out there I’m sure. After being raised in the UK until my teens, living in Winterpeg for years and now living in ND via Chicago, my heart is Canadian. Love Canada and her people!
I'm a Nigeria ive heard so much of Canada is one of my favourite places to visit
Snow, yes that very uniquely Canadian experience. You certainly don't see that stuff in any other country in the world.
I would love to see more posts on how others deal with winter and add to list of how to enjoy such beautiful season. Fondue and mulled wine in many parts of Europe, etc.
