Most of the world associate Canada with maple syrup, niceness, and more maple syrup. But the truth is... the country stereotypes aren't that far from the truth, actually. Just with a few extra weird details. Like, super social moose or friendly police officers. Exotic, I know. To give you a better idea about the Canadian stereotypes, Bored Panda has compiled another list of funny photos that perfectly describe the Great White North. So put on your parka, continue scrolling and enjoy.

For more Canadian memes, check out these pictures you probably couldn't take anywhere else.

Here's a fun fact about life in Canada. Canadians like to say "sorry" so much, they passed the "Apology Act" to limit its use. In the past, lawyers in court were probably able establish guilt quite easily. All they needed to do was prove someone apologized at the time of the incident and things would start going their way.

So Canadian lawmakers made it clear that an apology of any kind “means an expression of sympathy or regret” and not “an admission of fault or liability in connection with the matter to which the words or actions relate.”

We have moderately terrible winters in our area (below freezing and snow on the ground for a couple of months), my UPS-driver husband and another UPSer had an ongoing tough-guy contest for about 5 years to see who would finally break down and wear pants instead of shorts. After one especially brutal winter my husband gave in and switched to pants, but only after all the hair had fallen off his legs. I've always told him if you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough.

The jackrabbits in my old Calgary neighbourhood were surprisingly street smart. Saw one trying to cross a busy road at rush hour one morning. He'd stop and look up every now and then as he hopped down the curb. Finally a break appeared and he sprinted across.

Sachs is a tiny hamlet (that photo covers nearly all of it). While I wish this photo was real, a quick visit up there in google maps seems to show it's a fake.

Santa's workshop. I go there every Christmas! Its a fun place, where you can eat, ( Pancakes, hot chocolate, coffee, fruit, meat and more ) take a picture with Santa, get presents, and other stuff! ( But you have to register to go there, so they can get a present made just for you! ;) )
