My father is English, and I vividly remember that one of the books his family had on its shelves was an essay collection called The Romance of Canada. It featured a skin-wearing fur-trapper on its cover, plodding through a wintry pine forest on snowshoes,

    I would say that still is the defacto world view of Canada.

    You Canadians are so lucky! The country I was born in is known for drugs, hookers and wind mills... Here we have all the natural beauty to be proud of, most people are open and relaxed: what more do you want? Stop being insecure and be proud of Canada.

    Well, we can't make them go away... I don't know if you guys have read the comments of the article mentioned in the first post, but I read a lot of stupidity when people mention Canada and all non-canadians can come up with is: snow, lumberjacks, rcmp, igloos and polar bears. Italy is not pizza, future-Atlantis (Venice) and maffia, as Germany isn't Nazi's, apfelstrudel, Berlin wall and the best cars in the whole wide world. It's stereotyping!

    lol I mess with anyone who stereotypes Canadians, make them think it's true. It's really fun you should try it some time. :P

    This has always bugged me about Canadians, we are always 'seeking' approval for everything. It drives me nuts.

    The photos look like a fantastic snapshot of Canada, even if they do pander to some stereotypes.
