I know that there are many people here who are from countries all over the world. I can see what we think Canada is but I was wondering what you people see Canada as. I am trying to compile Canada's world image. So, what do you think of Canada from what you have learned from us?

Please only ask this question if you are not American or Canadian.

[Ravenblade]

um...well i always got the impression it had quite a large international community (by which i mean a mix of various types of foreign peoples). Lots of mountains and snowy countryside. Very large but at the same time, kinda sparsely populated? I've never been so i have very litte evidence to back up any of my assumptions with apart from what ive seen on TV. Very clean fresh air aswell.

It'd be nice to go to Canada some day.

[Sea of Time]

Thank you Raven, that is exactly the answer format I was looking for. The answers can differ, but could you all use the same format as raven did there?

[Venus_Man1]

Well, eh.... I find it very cool that the country speaks both French and English. I would love to go there. Seems very fresh. This might not be what you were looking for, but I'll post it anyway.

EDIT: Oh, forgot: Those police-men/women you have near the USA, are they all over the country or just near the.... Bah, forgot what you call it.

[Gardna]

I like canadian mountains, snowy woods and fresh air. It is great country and one day i'll surely go there.

[Luna]

Raven said everything that I think about Canada <<; Very large but sparesely populated...large international community, etc. Everything.

And I dunno, whenever I think of Canada the image of lots of trees in cold places comes to ming >.o; ..and also ice for some reason o.o. And if I think too hard about it, I remember those guys from the Yukon or something... with the red coats and funny hats :D....and that reminds me of cartoons when I was little. <<;

[Kikuichimonji]

you mean mounties right? XD they always made me laugh, no offence

I've been to canadeer, nice place, really cold and really hot. Also, ALOT of fast food chains o O

but it's nice there, you have good malls for sure

[Elliott]

Apparantly people always say "ay?" whenever they talk, but I got that from the simpsons and some flash cartoon.

[Echo_djinn]

*Cough*...Yeah being a canadian guess I know nothing about Canada.;) Anyways Canada is a great place to live. Kik is right that it does get cold here and hot. There is snow outside my window so yeah it's all good. I don't know about the fast food chains but there are a lot of stores here. Thats because Canada has a multitude of different cultures. So many different food and cultures to learn from makes it an interesting place to live. Though there are problems like racism but that exists everywhere.

I don't entirely get what you mean. I thought you were the one asking the question..?

Anyway, at this point I'd rather live in Canada than USA because we've got two idiots running this place, IMO. *cough*Ahnold & Bush!*/cough*

So yeah, that pretty much sums it up...

[Mars Djinni]

I. Am. Canadian. It's a great place to be, although I could really use more snow on the westcoast... ;) So go to Canada if you like snow!

[Nick Presta]

Ptff, while Canada has snow, it is on the same climatic plane as lots of places in the United States.
And Canada roxxorz and it's "eh" not "ay"

Especially TORONTO!!!!! I am sorry but Toronto is the place to be. All you other cities just can't compete against it. Maybe Vancouver? Anyways Yeah I have to give props to Vancouver and it's mountain view. Fresh air and tons of places to hike up.

[Nick Presta]

I love Toronto. It's a busy city (Not as busy as NY or LA though) nice weather (most of the time), very multicultural and just rocks.

Vancouver and Edmonton is also very cool Canadian cities. Sorry about the East Coast; I have never been.

Yes, stereo-types say that we say "eh" alot, but only some do, I say it when I joke around online.

I hate how people always think the same thing about Canada. It's snowy, big with no people, is full of RCMP Mounted units, and and people always say eh, play hockey, etcetera.

Anyways, Canada doesn't really have a small population, it's not cold everywhere, nor warm everywhere, it isn't covered with mounted police, we don't always say eh, and.... only 99% of us like hockey. ( :idea: )

Nick, about the east coast, man it's awesome there. They have heavy Canadian accents, they have beaches upon beaches with beautiful water, nice people, and good weather.

PS: British Columbia "The best place on earth" </2010 olympics commercial>

I get the olympics in the city during 2010. T_T

I would love to live north USA/South canada if I could, mainly due to the weather, is it usually cold? How hot does it get in summer?

[Mallick]

Well, in general throughout the whole land, it doesn't get too hot, and it's not that cold.

[Elliott]

Well, I would love to live somewhere where it never gets over 25 degress (celsius), and has a USA feel to it (meaning not Europe or Russia etc.).

And are you all hockey fanatics?

[l3lueMage]

I see it as a cool place, and i wanna goto Ottawa and visit the underground mall.
Oh and besides all that i would rather live there than in the US.

And why does everyone refer canada with ketchup?

My dad has been to canada and I saw some of the pictures there. It looks like a really fun place to go to.

[Mewt]

I would love to go to Canada. I think my parents are taking me on a 'Coast to Coast' type of trip over there in a few years time. Can't wait! ^__^

Anyway, the topic at hand. There are very strong cultural aspects to Canada which are fantastic, and from the pictures etc that I've seen, a lot of the landscape is beautiful. I'd love to have the same amount of snow over here that you guys get at certain times of the year - yay for snow! I also love mooses - you have lots of mooses over there, right? They are awesome animals. I've never thought that Canada was a 'sparcely populated' country - it's huge and has a lot of people.

[Ivan is my name]

Innit a bit like scotland? I just got this image in my head with lots of mountains and bit of snow. I dunnow why,but are they kinda the same in temperature?

[Illidan]

Who could ever forget the country with the red autumn leaf as their symbol? :)

[My Best Wishes]

canada, you gots lots of snow (good for snowboarding) very clean, you lead in health stuff and you got mountes? and you always say ay (from borther bear)

[Illidan]

uz gots lots ov snots on ur bots. (j/k)

I really like the Canadian flag. I wonder what it really represents? The weather I would presume.

Fahrenheit? Maybe 0 to -10 in the prairies.
Celsius? -20 to even -40.

It's cold but you learn to grin and bear it.

[Elliott]

I would much prefer cold over the swealtering heat we get over here (45 degess celsius once). And I'm in one of the most southern parts.

[Sea of Time]

I would much prefer warmth over the freezing cold we get over here. How about we switch lives?
