I think Canadians are just tired of maple syrup and denim, aaye?

Aww, look at baby America trying so hard to outshine its big sibling. Relax, Canada, we still think you're cool who brings maple syrup and politeness to the family reunions!

Maple syrup pancakes. Littlest hobo. Clean air clean water . And the freedoms to do as one chooses as long as it doesn't hurt anyone...????❤❤ thats Canadian.... an as its time everyone catches up an leaves others alone.. canada the best place in the world.. where people are free to b themselves as long as it doesn't hurt others....???????????❤❤

Ofcourse India will cancell all purchases from Canada, as we import just Maple Syrup from Canada and nothing else ?, while we advice our students to not to go to this unfriendly Canadian regime which is threatening their life.

Oh, Brampton’s over 80% non-white, and now it’s a 'mass immigration crisis,' is it? Interesting. I wonder how the Indigenous people felt when waves the Europeans came over and started making themselves at home. You know, back when mass immigration also happened, except the native population didn’t exactly get a warm welcome either—more like the opposite.\n\nI mean, isn’t it ironic? A country built on immigration now complaining about… immigration. It’s almost like history has a sense of humor. But hey, at least now we have the internet so everyone can share their thoughts on 'who belongs' in a land that wasn’t really theirs to begin with. Funny how that works, right?\n\nOh yes, Canadian culture and values—those timeless, ancient traditions that go all the way back to… the last couple of centuries? I mean, forgive me, but when exactly did Canada, a country that came into existence through colonization, suddenly develop this pure, distinct culture that’s now under 'threat'?\n\nLet’s talk about Canadian values—like diversity, inclusion, and… oh wait, that’s only good until people from different backgrounds actually show up. Then it’s suddenly a 'crisis.' Classic.\n\nAnd what exactly are we preserving here? Maple syrup and hockey? Because, newsflash, multiculturalism is Canadian culture now. It’s the same 'values' that were conveniently forgotten when Indigenous communities were being erased. But sure, let’s act like a few more immigrants are going to dismantle the grand, rich, centuries-old tapestry of... Tim Hortons and politeness.\n\nHonestly, if the presence of more people of color is that threatening to 'Canadian values,' maybe those values were never that strong to begin with.

We’ll be trading in our maple syrup for curry soon in Canada. It’s a disgrace the Amount of immigrants we’re letting in here with the worst housing shortage in history

Its god given right for indians to settle in north or south america. Christopher Columbus was searching for india when he accedently found your continent and named locals as red indians and indiapolo indiana is indian and also studies shown red indians used to worship indian hindu gods.❤❤❤canada , usa are our too . And having many indian people will be good to boast your ties with india which will be one of next super powers . Canada usa is not only for white people you guys also came there as immigrants and did mass murders of natives atleast indians are adapting to your culture like buying guns ,eating junk food, drinking maple syrup, drinking alcohol and becoming lgbt lover?

I miss when Canada was known as the land of hockey, maple syrup and beavers

No you cant do it.\nCanada is famous for abusing foreign workers it's like maple syrup or timmies.\nKeep the proud tradition..

What you do not like our maple syrup EH lol. Ya ya blame Canada blah blah, blame BIDEN. Only way this would change is if we here in Canada had auto turrets set up through out the border plus our government does not care just like yours.

Canada isn’t sending their best. They are sending boreal forests, they are sending cold weather, and I assume some are bringing maple syrup.

I’m in Ontario and it is awesome here! The maple syrup is awesome and it is +30 here right now, although it can get to -40 and I remember it got down to something like -50 last winter

It all comes down to understanding whenever you would like to buy the dark maple syrup or the golden one, i still have not decided.

Everything the French lady said is spot on. My parents immigrated from Europe 60 years ago. They only speak English, they have never asked or taken handouts from the Govt. They assimilated themselves to Canadian culture. We played hockey as kids, ate pancakes and maple syrup. Immigrants today impose their religion and culture on us and we have to take it. What is Canada anymore?

It's cold, dark, boring, and everyone must learn to field dress a moose! Your wealth is measured by how many beaver balls you have in your freezer! The best sport in Canada is hockey, and the 2nd is the Iditarod (don't ask) yet these fools call thier national sport lacrosse, LACROSSE, has anyone ever amitted to watching a game of lacrosse? It's a beautiful country, but you'll need big cahone's to see it because there's all kinds of bear, huge packs of hungry wolves, a thing called a wolverine , which is a cross between a wolf and a porcipine???, and moose infected by mad cow disease, so F--k that! The beer is undrinkable, they eat curds, whatever that is, and every fall everyone eats fat and maple syrup to bulk up for winter! Sex isn'i for pleasure, it's to stay warm,............... Oh ya, their national anthem is beautiful and I like them, well most of them!

it is TOO COLD in CANADA and we can buy MAPLE SYRUP once in a while anywhere else in the world , weed not so much (which is a good thing really) so no sane asian person will want to live in such freezing -40°C

They just want to drive Moose, grow Maple syrup an' eat macaroni & cheese....so what ???

Just poor maple syrup on it ?

Maple syrup Hitler

But the US doesn't have lovely maple syrup.

ill trade yourselft anytime to the US for 40 gallons of maple syrup and 1 goose .... but you need to live in Quebec ;)

Woah woah woah. Isn't Canada the land of maple syrup and beaver tails?

The customs officer forgot to warn them of the only capital crime in Canada, counterfeiting maple syrup.

Canada went from maple syrup to chicken tikka masala??

Actually I’m a Canadian and here in British Columbia we are actually not snowy people I never have seen maple syrup before and also we are more like skilled fighters kinda like mandalorians off Star Wars and we are also very technologically advanced like wakanda compared to other countries and we are kind honourable respectful and also are more like the warrior elites of humanity also other countries see the us as a place where Americans are rude racist sexist criminals corrupt and don’t care about anyone else but themselves also compared to our military the us military are defective also don’t forget the technology and money ways is good also we don’t start wars but are always willing to help you win the wars you struggle to win America also at the same time being the actual soldiers winning it for you in your wars since yours can’t fight and are too rude and all that also we don’t yell at our soldiers in training we are nice and don’t say aye also don’t got those weird looking horse riding people and I have never seen a moose in the wild so maybe you should try looking in the library for once and not a corrupt one

Canadian police: if you cross the border you’ll be arrested. \nAlso Canadian police: donuts and coffee with maple syrup are to the left

Did he mention the maple syrup- or no?- if he didn't , then that's a problem-

Please stop making Canada sound like 'the frozen north'. Any educated person knows that this is a 'Seasonal' country. Our summers reach over 100 degrees Fahrenheit at times and we can actually sunburn while sun tanning on these days. We water-ski, swim, boat and sail, golf, gold-pan, hike, bicycle, Motorcycle, camp, picnic, fish, sky-dive, drive, shop, tap for Maple syrup and thoroughly enjoy our Springs and Summers like any other normal person and country. Our Autumn's are glorious as leaves turn crimson and gold, with picking all kinds of fresh fruit, canning jars of produce, carving pumpkins for Hallowe'en, making and tasting wines. Our Winters, loved, with some of the best ski resorts in the world; skating rinks--Our skaters won Gold in the Olympics and some of the best Hockey teams, who have also won Olympic Gold, come from Canada. We still toboggan, go on sleigh rides, ice swim, build snowmen and make the occasional Snow Angel, just for fun. We have learned to deal with winter snows--they're called Snowplows, which are abundant and whose operators are extremely efficient! AND, we have miles and miles and miles of uninhabited land--a rare treasure now-a-days! We are Canadian and we love it!!????

Canada is great. We got nice nature, nice weather, and the chance to wear cool winter clothing. We got rye whiskey, maple syrup, and the best cannabis. It's also cheap to buy stuff in Canada secondhand! The people are nice here too! Yes, we have taxes but everywhere is increasing taxes too. We have some really great, creative and talented people living here.

Come, let's swap. If you want to know what corruption is, come to Jamaica. They will tax the maple syrup out of your belly.

As someone who lives in Quebec, I'm actually surprised we ended up being first in the list! But I'm so proud we maple syrup lovers are so high <3

I love Quebec also but like any province it has its flaws, we are governed by 2 gouvernements who hate each other so both fight about everything,we pay taxes to both these governments, the only way you can attend or send your children to English school is if you were born here(canada) and someone in your family went to english school, so if you are french or an immigrant you have no choice in the matter you are going to french school, we were voted the most corrupt province a few years back, you can do anything you want though….as long as you paid for your permit to do it, wanna ride the trails on your atv 300$, wanna ride a motorcycle anywhere between 600$(for a cruiser) to 1700$(sportbike), growing cannabis is illegal unless you buy a 600$ permit then its ok. But even with all its flaws its still an amazing place AND we have maple syrup ? oh but if you make some don’t forget permission from the Federation to sell it cause they can impose massive fines all the way up to seizing you farm. But really its not all that bad…. Crap gotta go it’s curfew time don’t wanna get a 1600$ fine for being out past 8. \n\np.s our Poutine isn’t the one starting a war

canada for me coz of stereotypes they make maple syrups. :)

Wow, Did Those Québécois threatened to stop your supply of Poutine and Maple Syrup !!!!!!! Is that Why you ranked them above Ontario ?????

I would be happily eating my maple syrup in any of them

Some Of The Answers Given (And Accepted) Were Wrong, The Test Giver Gave It To Them Anyway Because He Was Just Being Nice And He Was Under Justin Trudeau's Strict Orders To Allow ANY Immigrant Into The Country ?\n\nHere Are The Correct Answers:\n\n1. The Capital Of Canada Is Ottawa Which Is In Ontario, It's Not Found In Quebec Because Quebec Is Racist Due To Bill 21!\n\n2. War And Political Extremism!\n\n3. Maple Syrup!\n\n4. Maple Leaf! (Must Match The Color Of The Political Party In First Place)\n\n5. Snow!\n\n6. Hockey!\n\n7. Niagara Falls!\n\n8. Apologize And Be Polite!\n\n9. Russia! (Putin/Poutine)???\n\n10. Greenland!

Can confirm, especially about the maple syrup...\n\nNo, we haven't gotten the whole black market maple syrup thing sorted out up here, but we're working on it.

As America has released its strategic oil supplies we just released some maple syrup from the reserve stocks.\n\nI kid you not

Maple syrup ?

Asking a Canadian if they’re American is the _exact_ same thing as asking an Irish person if they’re English.\nSolidarity my maple syrup loving brethren.

Now I want maple syrup.

Welcome to Canada.... oh and if you don’t likey likey and want to leave? put the maple syrup down and don’t let the Canadian door kick ya in the ass on the way out...eh!

You surprised with taxes??? but why? Canada depend on your taxes, I realized this during tariff war with Trump, when you US slapped Canada with increase tariff for aluminum, steel. Oil, farm produce, Canada retaliate with increased tariff for maple syrup and candies

Canada is huge. Have any of you truly explored all of it? Leave or stay, come or go, your always welcome and welcomed back anytime. Sorry you didn't have the best experience. Well that's a'bout it. Maple syrup. Bacon. Poutine. The telephone. Penicillin. Velcro. Nuclear power.

well, at least they have good internet and maple syrup there.

USA: man we have like no real syrup **makes fake syrup** \n\nCanada: for some reason quebec has the perfect climate for maple trees\n\nOverall, living in canada. Syrup is a lot cheaper. In the USA its like 40$ a bottle, in canada its like 5$

Canada is the best. Free health care and maple syrup for all. Go Maple Leafs and Toronto is a beautiful city with Ottawa as my favorite.

Canada.\n\nThings about Canada: maple syrup, sorry.

Lol canada wins in maple syrup\nMe in MA....excuse you

The prime minister opens his ass to the world like a jail punk, soon the maple syrup will have funny masala taste and the streets will wreak of curry, supermarkets will then only accept rupees due to heavy Indian migration, your next landmark will be the actual ganji river from India, all those Canadian hippies will be using Bollywood film quotes.
