That all Canadians love hockey.
TBF a lot of us do; it's our big sport. But, not everybody likes sports. It's kind of like saying all Americans like American football. (Canada's official national sport is actually lacrosse)
I've heard there's a stereotype we're all outdoorsy. I guess in my region everybody does camp, and knows basic camping stuff, but there's also a tendency to start the fire with copious accelerants and a blowtorch. At that point you might as well just bring a space heater and plug it in.
This. And that they eat maple syrup with everything
Do people actually think that?
We produce it, but it only goes in recipes that include it. Usually pancakes. I don't know, do Americans eat everything with a hamburger on top?
Edit: Another dumb one at that at least somebody thinks: we all live in igloos. No, sometimes there's no snow. Even in the arctic where it's traditional they don't typically anymore, because that's just a hut made of frozen water. It has no toilet or electricity.
Exactly, some people think you guys do or joke about it
