Sorry, Not Sorry: Hilarious Canadian Tweets From Horse Cops To Excessively Apologizing
Maple Syrup For Difficult Days
With 75 percent of the global market share, Canada stands out as the foremost manufacturer and supplier of maple products. Canadian producers’ export of maple products in 2020 exceeded 61 million kg, which amounted to $515 million.
The process of making maple syrup and maple sugar products involves boiling the sap of maple trees to a concentrated form. This is why it is unsurprising that many Canadians opt for this sweet treat, but it is hard to imagine someone drinking a bottle of this syrup!

Policeman Does His Job Well
Just how friendly are the police in Canada? Here is a fine example: this cop made the photoshoot more believable by adding a prop to the dog’s head—a helmet. Now, the pooch looked like he was a real officer!
The Criminal Code of Canada makes it illegal to cause animals to suffer from neglect or injury. Various agencies, including ministries of agriculture, police services, and provincial and territorial Societies for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, enforce this law.

Don’t Say Bad Things About Wildlife
Canada is home to some of the most majestic creatures on the planet. There’s never a dull moment when it comes to encounters with these animals. True enough, the land boasts raccoons, squirrels, deer, and foxes.
Unfortunately, this tweet failed to say something nice about geese in Canada; strange, right? These waterfowl species are widespread, often found in water parks and golf courses, a far cry from the 1900s when their number declined due to overhunting and habitat loss.

Bear Is The Guard Of The House
We all know the relationship between mail carriers and dogs, but mailmen and bears? It must be Canada. In this funny tweet, the account accepted the weird reason his package was not delivered-–there was a bear at his door.
It is also evident in the handwriting how frightened the postman was when he tried to drop the package. Post offices usually know that no rain, sleet, or snow can stop them. But maybe a giant furry creature with claws and fangs could.

Beaver Ruins Canadian Christmas
Just how Canadian is this Christmas snapshot? Kudos to the owner of this home for thinking of a creative way to incorporate this cuddly creature into the theme.
According to Tree Journey, beavers fell trees for several purposes, such as facilitating their access to food and constructing shelter. Additionally, the dams and lodges they build serve as a means of safeguarding against harsh weather conditions and predators. On average, a beaver takes about eight minutes to chop down a fully grown tree.

An AMoose-Ing Visitor
Canada could be the only place where you can have a moose as a stalker. This guy posted on Twitter how this four-legged fellow followed him at home. His dog also looked concerned at this event as he seemed surprised that a giant furry creature casually hung out on their front porch.
Moose are found in almost all of Canada apart from two regions. So, it is possible that one would want to befriend you and watch Netflix with you at home.

Canadian Driver Being Canadian
If there’s one thing Canadians are famous for, especially on the Internet, it is how apologetic they are. In this printed classified ad, the harassed driver took the time and effort to look for the driver who beeped at him to say that he was right to do that and that he was sorry—classic Canadian road rage.
But why are Canadians so friendly? A report says they usually think of the best words to describe the situation before speaking—a nicety many seemed to forget.

Petition To Change Name To Vancougar
Here’s a sight we don’t see every day in other parts of the world. And yet, it seems ordinary for residents of Vancouver. In fact, can we call this “Vancougar”?
Cougars belong to the category of predatory creatures that primarily feed on meat. They possess remarkable skills in concealing themselves and are scarcely observed in their natural habitat. A cougar can jump as high as 18 feet vertically from a resting stance. In terms of horizontal distance, they can jump up to 40 feet.

Today, it is flocked by many more guests, and one of its most famous tourists is no less than Ryan Reynolds. His daughter is ‘obsessed with Mickey Mouse,’ yet he joked that he went to Disneyland without her only to tell her about it later.

Starlink As Cat Warmer
What will you do if you see this group of cats on your satellite dish? None. They deserve to feel the warmth during winter. As this user revealed, this was thanks to Starlink’s dish.
According to Aaron Taylor, the cause of the issue could be attributed to Snow Melt Mode, a feature introduced in 2020. This feature allows dishes to utilize their self-heating capabilities to prevent snow accumulation, which can obstruct the signal and also creates a warm outdoor resting spot for animals.

All Canadians Are Nice Except…
In Canada, everyone is nice—or so they say. Unfortunately, the country needed to remind guests that not everything on their land is friendly. Case in point, pesky geese.
The accused in the incident of “double bird strike,” which caused the downfall of flight 1549, is believed to be the Branta canadensis, commonly known as the Canadian goose. This species has been a source of public annoyance in numerous regions of Canada.

Road Violation Or Letter Of Compliment?
According to West Yorkshire Police, tickets are usually affixed to the windscreen by officers because it is the most prominent location. Usually, the paper is secured beneath a windscreen wiper to prevent it from being blown away, which explains why displaying it on the windscreen appears mandatory.
In this case, however, the car owner should not have expected to see a parking ticket. After all, he was in Canada, where people praise vehicles randomly and leave out notes for their compliments.

The Importance Of ‘U’ In Canada
Canadians have a distinct spelling style compared to their counterparts in the United States. For instance, words like “colour” and “favour” have this letter, while the Americans exclude it. Similarly, they use “re” at the end of words like “theatre” and “centre,” while Americans use “er.”
As such, this joke may be hilarious for this reason, but only for people familiar with this rule. Moreover, Canada transitioned to the metric system decades ago, whereas the United States remains one of the few countries that use the imperial system.

The winter climate in Canada is among the harshest in the world, and individuals residing in various parts of the country are prone to extreme cold weather that could impact their well-being. Nonetheless, participating in winter sports and engaging in physical activities is an excellent approach to maintaining good health.
It seems kids have been trained to survive extreme weather conditions as well, so much so that this sign is enough to tell us that they have adapted to this issue.

The Meanest Creatures In The Land Of Canada
Again, this tweet proves Canada is not big into its native geese. This group may be worse than your enemy because they could attack and bite passersby.
However, Canadian geese are not inherently more hostile or irritable compared to other avian species. The reason for their increasingly aggressive behavior is due to their proximity to human settlements and their burgeoning population. As a result, we tend to encroach on their habitat more frequently than before, provoking them to become aggressive.

All Things Canada In One Shot
What term do Canadians use to refer to the Zamboni machine? Although there are multiple brands of such devices, they are commonly known as “ice resurfacers.” However, if you were to show one to a Canadian and inquire about it, the likely answer would be “Zamboni.”
We just wonder if this guy driving to a coffee shop was an employee who wanted to smoothen the ice or if he was just a typical Canadian normally riding his Zamboni to town.

Maple Everything—Flags, Pens
Ever wondered why the Canadian flag features a maple leaf in the middle? The maple tree held significant importance for the indigenous communities residing in those regions due to its sugary sap and the various products produced from it.
Although this exceptional tree left a lasting impression on the initial colonizers, it wasn’t until the 1800s that the maple leaf became a representative emblem of the nation’s identity. Hence, this is why there are a lot of maple-themed products there.

The Sign That Is Very Informative
According to The Guardian, Canadian coffee chain Tim Hortons derives its name from a renowned hockey player who co-founded the company. Unfortunately, the player met an untimely death in a car accident in 1974, but the name stuck with the patrons.
Tim Hortons’ strong connection to hockey is evident in its advertising and sponsorship efforts, and this is likely a key factor in the company’s iconic status in Canada. This is why there are a lot of stores widespread in the nation.

Twitter Rage For Canadians
People can become too disrespectful on social media these days, but not Canadians. They may want to correct or explain themselves to other users, but they do so in a friendly tone. Take this conversation on Twitter for example.
Both users explained their sides on mac and cheese with utmost respect for each other. According to Epicurious, as early as 160 BCE, senator Marcus Porcius Cato included a recipe combining pasta and cheese in his written work, “De Agri Cultura.”

The frigid temperatures in Canada are well-known and widely acknowledged. The country shares the distinction of being the world’s coldest nation along with Russia. Across the expansive territory, the typical daily temperature is 21.92 degrees Fahrenheit.
This extreme cold can be life-threatening; exposure to it results in more death, approximately 108, than any other natural occurrence. Additionally, Canadian wildlife is especially vulnerable to the harshness of our icy environment. These people, however, seemed to have fully adapted to the climate.

To win the affection of Canadians, it’s advisable to reciprocate their courteousness by saying sorry, even if you’re unsure of the reason. Saying sorry is not necessarily an admission of guilt but rather a gesture of acknowledgment and compassion towards others. This tweet acknowledges this habit, and nobody is complaining about their over-politeness.

DIY Iced Coffee
The latitude range of Canada is the most extensive of all nations globally. Its southern boundary is situated at the same latitude as northern California, whereas its north border extends to the very top of the planet. Consequently, it’s uncommon for the identical season to coincide in the same location.
This person, however, forgot to bring their coffee inside the house and accidentally left it in the car, resulting in this “iced coffee.” Is this how they make it in Canada?

Being As Wholesome As Possible
Canada is famous for many things, but it is also popular for not-so-good reasons. Although a six-story rubber ducky may seem like a fun addition to playtime, not everyone was excited about the installation at Toronto’s HTO Park in 2017.
The Redpath Waterfront Festival planned to feature this giant duck on Canada Day, July 1. The Ontario government faced backlash from the public for providing a grant of $120,000 CAD to bring a rubber duck to the province.
