In some parts of canada they speak french.
Canadians really like hockey.
They make bacon different there.
They like gravy on here french fries.
There country is located directly over the usa.

gameface138 : "Canadian Bacon" is ham. And I don't know anyone Canadian who eats it. They all eat regular bacon. And the fries you're (probably) talking about is a dish called Poutine. It is cheese curds and gravy. The cheese curds part is essential otherwise it's just fries and gravy. ;D

We have two official languages, English and French.

Your border patrol likes us.

Taking French as a class in school is mandatory up to grade eight or nine.

Every packaging label has two languages on it: English and French. This is true for food, medicine, instruction manuals, toilet paper... You name it.

People who live on the East Coast in Newfoundland & Labrador are called "Newfies".

Our paper money comes in a bunch of different colours instead of just green. For example, the five dollar bill is blue.

We don't have one or two dollar bills. The smallest unit of paper money is a $5.

All of our money has Queen Elisabeth on it. Since she's still our Queen, and all that.

Our one-dollar coin has a Loon on it (that's a type of bird) and is called a Loonie.

Our two-dollar coin has two different colors of metal in it, and has a polar bear on it. It's called a Toonie.

No, I've never seen a moose. Or ridden one to school.

Because Canadian cities are so far apart from each other (For example, two major cities of Vancouver and Toronto are extremely far apart) consequently they are actually quite different from each other.

Three quarters of the Canadian population live within 90 miles of the US border.

Some people in the French part of Canada (which is a province called Quebec) actually want to break off from Canada and become their own country, because they feel like they are too different, to put it simply.

In Canada you can watch US channels (at least where I live) and all of the US news, elections, etc.
