15 Canadian Stereotypes That Are Actually True

12. They Are Proud That They Are Not The USA

This is a big one for most Canadians, who will be nice about being proud that they do things a little different than their downstairs neighbours though. One way to describe Canada€™s relationship to the United States is that they are proud not of what they do, but of what they don€™t do - but that America does. Americans certainly make it their mission to laugh a little at the Monopoly money Canada uses as its currency, proclaiming that Canada is merely the USA€™s hat, but Canadians sit back, drink some Coors Light, and get free healthcare to fix all the bones they break playing hockey, which those cocky Americans can€™t do down in the land of the free and home of the brave.
