15 Canadian Stereotypes That Are Actually True

7. Hunting And Guns Are The Norm

Canadians don€™t seem to take the gun laws in quite the same way that Americans do but there are certainly more hunting rifles per household in Canada than in the UK for example. The right to €œbear arms€ in the States is a little different to the mentality in Canada that sees most Canadians who own guns participate in responsible hunting of authorized game like deer, caribou, moose, and duck rather than shooting at each other. Canadians are fairly responsible with their household weapons as they know that the red-coated mounties will be all up in their business if they misbehave.
