    Canada, mostly learned by listening to the CBC (our government media outlet) Laugh Out Loud podcast:

    1. Vancouver is the weed capital

    2. Newfoundland’s “Newfie” accent/dialect

    3. Hockey fights (when players go insane and beat the crap out of each other)

    4. Quebec hates everyone

    5. Our airline is terrible

    6. We use a confusing combination of Metric and imperial units

      I originally read “Our airline is terrible” as “Our anime is terrible” and was going to disagree; our public broadcasters occasionally played some nice Canadian cartoons :D

      There’s got to be a joke about poutine somewhere…

      Also, yes, Scare Canada shouldn’t really be an inside joke - it’s more of an inside embarrassment. No? :slightly smiling face:
