"2 things:
1. all canadians eat leaves
2. all canadians live in igloos"

Wat.
Okay, non-Canadian people, help me out here. I understand the igloo thing, but honestly? Leaves? WHAT.

I...have never heard that one. Unless it's a mis-written reference to pot. I have heard the stereotype that you guys smoke more pot. But eat leaves? ...noo?

[parzi.livejournal.com]

Actually maybe it was more, the good pot comes from Canada. I'm not sure which, as I of course am not a smoker.

Some kind of twisted reference to the maple leaf, maybe? o_o

[yuuago]

Ohhhhh... You know, you might be on to something, with the pot thing.
And the stereotype is not entirely untrue. There's lots of potheads in this country, especially in BC. And we're rather... open about it. I live next to a head shop, which advertises itself as such (in the busiest area of the city, no less). And I'm pretty sure it's decriminalized throughout the entire country.

... Then again, it might be referring to actual leaves. Who knows. o_o

Yeah, it was definitely BC that I heard in connection to the pot...I think it was on the show Weeds, they were talking about all these good blends from British Columbia, haha.

Yeah here there's a lot of smoking but just as much backlash against it. Yet again, we are a conflicted and hypocritical people. Myself, I could care less, because as drugs go it doesn't seem to ruin any lives. I've only never tried myself because A) no access, B) I have a serious and prim image to uphold.

I thought all Canadians chewed seal blubber.

And wore flannel and beaverfur.

[yuuago]

YES to the flannel and beaver, not so much to the seal blubber. xD

[jesusphreaq.livejournal.com]

As a second Canadian opinion: it is all about the flannel.

Maybe it's some reference to like... dense forestation?

Maybe they meant 'wipe their asses with leaves' 'cause we don't have toilet paper yet?

Sorry, I know I'm not non-Canadian...

I'm non-Canadian and I'm totally lost.

I thought you guys all liked maple syrup, were buried in snow for 10 months of the year, and had pet Mounties.
