Welcome Miss Annika.

Hmm... what to tell you about Canadians. lol. I think you'll just need to read and find out for yourself what we're like.

[MissAnnika]

lol The thing is, that as far as country content goes, Canada is pretty varied. Nowhere else in Canada is like the prairies, nowhere else is like the maritimes, or BC, Yukon, etc. Even various areas inside the regions differ fairly widely.The States are like this, toR is nothing like TX, NH is nothing like MI, etc.

 

[MissAnnika]

hmm interesting, but its good to have all types of land right?

 

[MissAnnika]

what about words u use, hobbies, food, u kno, stuff like that?
like for example, i kno australians call americans "yanks" i find it funny and interesting

We use English in this house, although the wifey spews the odd word in Anishinaabemowin now & then. I have a few choice words in Gaeilge and a couple others, too. I call Americans 'Yanks", too. lol There isn't a lot of difference between Canadian words and American words, though. Mostly localised differences. Food's pretty much the same, too. We say "roof" as in "goof" rather than "roof" as in "ruff", "creek" as in "peek" rather than "creek" as in "crick".
Measurements are in metric.
Hobbies are stuff like gardening, woodworking, running, hiking, camping, boating, etc. Much the same as in the States, I'm sure.

In Saskatchewan we say 'Bunnyhug' instead of Hoodie!
