I am from BC. Sure not every Canadian is like that but this person totally exists.
You may be tempted to think that the syrup thing is because of the bud, but actually she took up bud to stop getting so many questions about it.
I mean, if she pours it on everything…
During my study abroad in japan we visited an elementary school as a cultural exchange. The class that day had to pick a country and list three things about it. A bunch of them picked america and the three most common things were McDonalds / hamburgers, pancakes and Disney.
I would’ve thought corruption, racism and being fat.
Corruption goes with Disney, fat goes with McDonalds, and racism… goes with everything.
Pancakes are fine tho
Canada isn’t America? So what continent is it on? Africa?
Most English-speaking countries teach the seven-continent model. There is no place named “America,” so when native English speakers omit “The United States of” for brevity, other native English speakers understand that they’re referring to the USA.
It seems to cause some confusion with cultures that are taught the six-continent model (in which there is a continent called “America”). I would guess that it’s because a lot of people are unaware of these cultural differences.
Edit to actually answer your question 😅: In English, Canada is in a continent called “North America”
Its all just America. America is named after Amerigo Vespucci (1454–1512), an Italian explorer and cartographer. His name wasn’t “North America” … so you all are wrong. It is what it is.
Oh that was centuries ago. In the US, we’ve even divided states in a similar manner over the years. The Province of Carolina became North Carolina and South Carolina. Dakota Territory -> North and South Dakota. Virginia and… West Virginia (not sure why no “East Virginia”).
I suppose you can say it’s “wrong” on the Internet, but if you tried the six-continent model on a school test in an English-speaking country, it would likely be marked as incorrect.
There are also five- and I think even four-continent models in some cultures. The thought of any of them being “wrong” is really interesting, to me. Personally, I’ve never really thought about any of them as “right” or “wrong”, just cultural differences.
The point is moot either way. Canada and the USA are on the exact same continent. Say American or say North American … the US and Canada are the same.
Sure. I was mostly just trying to answer your question and clear up some of the confusion. In all continent models, Canada and the USA are indeed on the same continent 🙂
There is no continent called America.
However, there is a country that hundreds of millions of people identify as “America”.
Be smarter.
HAH HAH HAH heh. What continent is Mexico on? What continent is the USA on? Hint: United States of … Are you smarter than a 3rd grader? Fucking lame ass trolls.
Imagine spending your time being intentionally obtuse about the colloquial understanding of “America” and then calling other people “lame ass trolls.” C’mon man. Be better.
You don’t like to be publicly respected for your informed opinions?
Why not?
Everybody knows what you are saying. What percentage would you estimate are impressed?
Might be meant to explain that folks say “American” to mean people from the United States more often than the American continents. Especially since it’s for teaching people a different language.
Yea, but we troll MAGA by telling them that Mexicans and Canadians are Americans … it breaks them.
What’s that look on her face… aggressively horny? Is this normally how Canadian ladies get while smoking BC buds??
Nah, that’s the maple. We get crazy with the sticky tree blood in us.
That’s just like, Victoria. It’s a pretty dope city.
Pretty accurate.
She’s cute.
Smash
If you’re gonna sum up an entire culture in a handful of words, well, they could have done worse.
They coulda put “aboot” in there
Seems accurate
Ms. Wood is incredibly based
There’s no way that’s real. That is some next level fucked up.
No offense toward my northern neighbors was intended. I love the Canadians. Maple Syrup is my sacrament.
Is one of their leading exports actually marijuana? That’s pretty interesting if true.
I think Canada has next to zero in marijuana exports, because it’s illegal to import it in most places. It does contribute billions to Canada’s GDP, but that’s production and consumption that never leaves the country.
It doesn’t leave my house LOL.
No, not even among just the illegal narcotics.
Yeah that does make more sense. I guess that makes the comic quite a bit more offensive though lol
Goddammit, another American pretending to be Canadian and fucking things up for us. She’s clearly avoided any words with Z in it for fear that she’ll give herself away when she fails to pronounce it “zed”.
Maple syrup is the greatest thing on earth, and we treat it accordingly, with moderation, not like ketchup which is the third handle on American faucets.
Fuck, that last bit cracked me up. Consider it stolen.

So stupid…
The ketchup faucet is the first one. 🤦♂️
Didn’t discover washing my hands with water until I was already out of school.
By this time the only thing water was to me is blanding.
I still remember the day they changed the mustard to that yellow ink to save on costs.
Does that make ranch the second one?
In the Midwest, yes
i don’t see any Canadians disagreeing
I’m from Canada.
It’s not America.
As a Canadian this is the realist thing ever. Half our identity is being not-American.
25 years ago this was a bit silly, but these days it’s like saying: “Look, I’m not on the Epstein List!”
But Canada is in America
Ya, and Europe is not a continent. What a super intelligent position to take.
There is no “America” by your definition. There are 800 million people in “the Americas”. Half of them refer to their county as simply “America”. Like 500 times a day. At least 100 million of the rest also use this label for the USA as does a big chunk of the world. When Churchill said, “You can always count of the Americans to do the right thing but too late”, was he talking about Chile or Canada?
I would say the “United States” but then some moron will point out that this could mean the United States of Mexico as if just saying “United States” or “America” is confusing anybody. Does the US National Guard protect Mexico? Cuba or Belize? The US Marines?
Do you think “America, fuck ya” is something people from Kentucky say to celebrate Honduras? Do you think “America the beautiful” is a song about Peru? Do you think the “American National Anthem” is pro Mexico?
Do you think “American football” is what they play in Brazil? Because they sure don’t play it in Canada.
And the 7,000,000,000,000 YouTube videos about “the American President”, who elected him?
It is hard for me to believe that somebody thought this would seem like a smart thing to say.
Calm down lmao
USians are so poor, they can’t even get a name of its own for their country.
I run into people all the time who use the term “America” without at all meaning that country wedged between Mexico and Canada. Los Estados Unidos is often how you’ll hear the nation state referred to in Latin America, whereas “America” usually refers to the entire hemisphere.
It always blew my mind that the USA colonized the word America to have it refer only to themselves. How fucking on-brand is that?
Continents aren’t real.
Which continent is Russia in? Is Costa Rica in the same continent as Mexico or are they in different continents? Is “Central America” a continent?
It’s all made up bullshit, so why not just say Canada is it’s own continent?
I fully agree with you, but add the additional point that countries are fictions as well.
While we’re on the topic, borders are very fictitious.
Countries have leaders, cultures, and history. They’re at least as real is this web forum we’re communicating on is.
I’ll give you this; historically, they’re at least as real as the concept of whiteness.
Sorry, but I don’t see her saying sorry!
Yeah, some of the key Canadian words are missing, eh?
Yeah, that hoser needs to take off
Sörry
I’m American. That’s how we view you guys as well.
Good.
The biggest insult a Canadian could ever hear is being called ‘American’.
Shit as an American the biggest insult I could ever hear is being called an American. That isn’t the flex you think it is
Thdy must have vastly different smoking laws in Japan. We can’t smoke within 4m of entrances (legally), let alone indoors.
We aren’t - this is spot on
