My favorite moment with Canadians was on a fishing trip there.

It was in the late 80's or early 90's I forget the date, and the Worlds Fair or some such was in Paris (I could google to look up the date but thats not fun). Anyways they had a parade of nations thing and Canada was with the third world nations. (Some kid was dressed like a mounty and being held/danced with a woman in a big giant dress which I guess was suppose to represent the developed world or some such) Oh how the Canadian commentators were pissed at being lumped with the third world and did ‘not like it at all!’.

My second favorite bit was from about the same time. Prince Charles and Lady Diana were visiting and the news program was interviewing a ‘woman on the street’ about it and she said ‘Well in America they have Hollywood and Movie Stars, but in Canada we have royalty, eh?’

I’m really not sure if there is a point to this thread or not so perhaps it can be a place to share your fun Canadian stories.

The rest of my fun Canadian stories involve fish mostly.
