People think we see orcas and bears all the time, just casually running into cougars in our way to school, but in reality it is just as rare for us to see them as it is for tourists and other people around the word. Stereotypes for Canadians include that we always say sorry even if it isn't our fualt which I guess is true, and that we say Eh! all the time. ]]> 2019-04-11 19:00:54 UTC https://padlet.com/marijnb72911/_padlet_04/wish/350936347 marijnb72911 https://padlet.com/marijnb72911/_padlet_04/wish/351782447 I think we realize that the world sees us as some vast arctic landscape, and we honestly find it funny. People also see Canada as mostly vast and empty, where wildlife and people live together in the woods and live off fish. They think we're all loggers who own huge trucks and wear lumberjack shirts all the time. I don't think they realize that we have cities and normal climate too, so it is fun to see peoples reactions when I tell them I live in Canada. ]]> 2019-04-15 19:08:05 UTC https://padlet.com/marijnb72911/_padlet_04/wish/351782447 marijnb72911 https://padlet.com/marijnb72911/_padlet_04/wish/352355001 To me Canada is Home. It's where most of my family is, and it is a safe environment. Canada is a place where I can feel safe, where the air is clean and the view is beautiful, and everyone is kind. It's extremaly diverse, and is a safe and happy place to grow up in. ]]> 2019-04-17 16:46:29 UTC https://padlet.com/marijnb72911/_padlet_04/wish/352355001 marijnb72911 https://padlet.com/marijnb72911/_padlet_04/wish/352359095 2019-04-17 16:57:25 UTC https://padlet.com/marijnb72911/_padlet_04/wish/352359095 marijnb72911 https://padlet.com/marijnb72911/_padlet_04/wish/355288983 2019-04-30 03:59:11 UTC https://padlet.com/marijnb72911/_padlet_04/wish/355288983
