I am Canadian and the apology act is the most Canadian thing I've ever heard

The town of Gander is also famous for having been instrumental in housing Americans who's flights were adversely affected by the 9/11 tragedy.
The town of Gander put up thousands of stranded travelers and there's even been a Broadway show based on their story. A lot of the towns inhabitants kept in touch with the people they housed, even to this day.

Tyler, Polarbear jail is real. I live in Winnipeg and Churchill is further north and the polar bear capital of the world. Nuisance bears ( those who keep coming into the town, looking for food ) are caught in polar bear traps. They are then taken to the “ jail “ . It’s a holding facility that can keep up to 28 bears in individual pens. They are tranquilized, given a health check, which may include shots like antibiotics etc. they are fitted with a tracking collar. Then they are taken by helicopter and relocated further away from town. The

The reason there are so many lakes in Canada is because the glacier from the last ice age that covered most or all of Canada, basically scraped away a lot of the topsoil, making for lots of places to collect water as the glacier melted.

I really recommend you watch all the seasons of Heritage Minutes Tyler. There is one of Joe Schuster who drew/created Superman. Also, the largest Icelandic community outside of Iceland is in Gimli, Manitoba. The Winnipeg Falcons (a hockey team) who won the 1st Olympic hockey gold medal was made up entirely of Icelandic Canadians from Gimli. Many of Canada's lakes are named for Canadian soldiers who died in W.W. I and W.W. II.

I live on the shores of Lake Okanagan. We don’t know what’s at the bottom of it! It is a fjord lake with a depth of almost 800 feet - way deeper than Lake Superior. The Ogopogo gets spotted swimming in the lake every summer! Some folks think it’s a sturgeon that’s the size of a pickup truck!

For a long time Lacrosse was the national sport of Canada. It’s a First Nations game which is fairly popular, especially because many skills are similar to those used in hockey. In fact there are many Canadian NHL players who also played lacrosse growing up in the summer months. Hockey is so ingrained that it was later added as a co-national sport. Then people started designations one as the national winter sport and the other as the national summer sport.

Black bear: No problem, brown bear: back away slowly, polar bear: pray to whoever you believe and hope you're faster than your friend

I'm from Nanaimo! I'm so happy to see the Bathtub Race getting a mention! Also if you're reading this, google how to make 'Nanaimo Bars'!

We actually have 11 levels of 'sorry' from a levle 0, which is saying sorry to an inanimate object for bumping into it, to a level 3 sorry for ALMOST bumping into someone without incident except startling them, to a level 6 sorry where you indeed did some harm to someone to the rare, but effective level 10 sorry, delivered with such razor sharp sarcasm that you are in fact apologizing to the universe for the other persons existence.

The temperature change in pincher creek is the result of a chinook rolling through. We get them every winter in southern Alberta. Basically a warm wind that can raise temperatures above freezing for anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks.
Ottawa isn't the 2nd largest city in the country. It's probably about 5th or 6th. Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, and maybe Edmonton are all bigger. Maybe the second largest in Ontario.

[josephblair]

The reason the temperature rised so quickly in pincher creek is because of its location, in southern Alberta there’s a weather phenomenon called chinooks, it’s when hot air flies over the mountains and warms the area, I’ve personally seen the temperature change from -40 to +5 in less than 8 hours
