Maple syrup, those animals that look like mooses (are they mooses?).
Oh and those tunnels there are in Montreal (or was it Quebec) because in winter it's too cold outside.

The best collection of Emett's "Things" on the planet.
Ontario Science Centre, Toronto, every December.
OK, that is my particular interest.

The best view of Niagara Falls. Especially when frozen.
(Comes of being there in December)

Oh, and spelling Centre, centre.

The fact that their country has a larger land mass and less people, especially once you get over 100km from the US border.

Considering how cold it is, I like the fact that it's so far away. :wink:

Aussies like to think we are a lot like Canadians, except we have hot dry weather, you have cold wet weather (I count snow as wet) and they are not rude and crass.

Never been there, but I love BC & Alberta, Canada Geese, wide open spaces.

I have liked every Canadian I have ever met.

Love your flag.

-Red Green
-It's there
-True comedy in election campaigns
-Widely used $1 and $2 coins
-Pondering the future 'What If' questions on what will happen when Quebec and/or Alberta decide to bolt from confederation
-Fuel priced in litres and highway signs in meters and km
-Single municipality metro areas
-Their success and galantry at Utah Beach
-Its flag with a leaf that is ready to drop from its tree
-Going to hospital or to university instead of to the hospital or to the university
-Its lack of ground transportation links between east and west (one two-lane road and two single-track railroads just east of Thunder Bay, ON are all that directly connects the two sides) and the fact that the country has (so far) held together despite that
-The (former) Algoma Central Railway.
