    I’ve been to Whistler Blackcomb a couple of times. That’s really all I know of Canada.

    So based on that limited experience, 6/5 Hobbits

        As weird as it may sound, Aussie culture is closer to British and American culture, than Canadian culture is to both those.

        Canada shook away it’s British roots quite a bit (wtf is cricket anyway) and tried to distance itself culturally from America due to proximity.

        However Canadian humour and Aussie humour is very different, but appealing to each other.

          Oh yeah they’re different types of humour but mutually intelligible 😂 my uncle is Canadian (partner to my aunt/dad’s sister) and it’s definitely evident, but still funny and on point!

          And it isn’t weird at all, Aussie humour is its own thing but very very heavily influenced by Britain and the USA for sure!

          Oh omg I’m a born and raised Aussie but I don’t even know what cricket is!! I don’t know how it scores, what any terminology means, nothing. I can’t even remember if the bowler is supposed to hit the wickets or not 😭 I MUCH prefer tennis!

            Aussie sarcasm and shit talking for the fun of it, is second to none.

            Brits do it in a condescending way, but Aussies do it more egalitarian. None one is safe, and everyone can be made fun off.

            Canadian sarcasm is not far off just more polite.

            American sarcasm is reserved for those who can think…so not enough.

      Whistler is the Gold Coast of Canada.

      Holidays for some locals and many foreigners, not looked down upon, but not really celebrated

      If you want to know about Canada, ask away. Apart from recent stuff, cause I’ve lived here for two decades now.

      I had a view of Canada from my desk for a few years.
