I've seen Canadian Bacon, Kids in the Hall and the South Park Movie, and I've listened to Martha and the Muffins- what else do I need to know about Canada? Well, maybe there's more....
From the Globe and Mail:
Oh sure, you hear about how everyone plays hockey in Canada, gets to the rink by dogsled and then goes home to an igloo.
But many myths about Canadians that circulate in the United States aren't nearly so silly or harmless.
Perceptions that Canada is soft on immigration, routinely harbours terrorists and supplies most of the U.S. with marijuana are potentially a lot more unsettling to cross-border ties.
That's one reason why the Canadian embassy in Washington is assembling an army of ex-pats as it battles the errors spouted by U.S. television pundits and repeated at dinner parties.
