RE: Steem Basic Income Giveaway (Cringe...)
How do you think foreigners view your country (via news/tourism messaging)?
I am from Canada.
Everyone thinks
- We say Eh? - a lot.
- We drink a lot of beer.
- We have a lot of snow and it is cold all the time.
- We have moose wandering around.
- We are nice, polite and say "sorry" all the time.
Is it the country that you experience, or is it cringe-worthy?
- We do say Eh? - A LOT!
- We do drink a lot of beer. So much beer.
- We have a lot of snow and it is cold all the time. Yes, until it gets very hot, humid and miserable for a few weeks if we are lucky that year.
- We have moose wandering around. No! Most Canadians have never seen one and live in or near cities.
- We are nice, polite and say "sorry" all the time. We are really not that nice, but being polite and saying "sorry" all the time makes it seem that way.
Funnily enough.. the only time that I've been to Canada was in the middle of winter (it was freezing...) in Toronto. I didn't notice that people said "eh"... there was that really weird Poutine chips stuff... and people were super nice!... well, at least to my face! No Meese though....
Haha! You went at the worst time! A bunch of Canadians will tell you, "It's not that cold" though. I'm glad you got to see the place and had a good time. I might be a bit jaded.
