History Main / MooseAndMapleSyrup

* '''The Atlantic region''': basically [[HollywoodNewEngland Maine]] but [[UpToEleven even colder]], eh? Full of flannel-wearing fishermen with funny accents falling somewhere between Irish, Scottish, and {{Pirate}}, eh?
* '''Quebec''', full of artsy, [[FrenchJerk stuck up frogs]] who hate the people in the other parts and other Frenchmen (and sometimes even the English). Abandoned by France in favour of the Caribbean, but who wouldn't, ''[[ForeignCussWord ostie de tabarnac]]''?

Our army consists of a guy with a BB gun mounted on a moose, our air force a paper airplane[[note]]And [[TooCoolToLive the Avro Arrow]][[/note]], and our navy a guy in a canoe with a slingshot, eh?

Canadian technology is always behind American tech, eh?[[note]]Except of course, Canadarm, ATI, Alexander Graham Bell...[[/note]] In fact, if it wasn't for the Americans we'd have no culture at all, eh?

** [[Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld The film]], with American audiences in mind, lampshades this trope in the intro, saying that the story takes place "In the faraway land of Toronto, Canada".

* The persistent mentioning that shots need to contain "more Canadian content" by the director in Film/{{Windigo}} serves to spoof the Canadian obsession with having expressly Canadian movies to maintain their identity.

* ''Film/RumbleInTheBronx''. The Bronx apparently has a mountain range. (It was shot in Vancouver, BC.)

* ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk'', where near the end of the film we have the guy going into some hut in a forest, in Bella Coola, British Columbia, while he is trying to take control of becoming the hulk. Obviously, because it's so remote.

* Parodied in Rick Mercer's ''Series/ThisHourHas22Minutes'' sketch (and eventual special) "Talking To Americans", in which he interviewed American citizens, playing off their ill-conceived notions of what life is like in Canada (i.e. asking people if they would visit "Canada's national igloo", making them believe the Canadian time zones run on 20-hour clocks, convincing them that moose are being pelted with Tim Hortons Timbits, having them think Canada goes through a period of nocturnal darkness every year, etc.) One of his favorite traps is to try and get U.S. politicians to say that Toronto is the national capital.

* Creator/{{CBC}}'s long running sketch comedy series, ''Radio/RoyalCanadianAirFarce,'' poked fun at bunches of these.

** In one episode from Season 5, Robin and Barney end up in a Tim Horton's in Toronto (Dunkin Donuts being the rest of the world's answer to Tim Hortons). The restaurant is a very authentic replication. The moment gets funnier when Barney goes out of his way to insult every Canadian in the restaurant, which results in a little kid barring the door with a hockey stick and Barney getting the snot beat out of him.

* ''Series/TwinPeaks'', set in north-west USA, featured Canadian drug dealers dressed as lumberjacks and speaking with French accents.

* The semi-satirical, mostly serious folk/rock band of the 90s called Music/MoxyFrüvous [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MeQK7JtLpU notably averted the "stereotypes"]], despite singing about Canada in a great deal of their songs. It didn't stop them from [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-00zjEq9PNs taking a dig at both Spain and Canada on of their most famous songs]].
** By the way, that's Jian Ghomeshi with the longest hair (known to much of Canada now as the host of the program Q on CBC Radio).

* Vancouver based folk-rock band Spirit of the West exemplified the 'soary' ideal in their song "Far Too Canadian". They also celebrated the Canadian-Scot heritage in "The Old Sod", and touched upon canadian life in many other songs.

* ''JacobTwoTwo'' (the Canadian animated series) probably qualify as a [[WidgetSeries Weird Canadian Thing]]. It's got everything: a specific setting (Montreal), hockey obsession, overstuffed jackets, a token Quebecois, and homework assignments on Canadian explorers (in which Jacob is assisted by the ghost of a bumbling French-Canadian trapper). In fact, other small instances of Canada, Eh? are common on shows made by {{Nelvana}}.

* ''Taking Lives'' is an American thriller set for no particular reason in Montreal, which you can tell because everyone speaks French from France and there's an establishing shot of the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chateau_Frontenac Château Frontenac]]. Having the Chateau Frontenac in Montreal is the equivalent of showing the Statue of Liberty in Washington.

* Creator/DavidCronenberg's films are often set in his hometown, Toronto, which he naturally portrays quite realistically. A realistic Montreal crops up occasionally, too. His 1986 remake of ''The Fly'' is shot in the downtown core of Toronto, and several prominent stores are visible during some of the scenes (such as Toronto City Hall, and, when Brundle walks down the street eating a chocolate bar, he passes the most random places.)

** {{Fanon}} generally holds that Commander Shepard is of Canadian descent, due to Shepard voice actors (male and female) hailing from Canada. Lampshaded in the third game if Shepard is in a romance with Samantha Traynor:

* In ''Franchise/MassEffect'', after the creation of the [[ExpandedStatesOfAmerica United North American States]] in 2096, Vancouver is mentioned as having unified with Seattle into one large Megacity and serves as one of the headquarters of the [[TheFederation Systems Alliance]] on Earth. It's also the location of Shepard's trial during the prologue in ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' and one of the first locations attacked by the Reapers.

-->''[Traynor had been angsting about humanity ending up like the Quarians]''\\

--> '''Kaidan''': We have beef, bacon, we have beer... "[[SelfDeprecation the foods of my people]]".

* In ''Franchise/MassEffect'', the Earth base of the [[TheFederation Systems Alliance]] is in Vancouver, and {{Fanon}} generally holds that Commander Shepard is Canadian since both the male and female Shepard voice actors are. Kaidan is the most clear-cut example, with roots in Vancouver. Lampshaded in his scene in the third game's "Citadel" DLC when he offers to cook Shepard "the foods of my people" - beef, bacon and beer.
** It also comes up if Shepard is romancing Samantha Traynor:

-->'''Mountie (StevenWright)''': I don't know what you're talkin' aboot.\\

----

** {{Wolverine}} of the [=X-Men=] was their first Canadian member, and very proudly so, though he hardly advertises the fact. It's made complex because John Byrne made him Canadian, and Marvel didn't care because at the time, they didn't think he'd be a major character. As his popularity grew, Marvel repeatedly tried to ''retcon'' his history to make him American, with no success. He's now generally recognized as Canadian in the comic.

* ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' had a family of Canadians staying in Boomhauer's place who acted passive-aggressively rude and inconsiderate to everyone, even going so far as [[SeriousBusiness to put down on Hank's lawn]]. The episode also depicts Boomhauer meeting up with a French speaker in Guelph, Ontario, very improbable in real life, and them kayaking with mountains in the background - something the province lacks.

* In ''Franchise/MassEffect'', the Earth base of the [[TheFederation Systems Alliance]] is in Vancouver, and {{Fanon}} generally holds that Commander Shepard is Canadian since both the male and female Shepard voice actors are. Kaidan is the most clear-cut example, with roots in Vancouver. Lampshaded in his scene in the third game's "Citadel" DLC when he offers to cook Shepard "the foods of my people" - beef, bacon and beer.

* {{Phelous}}. In his early ''MortalKomedy'' videos, characters frequently spoke of having to travel to "Oatworld."

* "[[RobinWilliams Canada]] is like [[UnusualEuphemism having a loft apartment over a great party.]]"

* In the ''ComicBook/{{X-Men}}'' books, Canada is an outright evil place. They're the ones responsible for inhumane genetic experimentation on minorities like the Weapon X program. They've put mutants in concentration camps and gassed them, including women and children. Basically, Marvel Canada = NaziGermany.

* In the second installment of the ''VideoGame/SlyCooper'' series, the Klaww Gang member Jean Bison is a Canadian lumberjack, and his levels feature all sorts of Canadian stereotypes, such as log rolling, lots of snow, moose, accents, and flannel.

* The semi-satirical, mostly serious folk/rock band of the 90s called Moxy Früvous [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MeQK7JtLpU notably averted the "stereotypes"]], despite singing about Canada in a great deal of their songs. It didn't stop them from [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-00zjEq9PNs taking a dig at both Spain and Canada on of their most famous songs]].

* An old joke is that Canada was originally spelled Cnd. However, Sir John A. [=MacDonald=] had an American secretary when Cnd first became a country. He asked her to write up the documents on the new country, and she asked him how is was spelled. The Prime Minister replied "C, eh. N, eh. D, eh."

* Rock Lee is Canadian in ''WebVideo/NarutoTheAbridgedSeries''. Two Sound ninja were able to distract him by offering him ''maple syrup and a hockey stick''.
* Andrew from ''WebVideo/SailorMoonAbridged'' also speaks with a stereotype Canadian accent, although he denies being Canadian. (He's North Mexican)
* From ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'', we find out that [[spoiler:[[FakeAmerican Bandit Keith]]]] is ironically Canadian.
* Lieutenant Jee from ''WebVideo/AvatarTheAbridgedSeries'' has a stereotypical Canadian accent as well.

* ''Film/TheDirties''

* Another Rick Mercer production, ''Series/MadeInCanada'': Inverted whenever dealing with characters who are American. Often Americans are portrayed as dumb, culture-unaware, and occasionally gun-loving. The Vice President of NBC is a good example of being a Fake American when Richard visits Los Angeles. But then, Canadian show business is no better.
