History Main / MooseAndMapleSyrup

* ''SailorMoonAnotherStory'' had a chapter where Sailor Jupiter goes to Canada to find Nephrite's Hi Stone, which is at the top of the Protection God's Tree.

--> In one episode of ''{{Rugrats}}'', the Pickles stop at "North of the Border," a Canadian-themed theme park/tourist trap. Some of its attractions are a mini version of Niagara Falls and an igloo-shaped restaurant where everything is made with maple syrup. When Grandpa wakes up in the car, he thinks he's actually in Canada without a passport and tries to hide from the "Mounties" (which are actually just park handymen in Mountie uniforms).

* Canada in ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' is the home of Terrence and Philip, which were originally intended as a parody of ''South Park'' itself: a crudely drawn and animated show about farts. However, later episodes turned Terrence and Philip into real people and made all Canadians act like them: they are all crudely drawn, move their mouths by "flapping" the tops of their heads, speak in a rapid-paced and stylized accent, address each other as "buddy" or "guy," and fart a lot. More traditional Canadian stereotypes, such as mooses, mounties, maple syrup and Kraft Dinner are also commonly addressed.

* The Yukon Ho storyline from ''CalvinAndHobbes'' has Calvin seceding from his family to go live as a mountain man in northern Canada. He doesn't get very far, obviously, as he seems to assume that walking from his [[WhereTheHellIsSpringfield unspecified hometown]] (generally assumed to be Chagrin Falls, Ohio) to the Yukon will only take an afternoon, but he says that once he gets there he'll be able to hunt walruses.

* Canada in ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark''. [[WesternAnimation/SouthParkBiggerLongerAndUncut The movie]] subverts it, however, as the Canadians, as a race, form the OnlySaneMan. But don't even get us started on Steven Abootman, head of the WGA (the World Canadian Bureau) and his ridiculous Canadian Strike. For some reason, Canadians in ''South Park'' have a distinct affinity for big musical numbers. When the main characters went to Canada, ("It's Christmas in Canada") it was portrayed as positively [[Literature/TheWizardOfOz Oz-like]] ("Follow the Only Road! Follow the Only Road!".) Along the way they encounter several national stereotypes, such as a Mounted policeman forced to ride a sheep, an oddly talkative Québécois mime distraught over wine being outlawed, and a guy from Newfoundland upset over recent laws prohibiting him from having gay sex. All of these were due to the new Prime Minister, Saddam Hussein. Ka-''kow''! But despite all of that, the Canadians are generally portrayed in this episode as decent, friendly folk... Except for Scott. He's a dick.
** For the record, Steven Abootman is ''not'' Terrence and Phillip's buddy, guy.
*** [[MemeticMutation Nor are they his guy, friend.]]
*** [[OverusedRunningGag Nor is he their friend, buddy.]]
** There's also the episode about the Canadian Royal Wedding, a clear parody of the British Royal Wedding. When the wedding resumes at the end of the episode, we see that it's "tradition" to rip the bride's arm off and wave it around.

* [[LetsPlay/YogscastSips Sips]] from the LetsPlay/{{Yogscast}} is from Canada. You can occasionally hear him slip in an "eh?" in his videos.

In American media, Canada is [[QuirkyNeighbourCountry a sweet, quirky and slightly backwards version of America]], eh? It's as if you took everyone from Minnesota, gave them an obsession with [[CanadianEqualsHockeyFan ice UsefulNotes/IceHockey hockey]] [[note]]Anyone who thinks this should be clarified to UsefulNotes/IceHockey will be stiffly beaten by the RCMP, with a hockey stick, eh?[[/note]] (OK, ''more'' of an obsession), and made that an entire country, eh? Everybody's white (except the First Nations), eh, and everyone who isn't French has a Scottish [[note]]or Irish, or English, or even Welsh[[/note]] last name, eh?

* '''UsefulNotes/{{Toronto}}''': basically Chicago but cleaner, eh? Not actually the national capital, despite the fact many foreigners think it is, eh? It's actually the provincial[[note]]"provinces" are Canada's version of States, ya hooser.[[/note]] capital of Ontario, eh?

* Downplayed in ''PacificRim''. The prequel comics revealed that the first Jaeger-prototype and the first to kill a Kaiju was Brawler Yukon which was built in Vancouver. Also, one of the "Suits" talking to Pentecost in the beginning represented Canada but had none of the stereotypes.

** It also helps that some of the episodes are done in Canada by Carbuncle Cartoons, and that JohnK himself is from Canada as well.

** And then the last part if reversed, when [[CrowningmomentOfAwesome he's the host of]] {{Hetaween 12011}}. And he even gets people to tell him how good his work is! [[NeverLetItDown The fandom conventiently forgets it.]]
