Katrina Vinderskov, studied at Griffith University Gold Coast (2016)
I’m from a small town called Caraquet, New-Brunswick and I’ve moved to Australia about a year ago.
These are a few lesser known facts about Canada:
1. Canada is the World's Most Educated Country: over half its residents have college degrees.
2. Canada has more lakes than the rest of the world's lakes combined.
3. Canada consumes more macaroni and cheese than any other nation in the world. (I’m really missing good old Kraft Dinner)
4. I never locked my house door until I moved to Australia.
5. I also never locked my car door and kept a spare key under the rug, in case someone needed it.
6. I’ve never had anything stolen until I moved to the Gold Coast.
7. Not everyone loves Hockey, but we do respect the sport.
8. Gay marriage was officially legalized in 2005.
9. The quality of the tap water is often better than bottled water. In my family home, we use an underground well.
10. If you send a letter to ”Santa Claus, North Pole, H0H 0H0.” You will get a response from Santa.
11. We have an organisation called “Operation Red Nose”, where volunteers drive drunk people home during the holiday season, for free. My home town doesn’t have taxis, buses, or Uber.
12. Mc Donalds sells Poutine, and it’s awesome.
13. Health Care is free, you really can just walk in and out of a hospital without ever seeing a bill.
14. We call beanies, tuques.
15. We have a strategic maple syrup reserve.
16. My province, New-Brunswick, is completely bilingual. You can get served in English or French. Everything has to be bilingual as well, including road signs, menus, food labels, etc…
17. Yes, a moose is huge.
Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed these facts!
