A citizen of the northernmost country in North America, Canada.
People from other countries commonly stereotype Canadian culture, though usually as a joke, but, sometimes taken seriously.
The most common stereotypes include:
-Living in igloos
-Saying "eh" a lot
-Being overly nice
-Mispronouncing words such as "house", or "about". ("Aboot, Hoose".)
-Being good at hockey
-Having a unique french accent.
-Being "outdoors-y"
-Having a horse-mounted police force
-Lack of military
-A love for maple syrup
-and so forth.
Many sterotypes hold some shred of truth, as every stereotype does.
-The Canadian military is miniscule in relation to it's land mass, though it is able to do it's duty without problem, in and out of the country.
-How Canadians speak depends on the province. Newfoundlanders (or Newfies) in particular.
-The general interest in hockey seems to be higher in Canada, though the lack of teams make it difficult to win a Stanley Cup.
Canadians are usually portrayed in the media as nice people with funny accents, occasionally riding a moose, wearing a toque, and emphasizing "eh" whenever possible.
In the end, Canadians are the same as Americans, and patriotism ruins it.

The average American could just think of a Canadian as someone who grew up in a different state.
Everyone else can think of them as an American who happens to speak french.
This is assuming that American media has had a larger effect on the concerned party.

Get the Canadianmug. The best type of people, where Keanu Reeves, Michael Cera, Elliot Page, Maple Syrup, Metric, The Scott Pilgrim Franchise, Neil Young, Plumtree, K-OS, Rush and Sum41 (one of the most badass bands ever) are from. (And it shows!)
There also super nice, and they have the best women too, and our very welcoming.

Get the Canadianmug. A term used by people in the service industry for difficult customers who leave little to no tip. This term is often used for African Americans, and Foreigners, including actual Canadians, that tend to act like they do not understand the American system of working for tips and getting paid next to nothing hourly!!(which is how the term started) In countries other than the USA waiters get paid hourly rates, and tend to not receive tips so, when they travel to the USA they either don't know they should tip, or pretend they don't know in order to cheat their server. Unfortunately African Americans tend to also fall into this category of incredibly low insulting tips or just no tips at all.
Man, I'll never be able to pay rent, or feed my kids if I keep getting all these tables of Canadians not tipping me worth crap! I mean I'm not here waiting tables for free!! :-(

Get the Canadianmug. A resident of Canada. A player of hockey, the keeper of the great beaver and closely guarded by the mountie, the Canadian is humble, quietly proud and refrains from forcing his/her values on the world with embarrassingly patriotic displays and is opposed to the use of force for personal gain. The Canadian is always courteous, polite and ready to lend a hand. They are a hardy people who endure extreme changes of season with ease. They are a healthy, rugged, outdoors-friendly bunch who prefer sitting around a campfire listening to Neil Young than attending a Hollywood party. Canadians are known to consume back-bacon as a primary source of energy, often with a quality Canadian beer. Aside from the lumber jacket, Canadians may be hard to identify as they are not bold or stand out in a crowd and must be talked to in order to identify them (éh).
A hockey champion.

I was north of the border when my car broke down and had it not been for the that Canadian I would have froze to death in the frozen Tundra.... I would be proud to be Canadian!!!
