I don't personally - I drank a shot glass-sized dose of maple syrup when I was 10 years old as a dare and kind of lost my taste for it.
But there is something called a Cabane à Sucre (Sugar Shack) which is basically when sap is collected from maple trees and boiled into maple syrup.
There's all kinds of maple-related and outdoors-y activities, including a feast made up of things like ham, baked beans, scrambled eggs, pork rinds and pancakes (all covered in maple, naturally).
And there's also tire d'érable, which is kind of like maple taffy - and when the syrup is poured onto the snow and lifted with a small popsicle-style stick and turned into a lollypop.
As much as I try not to, yes.
I don't pronounce it oo-t (out) and a-boot (about) though.
Yes, a thousand times over. But since it can often be used to replace 'huh?', it always ends up sounding like I'm either a) apologising for something that I shouldn't be, or b) permanently confused.
Kinda. When I was still living at home, I used to go to every home game (around 41 a year).
Now I just have to settle for watching live streams at midnight (or the very grim 3am starts) whenever I can.
Not all the time, but I've got a pretty neutral-sounding accent - so I'll be confused for an American often enough.
Either that, or get asked where in North America I'm from (with the reasoning that they think #5 is true).
Nope. I've got a neutral accent, it's bound to happen.
He's got great socks.
I think it's hilarious that a Canadian wrote a song that is essentially just a giant 3-and-a-half-minute apology.
Yes.
And as intimidating as it was (seriously, it was huge), it is the Canadian geese that are absolutely terrifying.
Everyone was really, really welcoming after I first arrived - almost to a Canadian-stereotype-level of kindness.
It even still happens, since I'm still occasionally mistaken for having just got here/being a tourist.
My family, snow, poutine, and getting to see ice hockey live.
And Tim Hortons.
Kind of.
We've got Canada Day, which is the anniversary of when the colonies of Canada, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick were joined to make one country - otherwise known as when the Constitution Act, 1867 was enacted.
Canada didn't become fully independent of England until the Canada Act of 1982, though.
Yeah, I spent a lot of my childhood in Quebec so, growing up, a lot of my classes in school were in French.
This one gets broken out every four years, without fail.
It's February, so I can't speak for the rest of the year - but it's definitely something everyone seems to be pretty proud of.
It's the biggest team the country had brought to the Olympic Winter Games, and they ended up third in the medal standings - what's not to get excited about?
Yes, but not entirely in one language. As in, I know it primarily in like...3/4 French, 1/4 English.
I've been asked way too many times if I know here - and I'm not sure that they were all joking?
The levels of rain. I know it sounds stupid, and I probably should have expected it, but I wasn't prepared for that much rain.
Chicken fillet rolls. Please. It'd make visits home so much easier.
The answer changes from time to time.
But given the week that's in it, I'd say be better prepared for all kinds of weather - especially snow.
At this point in my life, it's not something I'm considering (sorry, mom and dad).
But never say never, eh?
