Nothing screams “True North Strong and Free” like us Canadians doing what Canadians do best. Here is a roundup of the most Canadian things to do in Canada. Warning: may contain stereotypes… and lots of food-related items.

1. Grab a double-double from Timmies. This one was a given, but an extremely important ingredient in our Canadian culture. Oh, and pay for it with a Toonie!
2. Jam out to Sam Roberts, Drake, J-Biebs, Céline Dion, Michael Bublé, or any other talented musicians born in our land.
3. Crack open some Canadian nectar (and by this we mean beer) from your two-four.
4. Crack open more nectar (this time we mean maple syrup) and smother it over some flapjacks.
5. Go ice fishing.
6. Say you’re sorry (sorry, this was just a stereotype, sorry again).
7. Watch the Canada Day fireworks on Parliament Hill.
8. Play a couple games of hockey (or road hockey if you’re in the one season when Canada isn’t a nationwide blizzard).
9. Canoe along Lake Louise and bask in all its glory.
10. Munch on some Smarties, enjoy a Crispy Crunch, or snack on ketchup chips. Sorry, America…we’ve got you beat on this one!
11. Get down to Old Montreal and try a Montreal smoked meat sandwich. (Can you hear the heavenly choir singing after you read that? We can.)
12. Eat a beloved Canadian dessert: a Beaver Tail — and slap on some maple syrup ‘cause you’re CANADIAN and CAN! (Just for the non-Canadians reading this, no it’s not a real beaver’s tail.)
13. Eat some Canadian bacon atop a bowl of poutine while sipping from a milk BAG (because we’re not about jugs  in the Great White North).
14. Visit Peggy and her Cove.
15. Get down and dirty at the Calgary Stampede.
16. Wear copious amounts of flannel.
17. Spend 2 hours shovelling your driveway only to have it snow immediately after you kick off your boots. Don’t worry though, you can use a snow blower because WE INVENTED IT.
18. Watch the Grey Cup and cheer on your province.
19. Go get a check-up (free health care, woo!).
20. Ryan Gosling. This doesn’t make sense but it had to go in anyway.
21. Make some Nanaimo bars and butter tarts — because we invented those, too!
22. Watch some Hockey Night in Canada with Don Cherry and his amazingly outrageous suits.
23. Do the Terry Fox run.
24. Go visit Niagara Falls (Maid of the Mist, anyone?).
25. Visit Lord Stanley’s cup.
26. Make a big pot of Kraft Dinner because that’s Canadian as well! (And because you probably have about 4 different boxes of assorted flavours in your cupboard raring to be cooked.)
27. Rock some Hudson’s Bay stripes.
28. Go “oot and aboot”!
29. Ski the beautiful Rockies.
30. Proudly sew our flag on your backpack because apparently that’s what we DO when we travel outside our great nation. But as the saying goes, “if you’ve got it, flaunt it, eh?” Okay, the “Eh” was an addition.

Go CANADA Go!
