I hope you all had a fun packed long weekend! I couldn’t let Canada Day pass without addressing it; so here I am, with eleven things I love from Canada! I seriously love my country, so the list could go on and on; but I’ve tried to narrow it down for the sake of all our attention spans 😉
Here it goes (in no particular order, mind you):
1. the maple leaf – a beautiful symbol of Canada
2. The Hudson’s Bay Company & The Hudson’s Bay Blanket
3. Maple Syrup – seriously amazing in & on everything!
4. Butter Tarts – one of my favourite treats of all time
5. Holt Renfrew [aka Holts] – Canada’s luxury department store since 1837
6. McIntosh Apples – delicious, yet healthy..when does that happen? 😉
7. Hockey – Canada’s National Sport
8. Poutine – don’t say ‘gross‘ until you’ve tried it – it’s amazing
9. The Telephone – thanks Alexander Graham Bell, I’d be lost without mine
10. Tim Horton’s and Timbits – the chocolate ones are my weakness
11. BeaverTails – chocolate and icing sugar are my toppings of choice
What’s your favourite ‘Canadian’ novelty?

I think I’m a Canadian at heart, lol ’cause I seem to love
all Canadian things you’ve listed, (just not the super chilling
cold, winters). Have a great week ahead. XOXO Nensi
haha, true! 😉 The cold winters aren’t my favourite either (not always horrible in Toronto), but the snow is absolutely breathtaking!
Love all these typical things about Canada, I’m at most curious about the Poutine, Timbits and the beaver tails……they all look me very nice and tasty 🙂
Shiro, you must try them!! 🙂 come to Canada (failing that, attempt to make them at home). You’ll love them!
Oh I would love to come to Canada, it have to be amazing and I surely would like to try these wonderful sweets and I also do a great pleasure to my eldest daughter who’s a belieber….hahaha ! Have a pleasant evening Victoria 🙂
Mmm, beaver tails.. I lovee beaver tails. The rest too, but mmm beaver tails.
Butter Tarts are my weakness!!!
