Fun Facts About Canada
(A new feature, which will likely appear whenever I remember that I have launched a new feature… )
So, I’d like to enlighten readers today with some fun facts about this crazy country I live in. Not knowing where my three readers may actually be located themselves, I have deduced that some may not actually be FROM Canada, and…taking that logic one step further, may not even know much about Canada itself.
So, I have determined that for potential readers in say…Cow Pasture, Lithuania…and “Good Morning” to y’all out there…I will start to include some Fun Facts About Canada, from time to time.
So, we’ll start off today with 6 generic bits of generally general knowledge about Canada.
1) Canada is enormous, but on average, about 97% empty. There’s more bare land than there are people living here. For support of this claim, just drive through Saskatchewan, and try finding evidence of settlement or civilization anywhere…
2) Canada has a very high sky. Even if you live in a big city, one of the things you will generally begin to notice about Canada is that the sky is way the hell up there, in the sky.
3) Canada has the largest population of mosquitoes in North America. And 87% of those live in Winnipeg…
4) Canada is home to The Royal Canadian Mounted Police. How often they get mounted is anybody’s guess…
5) Canada is the country of origin for The Canadian Goose – which will crap on beaches and golf courses anywhere, regardless of geographic location. Canadian geese are pretty lackadaisical that way…
6) Canada is one of the few places in the world where a spelling bee will include words like “toque”, “eh”, and “ou est les fenetres?”
Chow for now!

Ohhhh, I love this. I'm in the US and have always wanted to know more about Canada. Maybe there are humans who take a few lessons from the geese. They're not prejudice and they're proud of it. At least, I would think they have to be proud of it for all the messes they leave!!
We aim to please, here at Such Is Life.
Although, I wouldn't plan on winning any Jeopardy tournaments with stuff that I'll be posting in these segments...
