"Wat is the Countrey Canada All About?" A Da-da Pictorial Essay Answer

Da-da is nothing if not helpful. So let's take a moment and review a simple pictorial essay he created to explain to you what Canada is really all about, or "aboot" as they say in Canadian (the language they speak in Canada).

Let's start with the Canadian dog.

Fig. 47. The Canadian dog.

Canadian dogs are BIG. And have antlers. If you see one, you should run up and THROW YOUR ARMS AROUND THEIR NECKS. They love that. They also adore fast motion and loud noises. Speaking of enormous animals...

Canada loves the Queen, and the feeling is mutual.

...Canadians LOVE Britain's Queen -- and it's easy to see why!

Climate-wise, Canada is a wonderful place to live. Here's a picture of Canada in summer. Good thing school is out!

Canadian figure skaters are always intense.

Speaking of summer, Canadians LOVE ice skating. Here's one of their best figure skaters really getting into it. Sometimes she jumps so high...

She must have reeeeeeeally long arms.

...you don't think she's ever coming down, regardless of what time zone she's hurtling through.

Canadians always know other Canadians.

Canadians always recognize each other wherever they go...

Sometimes a phone box is not just a phone box.

...and are experts in the field of communications.

Like American leaders, Canadian politicians are warm and friendly. Here's Toronto's mayor after a few Molsens. Looks like that hair cream is finally working!

Like a shoe and a bicycle.

Canada loves lumberjacks and Mounties and -- most importantly -- CANADA LOVES DA-DA. Jeez, how could they not?

Fig. 19a. Merlin.

 
Canada is entirely controlled by this one cat, as is really all of the Northern Hemisphere. His name is Merlin. He likes food and food. And to be rubbed. Forever.

Canada loves cats.

Above all, Canadians are known for having a superior sense of humor, which is why Da-da's secret wish is to be a Canadian. They also pay homage to Merlin as often as they can, in any way they can. Jeez, how could they not?

Hope this little photo essay gives you some idea of what Canada is really all about. Da-da and Snoopy are always here to help.
