As a Canadian i find these pictures weird. It seems to imply that women outnumber men yet statistics canada indicates this is not the case? Lumberjack guy and two women Lone female hockey player Women drinking beer We dont need to take opportunity to push a political message, sometimes we just have stock photos without careful screening to meet some agenda.

Look, bub, they've got ketchup chips, poutine, canadian tuxedos, business meetings about the maple syrup reserve... are you gonna complain about the anatomical inaccuracy of the moose, too? Otoh... I'm not really sure why this got posted to HN... it's just a dumb joke. My gf sent me this gallery of butt-shaped mushrooms... are we posting those here now? edit: come on folks, I'm not posting that here, you know how to search the internet

Maybe it was just chance, or maybe it was intentional. I'm ok with it regardless. It's called oversteering. You sometimes do it when you've been on a crash course you're trying to get out of :)

I've heard the documentary Trailer Park Boys also presents a somewhat distorted view of rural Canadia. Is that true?

  Yeah, in my experience, the Red Green show is more accurate
