About This Quiz

Ask anyone outside of Canada what they think about the country, and you'll probably get a wide variety of answers.

One very true stereotype is every Canadian's pride in the country. There's a whole lot of it, which is shown in many ways, like Canada celebrations and Canadian flags. As a Canadian, we're sure you've participated in the July 1st festivities in your own way! There are so many truly Canadian foods to enjoy, as well. Of course, Canada is known for its famous poutine. But that's not the only delicious food the country has to offer: Just try anything with maple syrup to see why it's loved so much!
