25 wholesome images that sum up what Canada is actually like: 'Lawmakers wore pink heels'

Every country has its own specialty and culture they take pride in. When it comes to Canada, outsiders know that it is famous for its poutines and maple syrups. The region is also known for its insanely low temperatures due to being closer to the Northern Pole. Well, let's not forget about the bold beavers and moose that roam around in public areas without an ounce of fear. Sometimes, if you are unlucky enough, you might encounter a grizzly bear trying to pry open the doors to your house as well. However, the country also holds the merge of the spectacular landscapes on one side and concrete jungle on the other.

From their maple leaf stamped flag to their love for ice hockey, Canada is also known for its polite population who always extend their helping hands to the ones in need. You can visit the country to catch a glimpse of the Aurora Borealis too. Their extensive stretch of national parks and the magnificent Niagra Falls at its borders prove that Canada is totally different as a Western nation compared to its neighbor, the U.S.A. Well, here we have compiled a bunch of pictures from Reddit that sum up the country and its specialties as a whole.
