    I was about 12 years old, my baby sister got to close to a goose and it started attacking. I got in the middle of it and my sister made her escape. I was not so lucky. I had bruises on my bruises. Luckily no broken bones. But a lengthy visit to the emergency room so they could ensure I had no internal bleeding. I think Canada could easily weaponize the goose.

    I was walking the Skyline trail in Cape Breton NS about 18 years ago. Took a double take off the path, about 20ft away was the largest moose I ever seen in my life. It had half of it's body out of the thick brush eating leafs off the tree. It's shoulders were so broad, it was probably the width of a grown mans spread arm length, HUGE antlers, it was at least 6ft tall. Watched it for about 20 minutes, then it reversed and slid into the thick brush and disappeared.

So I pulled into a rest-stop, and put my seat back for a nap, and rolled the window down, since it was spring and the weather was nice. I woke up to a bad smell, opened my eyes to a moose-cow with her entire head inside the cab of my pickup. She snuffled around a bit, then lost interest since I didn't have anything to eat.

      The frozen lake was curated to make rinks. You have to polish and flood and polish a skating rink, natural ice is bumpy from wind and waves when it was forming, and from snow falling on it when it was freezing, and so not safe to skate at high speeds on.

    13:56 - That's a sign that indicates a wall mounted fire hydrant. Mainly used on the sides of big buildings given they have two separate connection points: one serves as an output hydrant supply to fire trucks, and the other is an input which takes in pressurized water to push it into the building's built in sprinkler system. You want to be real sure you know which one you are connecting to since one gives you the constant water you need to fight a fire and the other one will just drain the sprinkler system of it's water and can leave a vacuum/air in the pipes which is a costly thing to fix properly.

Icebergs are not uncommon along the east coast of Newfoundland and Labrador in spring, in the area known as "Iceberg Alley"! Some are huge, certainly big enough to dwarf a couple of helicopters.

    We lived outside of Calgary, and one day we heard crying and wailing from a baby moose standing in the middle of a small duck pond. Called animal rescue and they told us " Do NOT get close to the baby....the mother will be close, she is probably searching for food, and mother's leave their baby's in the middle of ponds, so that coyotes and wolves won't get them, get back in your car" They did call me later to let me know they checked it out and saw a moose and baby in the area eating.....

    As others have said there are a lot of us of Scots descent here in Canada. My grandparents (father's side), uncle and one of my aunts came to Canada in 1921 from near Inverkip. My mom's father's family (Cameron) came in about 1910 from a village near Glasgow. Her mom's family came in the 1890s and were descended from Ulster Scots in Northern Ireland. While growing up, every parade or large event had a pipe band playing and they all knew at least 2 pieces (Black Bear, Highland Laddie, Skye Boat song, etc.) and Scotland the Brave. More than a dozen Reserve units in the Canadian Forces are Highland units.

    We commonly have moose drop by our house to say hi.

I wasn't about to open the door to yell at him because he was full-on head down and waving his antlers in a challenge to ...well...himself. I grabbed a really bright flashlight kept near the door, turned it on out the window to kill the reflection, and yell/roared. He folded himself in half and took off. I figure with the bright flash and noise he figured the other moose exploded..

    Most of these memes are purely anecdotal, but the mere fact that they pop up regularly enough to be witnessed by outsiders is testimony that, when suddenly faced with unusual, challenging circumstances, Canadians will resort to humour, kindness, self-derision or some other form of social skill set.
    We have issues - plenty of them - but over many generations, nature and weather have taught us that some forces must be respected - not dominated. And that attitude has carried unto the social sphere. Hence our reputation of kindness.
    The Brits and the French who founded this country, and the millions who followed them were keen on one thing above all: mind your own business and respect your neighbours. I don’t know if it defines kindness, but it’s the next best thing IMO.
