It’s strange to think just how much has changed in the past twenty years. If you’re over a certain age, it’s strange to think how long ago the year 2000 was, if we’re being honest.

14 Hilarious Posts That Could Only Have Been Penned by a Canadian

If there’s one thing the world thinks they know for sure, and can count on without a doubt, is that Canadians will continue to be delightfully kind and strange in equal measure.
