Hockey influences everything. For example, the US has Dancing with the Stars while Canada has Battle of the Blades.
Canada has one of the best trained militaries (as observed by other nations), yet they're also one of the most poorly equipped as far as western nations go.
Along the same theme as the thread, my particular little part of Canada is weird as far as Canada goes because we get very little snow.
Oh look at me! I live in BC and get very little snow! I have great pot sold in vending machines! BC rules!
I hate you.
