Happy Canada Day! In honor of our Northern neighbor's holiday today, I put together a case for dating Canadians — a topic near and dear to my heart as I'm actually married to one. That said, I'm making some generalities here that are specific to my Canucks-loving spouse and may not apply to all significant others hailing from the country. But incorporating personal experience with famous examples — thank you Ryan Gosling, Robin Scherbatsky, Scott Speedman, and the one and only William Shatner, to name a few — I've put together 25 reasons you should head north for love.
They really only care about one sport: hockey.
So you don't have to deal with sports on TV 24/7, 365 days a year.
They don't obsess over appearances.
Hey, if you're attracted to hockey players without teeth, you're not superficial.
They're always polite and friendly.
Even when they try to be mean, they're not really.
They're, like, really nice. Like, carrying puppies on an ice rink nice.
They're cool and collected under pressure.
Their musical taste is diverse because they'll listen to any and all Canadian singers.
Including but not limited to Avril Lavigne, Shania Twain, Leonard Cohen, Nickelback, Arcade Fire, Neil Young, etc.
They have an extensive sweater collection you can borrow from.
They're not as uptight or stressed as Americans.
They can make fun of themselves and their Canadian-ness.
They love Canada but appreciate America, too.
You get to celebrate even more holidays with them.
Like Boxing Day, Canada Day, and Canadian Thanksgiving.
