The preconceptions say Canada has towering trees, and constant snow, and large dangerous animals like moose or bears that'll walk right up next to you to let you admire their majesty without goring you because they were really just on their way to find something else to eat, and people going places on big sleds pulled by reindeer and dogs, and everyone is considerate and polite, and their police wear wide-brimmed hats and ride horses around crowded cities because to some people projecting a presence is still important, and I can't figure out how to fit syrup into this anywhere but apparently it's extra-delicious there because it is extracted from the living bodies of those massive trees and taken right out to be boiled to remove tree contaminants and then directly poured over waffles after it cools down instead of being thinned out, mixed with preservatives and flavor reconstructors, and left to sit in a big tank with half a ton of other identically-processed syrup sources for a week.
Basically, I can see why whenever there's a major problem in the United States, people say "That's it. I'm moving to Canada.". I have no idea how much of those preconceived Canada notions are true, but American pop culture makes the place sound awesome.
