Why do people assume that all Canadians like Hockey and go around saying eh and drink Beer!? It's just stereotypes that are propagated by the media!. They entertain, and people remember what's funny!. That's my take!

Its the way the media chooses to portray people and places!. I have a friend in BC Canada who gets really upset when someone asks her about igloos!. On the other hand, before I went back east the first time, I didn't think there was any land or trees there, I thought it was one giant cement jungle form Maine to Florida!. And I got that impression from television!!Www@QuestionHome@Com
