We, Canadians, are undoubtedly one of the most awesome creatures that ever graced this planet. We've shown the world how we dominate in ice hockey (and curling). We endure permafrost-inducing weather, without blinking an eye, (all the while maintaining our good grace and manners no less!). We even have our own mysterious lake creature, Ogopogo, who
reportedly lives in Lake Okanagan, British Columbia. Really what's not to love about Canadians?!However, like all superior species, we do have our own unique set of problems.
CHALLENGE: list a problem that is unique to us, Canadians (#CanadianProblems).
Example: "My triple down-filled parka's furry hood is blocking my peripheral vision... ahhhh... #CanadianProblems!"
The most apropos #CanadianProblems wins a special red and white prize!!
