Canada in pictures … and humour

I’ve often gone to the boredpanda.com site in my search for fun maps, but thanks to my friend Marilyn – who clearly spends at least as much time browsing the Internet as I do – for reminding me of all the non-map treasures on offer at Bored Panda. As they say in their intro:

Bored Panda is … dedicated to spreading viral content that makes people happy. Each month, we bring happiness to 30 million readers from the US, the UK and all around the world.

Here is a taste of one of their recent posts, called “Meanwhile, In Canada”: 50 Photos That Perfectly Sum Up Canada. I’m not sure that you should take the part about summing up Canada perfectly too seriously, but they are fun. I’m offering you 10 of my favourites, but it’s worth the few extra minutes to check out the other 40 pics Bored Panda provides in their attempt to capture Canada in pictures … and humour.
