    19 Struggles All Canadians Know Too Well

    “This video is not available in your country.”

    1. Finding yourself regularly apologizing to inanimate objects that you bump into.

    2. And apologizing for apologizing too much.

    3. “This video is not available in your country.”

    4. Opening the door for someone a metre away and waiting awkwardly.

    5. People misunderstanding how to use “eh” in a sentence.

    6. Never being sure if you’re supposed to sing the French or the English version of “O Canada.”

    7. Realizing that most of the money in your wallet is actually Canadian tire money.

    8. When the shipping costs more than the actual item.

    9. Colouring in Nunavut on the map.

    10. I mean, look at it!

    11. Annoying Marineland commercials.

    12. Being forced to learn French for 5+ years and only knowing how to say "hello" and ask where the bathroom is.

    13. Hiding inside during recess so you didn't have to go outside in the freezing cold during winter.

    14. Never. Ever. Winning. The. Roll. Up. The. Rim. Never.

    15. And when you did for the first time...

    16. Whenever you travel, no one has any idea where you're from... unless you're from Toronto.

    17. We don't say "aboot" — we say "about" like everyone else.

    18. Saying sorry to someone even though they bumped into you.

    19. But of course, we love our country!
