I grew up in western Canada, so we didn't get a whole lot of dumb tourist questions because most of the world didn't know we existed until the Alberta oilsands project started up. Now a lot of tourists who realize we exist think that we're all either hicks, rednecks, cowboys or rig pigs. C'mon, guys, give us a little credit...some of us live in BC and grow weed for a living!
Sadly, at least in this general vicinity, all we know about Canada is it consists of about 3 cities that actually have people, Montreal, Toronto and Calgary. And the rest of the country is trees and moosen.
And there's a song called "Canadian Idiot" which, oddly, is about how great you are.
