So this trend really isn't odd, but some strange and creative posts have come out of it. Everyone knows Canada absolutely killed it in hockey at the Olympics this year, Men's and Women's. Imgur was filled with pictures of Canadians in bars at 6 in the morning, and signs outside of bars saying the soup of the day, or the drink special is "America Tears". Canadians sure do love to drink. It seems like a stereotype that all Canadians love hockey and beer, but if you followed the things they've posted on the website recently, that would seem to be a true one. Oh, and Maple Syrup. They also love that. The Alberta Liquor and Gaming commission also decided that, due to the broadcast time of the gold medal game, they would alter the hours bars are able to serve alcohol to 5am. Starting at 5am, mind you, not ending at 5. Imgur and Reddit too were flooded with pictures of Canadians dressed in red and white, with maple leaf shirts and hats, getting rocked in bars at 6am, watching the Canadian hockey team beat Sweden in a shutout. One particularly funny post was a hilarious shot at Sweden. It was of a silver medal being constructed using Ikea instructions. Too funny.
Great post Matt! I’m always waiting to read your weekly posts to see what’s been going on around the World Wide Web. I find it very hilarious that Canadians are proving the stereotypes to be quite true. Bars opening at 5 am! That’s crazy. There was also photos or memes going around that involved Canada, the U.S and Justin bebier saying that the loser gets to keep him, I thought that was pretty funny and it was pretty widely spread as I’ve seen it multiple times on my Facebook and on random web searches. The photos you provided as well as the ones I can find if I google Canada winning are all too great.
