Nope but sometimes I make a joke about it with my friends online (I'm the Canadian by the way)

Nope. It's just a stupid stereotype. The angry Canadians need to calm down.

I always think it's stupid when I hear that someone thought that Americans think that Canadians live in igloos...I mean obviously it's the Eskimos that do that!

Exactly!

I didn't even know it was a stereotype until I heard about people thinking it was true... I think a lot of people pretend to believe it just for fun.

Thank you so much for this >.< Sometimes I meet Canadians on the Internet and the conversation starts with something like: "Hi, I'm Canadian, and before you ask, no I don't live in an igloo and ride a polar bear to school." "Um...hi to you too? I didn't think you did, honest..." Maybe they're just tired of the igloo jokes, but please give us the benefit of the doubt here...

I'm Canadian. I went to America once and RIGHT ACROSS the bored (literally, 5 mins away from Canada) I met a guy who asked me if it was snowing. You may not think we live in igloos, but you cant deny that you think we live in permanent winter

actually, i dont. im not stupid. sure i know it gets cold there, but im not stupid enough to think you live in winter all year, thats like someone from a different country thinkin florida is always sunny, when its not.
